Product
Radar
VEGAPULS
-
In continuous non-contact level measurement with radar, the sensor sends microwave signals towards the medium from above. The surface of the medium reflects the signals back in the direction of the sensor. Using the received microwave signals, the sensor determines the distance to the product surface and calculates the level from it.

Product
Vibration
VEGASWING, VEGAVIB, VEGAWAVE
-
In point level measurement with vibrating level switches, a rod or a fork is set vibrating. When the vibrating probe comes into contact with the medium, the vibration changes and the vibrating level switch outputs a switching command. Vibrating level switches are used as overfill protection devices or low-level indicators in liquids as well as in granular and powdery bulk solids.

Process Pressure
VEGABAR
-
Pressure transmitters measure the pressure of liquids, gases and vapours in pipes or closed vessels. The pressure of the measured medium acts on a pressure measuring cell, which converts it into an electronic signal.The process pressure transmitters are ideal for detecting the relative or absolute pressure in applications with condensation or rapid temperature changes.

Product
Electronic Differential Pressure
-
An innovative software and hardware concept makes it possible to combine any two pressure transmitters of the VEGABAR 80 series into an electronic differential pressure system. Electronic differential pressure measurement is often used for filters, pumps and pipelines.

Interface Measurement
-
Interfaces, that is, boundaries between separation layers, can be found everywhere in the process industry, e.g. in the chemical or oil & gas industry. An interface arises when two media with different densities are filled into a container: for example, water and oil. To separate the two media from one another, it is necessary to determine where the transition from one medium to the other is located. VEGA sensors can be used to measure both the total level and the interface reliably.

Product
Hydrostatic
VEGABAR, VEGAWELL, VEGADIF
-
In hydrostatic level measurement, the measuring cell of the pressure transmitter detects even the slightest changes in hydrostatic pressure, which increases or decreases depending on the filling level. The acting pressure is converted into an electrical signal by the integrated electronics and then outputted as an output signal. Different types of measuring cells are used in level measurement based on the hydrostatic principle.

Product
Guided Wave Radar (GWR)
VEGAFLEX
-
In level measurement with guided wave radar, microwave pulses are conducted along a cable or rod probe and reflected by the product surface. The measuring probe of the TDR sensor ensures that the signal reaches the medium undisturbed. Liquids, bulk solids and separation layers (interfaces) in liquids are commonly measured with this measuring technique.

Product
Indicating Instruments
-
In continuous level measurement, the filling height in a vessel is repeatedly detected. The measured value is further processed, e.g. as a 4 … 20 mA signal in a PLC or process control system. Indication of the measured value directly on site is also frequently requested.

Product
Hydrostatic Pressure
VEGABAR, VEGAWELL
-
The measuring cell of the pressure transducer detects minute changes in hydrostatic pressure, which increases or decreases depending on the filling level. The acting pressure is converted into an output signal by the integrated electronics.

Product
Overvoltage Protection Instruments
-
Safety devices designed to protect sensitive electrical equipment from voltage spikes, surges, or sustained excessive voltage.
-
Product
Ultrasonic
VEGASON
-
In non-contact ultrasonic level measurement, the sensor emits ultrasonic pulses in the direction of the medium, which then reflects them back.
-
Product
Level Switches
-
In point level detection, a point level switch detects when a certain predefined level is reached. Such a device is employed when it is not necessary to measure every possible intermediate level, as is the case with continuous level measurement. A switching command starts or stops filling equipment such as conveyors or pumps. Point level switches outputting a binary signal can be integrated into a process control system.

Electronic Differential Pressure
Density Measurement
-
An innovative software and hardware concept makes it possible to combine any two pressure transmitters of the VEGABAR 80 series into an electronic differential pressure system to measure density. Electronic differential pressure measurement is used for measuring density change and/or for compensation when the level needs to be measured.

Product
Flow
-
In flow measurement, the amount of material that flows through a certain pipe cross section per time unit is measured.

Product
Differential Pressure (Density)
VEGADIF
-
In density measurement of liquids with differential pressure, two pressure measuring points are mounted at a fixed distance from each other. There are thus two different pressures acting on the system. The differential pressure transducer calculates the density of the medium from the resulting pressure difference.
