When it comes to measuring liquid levels in high-corrosion environments, reliability and durability are critical. Automation Products Group, Inc. (APG) offers an excellent solution: the MPXI-F, our flexible stem, continuous float level transmitter. This magnetostrictive level sensor features a flexible proprietary PVDF stem for easy installation on tall tanks—no crane installation required.
Polyvinylidene fluoride, commonly abbreviated as PVDF, is a fluoropolymer resin coating used on metal materials such as aluminum and steel. This coating offers excellent resistance to corrosion and chemicals, making it an ideal choice for level sensors operating in environments where traditional materials would fail. PVDF has a broad range of chemical resistance, making it less prone to stress cracking from exposure to certain chemicals, extending the lifespan of your equipment, and reducing downtime.
Monitoring liquid levels in tanks filled with highly corrosive chemicals can be a struggle in chemical processing plants. In these challenging environments, sensors with plastic or stainless-steel construction fare poorly and simply don’t last. That’s where the MPXI-F shines. Designed with a flexible stem, the MPXI-F is a highly chemical resistant sensor designed for extreme environments. Its durable PVDF construction provides reliable performance in corrosive liquids. The accuracy of the flex probe’s level measurements allows your plant to optimize chemical storage and processing, increasing efficiency across the board.
Traditional level probes for tall tanks are heavy and difficult to install, often requiring a flatbed truck for transportation and a crane for installation—both costly and cumbersome. The flexible stem of the MPXI-F makes it easy to transport—it can easily coil into a box, with two probes at 25 feet or one singular 50-foot probe. Installation is easy—the stem weight allows the probe to unfold into the tank and no crane is required, saving both time and money.
