Pressure sensors with CONTITE measuring cell

watertight, condensation-free, stable
For foodstuffs, water, wastewater, chemicals
and pharmaceuticals

Application
The Deltapilot S product range is
designed for continuous level
measurement of liquids and pastes in
the chemical, pharmaceutical and
foodstuffs industries as well as in water
and wastewater treatment. Together with
an appropriate transmitter they can be
used to:
• determine level, volume, differential
pressure, product weight, density,
• control limit contacts and
• integrate the measuring point into
various automation systems.

Features and Benefits

• New "CONTITE" measuring cell:
− watertight, condensation-free, with
long-term stability,
− excellent linearity (better than 0.1%
of measuring range),
− low temperature coefficient
(better than 0.1%/10 K).
• Probes in compact, rod or rope
versions.
• Separate mounting of housing and
electronic insert (protection IP 68 at
the measuring point).
• Easy and simple operation with Smart
electronic inserts:
− with FHB 20 display directly on-site,
− with intelligent data protocols
(INTENSOR; HART) or
− using an interface card to connect to
a personal computer via Rackbus or
to PROFIBUS-PA.

Measuring System Measurement Principle
The weight of a column of liquid
generates a hydrostatic pressure. At
constant density, the hydrostatic
pressure is a function of the height h of
the column of liquid only:
phydrostatic = ρ ⋅ g ⋅ h
ρ = density
g = gravitational constant
h = distance between the surface of the liquid
and the centre of the process diaphragm

Measuring Cell
The heart of the Deltapilot S is the new Pressure compensation
"CONTITE" measuring cell – The sealed "CONTITE" measuring cell is
condensation-free, watertight, and with designed to measure gauge pressure.

Housing Adapter
The housing and electronic insert can
be mounted remotely from the
measuring point by using the housing
adapter. The adapter also enables
problem-free measurement:
• under especially difficult conditions
(very damp environment or danger
from flooding),
• in narrow or inaccessible mounting
areas.
Compact instruments with operating
module can be easily and simply
operated and remotely monitored from
the actual measurement point. The
ingress protection at the measuring
point is IP 68 with this arrangement.
