Accuracy Approved for Custody Transfer
NMT81 RTG, with an accuracy level of ±0.5mm (0.02″), uses the drip-off lens antenna and has an 80 GHz transmitting frequency for custody transfer applications. The NMR81 fulfills the exacting demands of tank inventory management, inventory control, custody transfer, loss control, total cost saving, and safe operation.
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
Each radar gauge is approved for use in explosion hazardous areas to FM, IEC Ex, EAC and ATEX standards. It is also SIL 2 and SIL 3 certified.
