Product Highlights
The LMK487 Level Transmitter is a versatile device designed for precise measurement of pressure in a wide range of applications. With a nominal pressure range from 0 … 1 mH2O up to 0 … 100 mH2O, it offers excellent performance and accuracy. The transmitter provides a 2-wire output signal of 4 … 20 mA, with the option for other output signals upon request.
One of its special characteristics is its compact size, with a diameter of only 22 mm, making it suitable for installations with limited space. Additionally, it boasts a LR certificate from Lloyd’s Register and DNV GL Approval from Det Norske Veritas Germanischer Lloyd, ensuring its compliance with stringent industry standards. The diaphragm of the transmitter is made of 99.9% Al2O3, guaranteeing robustness and durability. It also offers high long-term stability, making it a reliable choice for long-term operations.
Furthermore, the LMK487 Level Transmitter comes with various optional versions, including a housing material option in titanium, an IS-version Ex ia for intrinsic safety in gas and dust environments, a temperature element Pt 100, and different types of elastomer, providing flexibility to meet specific application requirements
Applications
The water application of the LMK 487 Level Transmitter covers a range of uses, including drinking water abstraction and desalination plants. In these environments, precise and reliable level measurement is crucial for ensuring the consistent supply and quality of water. The transmitter’s robust design and high accuracy make it ideal for monitoring water levels in reservoirs, tanks, and treatment facilities, helping operators maintain optimal process control and comply with regulatory standards for potable water.
In the context of shipbuilding/ offshore, the LMK 487 is particularly well-suited for demanding marine environments. It is commonly used in ballast tanks, where accurate level measurement is essential for maintaining the stability and safety of vessels. Additionally, the transmitter supports the monitoring of a ship’s position and draught, which is vital for navigation and operational efficiency. Its corrosion-resistant construction and compact design allow it to perform reliably in harsh offshore conditions, making it a preferred choice for level measurement in both ballast and storage tanks on ships and offshore platforms.
