Accuracy Approved for Custody Transfer
The FMR540 RTG, with an accuracy rate of ± 1 mm, is used for custody transfer and inventory control applications with NMi- and PTB-approvals and meets the requirements according to OIML R85 and API 3.1B. The parabolic antenna is particularly suited for free space applications up to 40m.
Touch Screen Operations
Easy onsite operation using built-in touch control display without having to open the enclosure. It also has a user friendly operating menu.
Worldwide Approvals
This radar gauge is approved for use in explosion hazardous areas to IEC Ex, ATEX and WHG standards. It is also SIL 2 certified for overfill prevention.
Key Features
- 4-wire technology: HART and 24 V DC intrinsically safe power supply.
- Non-contact measurement: Tank top is almost independent from product properties.
