Product Description

The VEGA VEGABAR 86 Submersible Pressure Transmitter is a hydrostatic level measurement device designed for continuous monitoring of liquids in wells, basins, tanks, and open vessels.

It operates by measuring the hydrostatic pressure generated by the liquid column, converting it into an accurate level signal for industrial process control. The device is specially designed for harsh environments where conventional level sensors may fail, including wastewater, chemical storage, and water supply systems.

With a wear-free ceramic measuring cell, VEGABAR 86 ensures long-term stability, high overload resistance, and minimal maintenance requirements. Its flexible cable and tube versions allow installation in deep wells and large tanks, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial level measurement applications.
