Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi VPC310 Conductive Liquid Level Probe?

The Carlo Gavazzi VPC310 is a robust conductive liquid level probe designed for reliable level monitoring of electrically conductive liquids in tanks, reservoirs and industrial process equipment. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi VPC series, it features three 500 mm electrodes for use with a compatible conductive level-control amplifier or relay.

The three electrodes are manufactured from corrosion-resistant AISI 316 stainless steel, measure 4 mm in diameter and are electrically isolated with polyethylene. The standard 500 mm probe length can be shortened to suit the required sensing levels, allowing the VPC310 to be configured for different tank dimensions and maximum/minimum level-control applications.

The VPC310 uses a durable PVC housing with a 1-inch BSPP / ISO 228 pipe thread for installation into a suitable tank or vessel. Screw terminals provide the electrical connection, while an operating temperature range of 0–60 °C, pressure rating of 2 bar and IP67 protection rating make it a practical solution for industrial conductive-liquid level monitoring.

Key Advantages

  • Three conductive electrodes support multi-point liquid level monitoring and control.
  • 500 mm electrode length can be shortened to suit the required sensing levels.
  • AISI 316 stainless steel electrodes provide excellent corrosion resistance.
  • Polyethylene-isolated electrodes support reliable conductive level sensing.
  • PVC housing provides durable construction for compatible industrial liquids.
  • IP67 protection rating supports installation in demanding industrial environments.

Key Features

  • Carlo Gavazzi VPC series conductive level probe.
  • Three stainless steel electrodes.
  • Electrode length of 500 mm.
  • Electrode diameter of 4 mm.
  • AISI 316 stainless steel electrode material.
  • Polyethylene electrode isolation.
  • 1-inch BSPP / ISO 228 pipe thread for tank or vessel mounting.
  • PVC housing.
  • Screw-terminal electrical connection.
  • Operating temperature range of 0–60 °C.
  • Pressure rating of 2 bar.
  • IP67 degree of protection.

Reliable Conductive Liquid Level Detection

Conductive level sensing uses the electrical conductivity of the monitored liquid to determine when it reaches the installed electrodes. When used with a compatible Carlo Gavazzi level-control amplifier or relay, the VPC310 can form part of a system for maximum and minimum level control, including automatic filling and draining applications. The exact switching and control function is determined by the associated amplifier relay and wiring configuration.

The VPC310's three 500 mm AISI 316 stainless steel probes provide flexibility when establishing multiple sensing points within a tank or vessel. The electrodes can be shortened to suit the application, while their polyethylene isolation, PVC housing, screw-terminal connection and 1-inch threaded mounting provide a practical installation format for compatible conductive liquids.

Typical Applications

  • Conductive liquid level monitoring.
  • Maximum and minimum tank-level control.
  • Automatic tank filling systems.
  • Automatic tank draining systems.
  • Industrial water and conductive-fluid handling equipment.
  • Process tanks, reservoirs and storage vessels.
