Product description
The level probe LFH is a robust pressure
transmitter for continuous level measure-
ment. The liquid column above the probe
creates a hydrostatic pressure which
is a direct indicator for the liquid level.
Through its permanently connected ca-
ble the LFH is submerged into the liquid.
The precise measurement technology
is integrated in a robust stainless steel
housing. To meet the diverse require-
ments, the level probe LFH is available
in two versions, standard and enhanced.
For the enhanced variant there is a
