Tank Gauge System

The 8500 Spot Temperature Sensor (STS) connects to the Varec float and tape transmitters, servo tank gauge or tankside monitor to provide spot temperature measurement for use in accurate inventory volume calculations.

 

 

 

Suitable for Many Applications

The 8500 STS provides many options to suit your applications, including probe lengths from 18″ to 48″ (46 to 122 cm), flanged models for 150 psig (1 MPa) and 300 psig (2 MPa) service, as well as HART, 4‐20mA, Profibus or Foundation Fieldbus communications protocols for integration with tank gauges or monitors.
