DATASHEET

Combined Temperature and Water Interface Probe

LATIS

Application A combined temperature and water-interface sensor for use in tanks storing a wide range
of liquids.
• Integrated temperature and continuous water level (Base Sediment Water) monitoring
• Single entry for two sensors: only one 29mm entry required
• Certified for hazardous Area Zone 0 operation
• Maintenance and calibration free, no need for onsite setting up
• High level detection accuracy: +/- 2mm
• Compatible with industry standard level gauges
• Suitable for operation in corrosive environments

This combined temperature and level capability means that only a single entry on the roof
of the tank is needed. Alternatively, the level probe alone can be installed at an angle, on
the side of the tank near its bottom.

These features make LATIS ideal for upgrading existing tanks without operational
disruption. The +/- 2mm level accuracy qualifies LATIS for use in custody transfer
applications according to the international OIML R85 standard.

Construction The temperature part can consist of up to 13 true averaging elements or up to 14 Pt100
spot elements, providing a continuous temperature profile of the product and vapour.

The level part, made up of stainless steel, PTFE, FEP and VITON, is a capacitive probe,
providing a continuous indication of the level of water below the stored product. Probe
lengths from 150mm to 1.5m can be chosen. There is no need for on site calibration or set
up, whilst the mechanical construction of the probe provides virtually maintenance-free
operation over a wide range of products and temperature.
