IMCL Low Cost Submersible Pressure Sensor

Economical IP68 protected sensor with stainless steel 316L housing and Ceramic strain gauge sensing diaphragm for measuring liquid depth pressure or the pressure in a submerged pipe or vessel. Measure hydrostatic pressure from from 0 to 10 mWC (33 ftWC) up to 0 to 100 mWC (330 ftWc) and convert reading to a millivolt, current or voltage signal output. The Ceramic diaphragm has a high chemical resistance to media such as leachate and seawater, and the housing can be upgraded to Duplex stainless steel if necessary for extra material protection. A PUR coated cable is fitted as standard, but for additional chemical protection an FEP coated cable can be supplied.

Product Description

The IMCL low cost water proof liquid level sensor is designed for end user or OEM applications which require a low cost submersible sensor with a durable design and a medium grade accuracy performance. Threee different choices of housing, seals and cable are possible with the IMCL to provide 27 different configurations to suit a wide range of liquid media compatibility.

A high pressure water tight seal protects the signal conditioning electronics from leaking down to depths up to 100 metres (328 feet).  The electronics are also protected from lightning induced voltage surges to reduce the risk of damage at exposed locations such as landfill sites and reservoirs.

The electrical signal of IMCL low cost IP68 hydrostatic level sensor can be a low power consumption millivolt output for connection to battery powered telemetry monitoring system or logging instrumentation.  For process applications such as water treatment, landfill sites or tank storage a 4-20mA can be specified for transmitting a level reading from one side of a site to another through analogue signal cable wires.
