Levelflex FMP50 is the instrument for basic applications in liquids which do not place high demands on temperature and pressure ranges or chemical resistance. Particularly in basic supply or storage applications as well as utility processes FMP50 is the best choice. Levelflex FMP50 guided radar is used for continuous level measurement of liquids, pastes and slurries. The measurement is not affected by changing media, temperature changes, gas blankets or vapors.
