Micropilot NMR81 is used for custody transfer and inventory control applications with NMi- and PTB-approvals and meets the requirements according to OIML R85 and API 3.1B. NMR81 is particularly suited for free space applications up to 70m. The drip-off lens antenna with 80 GHz transmitting frequency produces a sharply focused beam angle of 3° and avoids obstacles even close to tank wall.

80GHz drip-off lens antenna suited for free space applications up to 70m offers high beam focusing for applications with nozzle situated close to tank wall.

• Process connections: Flanges

• Temperature: -40 to +170°C (-40 to +338°F)

• Pressure: Vacuum to +16bar (Vacuum to +232psi)

• Maximum measuring range: 70m (230ft)

• Accuracy: ±0.5mm (±0.02")

• Transmitting frequency: 80GHz

• International explosion protection and custody transfer certificates, overfill prevention WHG, SIL

• Hardware and software developed according to IEC 61508 up to SIL3 (in homogeneous redundancy) for high level of safety

• Maximum reliability through accuracy up to ±0.5mm (±0.02")

• Developed according to international metrology recommendations such as OIML R85 and API MPMS

• Local and country-specific certifications like NMi or PTB for custody transfer applications

• Simplified installation and trouble-free operations due to easy connection to major DCS systems via open protocols

• 80GHz technology for narrow beam angle for sharper focus, without interference from tank wall and obstructions
