Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi VPC205 Conductive Level Probe?
The Carlo Gavazzi VPC205 is a robust conductive level probe designed for reliable detection and control of electrically conductive liquids in industrial tanks, vessels and process systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi VPC level probe range, it features two stainless-steel electrodes for dependable liquid level sensing.
The VPC205 uses the conductive sensing principle, detecting liquid when an electrically conductive medium makes contact with the electrodes. Its two isolated probes make it suitable for level monitoring applications such as filling and draining control when connected to a compatible conductive level controller.
With two 0.5 m AISI 316 stainless-steel electrodes measuring 4 mm in diameter, a durable PVC housing and 1/2-inch pipe thread, the VPC205 provides a practical solution for fixed installation in industrial tanks and vessels. Screw-terminal connection and IP67 protection support reliable operation in demanding environments.
