The BM26A-5000 is a bypass chamber for level transmitters. It is the ideal solution for level measurement in difficult process conditions, e.g. turbulence and foam. In this way, the bypass chamber ensures the best installation conditions for reliable and accurate readings of different types of level transmitters like guided radars, FMCW radars or displacers. These can just be mounted on top of the bypass chamber which is installed adjacent to an open or pressurized tank and connected to it by two pipes. Operating on the principle of communicating vessels, the bypass chamber reflects the same level as in the tank. KROHNE can also supply an all-in-one solution consisting of a bypass chamber with the OPTIFLEX 7200 TDR guided radar, the OPTIWAVE 7400 non-contact FMCW radar or the BW 25 displacer level transmitter.
