Level measurement technologies engineered for extreme operating conditions

Share:

From fuel bunkering monitoring to ballast tank control and safety systems, VEGA level measurement sensors play a key role in optimizing maintenance operations, ensuring reliable process control and improving material utilization.

Their high measurement accuracy and outstanding resistance to the harsh operating conditions typical of the marine environment – including exposure to corrosive substances and continuous vibration – make them particularly suitable for demanding onboard applications.

All solutions are fully compliant with International Maritime Organization (IMO) directives and hold certifications from major international ship classification societies, supporting their use in applications where measurement reliability, operational safety and regulatory compliance are essential.

A level switch for universal use with liquids

A representative example is the VEGASWING 66 by Vega, a level switch designed for universal use with liquids. Available in both compact and extension tube versions, it reliably and accurately detects when a defined level threshold is reached, with millimeter precision. The instrument can be used for both high- and low-level detection in tanks and steam generators.

The VEGASWING 66 is engineered to ensure maximum reliability and operational safety across a wide range of process temperatures and pressures. Its precise and dependable measurement performance allows it to address demanding marine applications where consistent level detection is essential for the safe and efficient operation of onboard systems.

Reliability for demanding marine applications

In marine environments, measurement technologies must operate continuously under challenging conditions. Vibration, corrosive substances, variations in temperature and pressure, and the need for reliable operation make the selection of appropriate level measurement equipment particularly important.

VEGA combines robust sensor technology with straightforward system integration and intelligent diagnostic tools. This approach supports operators in monitoring critical processes, simplifying maintenance activities and improving overall process efficiency.

For marine applications ranging from fuel bunkering and ballast tank management to safety-related systems, dependable level measurement can contribute to more effective resource management and greater operational reliability.

The combination of accurate measurement, robust construction, regulatory compliance and intelligent diagnostics makes VEGA technology a suitable solution for onboard level monitoring where performance and reliability are essential.
