MPI-F/K

Float Level Transmitter for Large Tanks

Reliable, Accurate Level Monitoring with the MPI-F/K Continuous Float Sensor.

The MPI-F/K Continuous Float Level Sensor from APG ensures precise liquid level monitoring in demanding industrial applications. Built with corrosion-resistant PVDF tubing, it simplifies installation in tall storage tanks while maintaining its Class I, Div 1 Intrinsically Safe rating. Designed for water, wastewater, chemical, oil and gas, and industrial effluent applications, the MPI-F/K provides continuous, accurate level measurement with minimal maintenance.

  • Flexible Installation: 5/8” flexible PVDF tubing allows for easy setup without large cranes.
  • Modbus Compatibility: RS-485 Modbus RTU output integrates seamlessly with PLC and control systems.
  • Remote Monitoring: Works with LOE Master or RST-5003 for internet connectivity.
  • Reliable in Harsh Environments: NEMA 4X/IP66-rated for protection against dust, water, and extreme temperatures (-40° to 185°F).
  • Precise Measurements: ±0.05% FS or ±1 mm accuracy, ideal for oil/water interface monitoring, thick fluids, and industrial processes.

Is the MPI-F/K easy to install and integrate with my existing system?

Yes! The MPI-F/K offers a flexible design that supports easy installation in various tank configurations. It features RS-485 (Modbus RTU) and 4-20 mA outputs, making it compatible with most industrial control systems.

Yes, the MPI-F/K is capable of dual-level (interface) measurement, making it ideal for applications where monitoring two distinct liquid layers (such as oil and water) is required.

The MPI-F/K is rated for Class I, Division 1 and Class I, Zone 0 hazardous locations and certified by cCSAus, ATEX, and IECEx, ensuring compliance with strict safety regulations.

The MPI-F/K is available in lengths up to 50 feet (15.2 meters), making it suitable for a wide range of tank sizes and applications.

Yes, when paired with the MDI display, the MPI-F/K provides a self-contained, intrinsically safe level measurement and display system, eliminating the need for additional control equipment.
