The FDU95 ultrasonic sensor for continuous, non-contact and maintenance-free level measurement of powdery to coarse bulk materials. The measurement is unaffected by dielectric constant, density or humidity and also unaffected by build-up due to the self-cleaning effect of sensors. Suited for explosion hazardous areas. Maximum measuring range in solids 45m (148ft).

Endress+Hauser Prosonic FDU95 Ultrasonic measurement Time-of-Flight
- Integrated temperature sensor for Time-of-Flight correction. Accurate measurements are possible, even if temperature changes are present
- Suited for rough ambient conditions thanks to separate installation from the transmitter (up to 300m)
- Reduced build-up formation because of the self-cleaning effect
- Integrated automatic sensor detection for transmitters FMU90/FMU95 for simple commissioning
- Weather resistant and flood-proof (IP 68)
- Non-contact measurement method minimizes service requirements
- International Dust-Ex and Gas-Ex certificates available
Sensor for continuous, non-contact level measurement of bulk materials in silos, on belts, stockpiles and in crushers. Typically used in measurements in low structural heights.
