Application
SITRANS LCS100’s flexible insertion length, starting at 92 mm (3.6 inch), and its versatility in various applications and in vessels or pipes make it a good fit for most point level applications.
Its advanced design provides accurate, repeatable, switchpoint performance. The PPS (Polyphenylene sulfide) probe [optional PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride)] and optional peek are chemically resistant with an effective process operating temperature range from ‑40 to +125 °C (‑40 to +257 °F). The fully potted design ensures reliability in a vibrating environment such as agitated tanks. When used with a SensGuard protection cover, the LCS100 is protected from shearing, impact, and abrasion in tough primary processes.
The SITRANS LCS100 is available with either a stainless steel enclosure or a polyester enclosure and stainless steel or PPS process connection options.
- Key Applications: liquids, slurries, powders, granules, food and pharmaceuticals, chemicals, hazardous areas
