Short-Range, Chemical-Resistant Ultrasonic sensors
About the ToughSonic®-200.14
Acids, bases, and chemical tanks of all kinds meet their match versus the ToughSonic®-200 series. The chemical-resistant ultrasonic sensor design includes heavy-duty electronics and a ruggedized transducer protected in a rugged polyvinylidene fluoride (Kynar®) housing.
TS-200 ultrasonic sensors measure a variety of corrosive liquids: diesel fuel in rail locomotives and storage tanks, chemicals in the paper and food processing industries, pesticides and fertillizers utilized in agriculture, and benign liquid level applications.
ToughSonic chemical sensors also provide the same reliable functionality of their general-purpose counterparts for precise distance ranging, proactive flood monitoring, proximity and object detection, roll diameter, and general industrial automation in harsh environments.
Advanced Features of the TS-200.14
The TS-200 series is built tough with a chemical-resistant PVDF housing, epoxy-potted heavy-duty electronics, and isolated transducers.
Senix sensors are built to withstand exposure to acids, bases, fuels, and other aggressive liquids used in processing.
The TS-200.14 delivers precise short-to-mid-range performance in harsh industrial environments where other sensors fail.
- Minimal Deadband: Enables additional range that would otherwise be off-limits for level and distance measurement
- Flexible Connectivity: TS-200 models support industrial networking, plus serial data for system integration
- Well-Suited for Industry: Rated IP68, NEMA-4X, and NEMA-6P for dependability in indoor and environmental conditions
- Versatile Mounting: Standard 1" NPT upper and 1.5" NPT lower threads simplify installation
Common Applications for Chemical-Resistant Sensors
Senix's ToughSonic-200 sensors offer accurate, non-contact level and distance measurements where superior resistance against harsh chemicals or volatile liquids is required.
Chemical Measurement
Measure chemical inventory in storage containers holding industrial fluids like coolants, cleaners, lubricants, and degreasers.
Tank Level Monitoring
Ensure chemicals and precipitants are dosed properly in conditioning tanks and process vessels for safe, optimal concentration.
Smart Sensor Communications
ToughSonic-200.14 sensors are available in RS-232 or RS-485 formats that include both analog outputs and serial communications.
RS-232 or RS-485 Format
