*FMR532 Radar Tank Gauge
The FMR532 Radar Tank Gauge (RTG), with an accuracy rate of ±0.5 mm and ideally suited for custody transfer applications, is used for continuous, non-contact level measurement in bulk liquid storage tanks. The FMR532 RTG with planar antenna is specifically suited for stilling well applications with ranges up to 38 m (124 ft). The emitted circular mode radar pattern is a must for high accuracy applications on stilling wells.

Accuracy Approved for Custody Transfer
FMR532 RTG uses C (6 GHz) band microwaves to measure liquids to an accuracy of ±0.5mm (0.02″) This gauge is NMI and PTB approved for use in custody transfer tank gauging systems.
Touch Screen Operations
Easy onsite operation using built-in touch control display without having to open the enclosure. A remote display is also available so that you can read and operate the gauge from the tank side.
Low Cost Wiring
Intrinsically safe 4-wire technology reduces on-tank wiring costs and allows easy implementation into existing systems.
Worldwide Approvals
Each radar gauge is approved for use in explosion hazardous areas to FM, CSA and ATEX standards.
Key Features
