Model P71

SKU: P71

Capacitance Probe, Flexible Cable

The Delta Controls Model P71 Capacitance Probe features a cable that is jacketed with PTFE insulating material. The bottom cable fitting is electrically isolated from the cable.

The P71 is primarily intended for liquid and interface measurement service. Some applications requiring these attributes include damp wood chips and pulpstock chests.

The probe should be located away from the vessel centerline by less than one quarter of the vessel’s diameter. The cable is provided with a bolt thread for direct attachment to the bottom of the tank. It may also be equipped with a lower weight, using gravity to keep it straight. The cable must be vertical and taut after installation. A simple bottom weight is the preferred method in calm, still storage tanks. A pipe stilling well should be used in conjunction with the weight when the liquid is agitated or where strong flowing currents are present. Fastening the lower cable termination to the bottom of an agitated tank is required when a stilling well cannot be installed or in applications where the stilling well may plug with deposits.
