Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi VTI1 Conductive Level Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi VTI1 is a robust conductive level probe designed for reliable level detection of electrically conductive liquids in industrial tanks, vessels and process systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi VT/VTI level sensor series, it is suitable for maximum and minimum level control in filling, charging and discharging applications when connected to a compatible amplifier relay.

The VTI1 incorporates a single AISI 316 stainless steel electrode with PTFE insulation, providing excellent resistance to chemicals and making the probe suitable for demanding process environments. The standard electrode is 1,000 mm long and Ø5 mm in diameter and can be shortened to establish the required detection level for the application.

With a PTFE housing, 1½-inch ISO 228-1 pipe thread, 1 m silicone cable and IP67 protection, the VTI1 provides a durable installation for industrial liquid-level monitoring. The probe operates at temperatures from 0 to +145 °C and is rated for pressure up to 4 bar at 143 °C.

Key Advantages

  • Reliable conductive level detection for electrically conductive liquids.
  • Single 1,000 mm AISI 316 stainless steel electrode that can be shortened to suit the required detection level.
  • PTFE-insulated electrode and PTFE housing provide excellent chemical resistance.
  • High operating temperature capability up to +145 °C.
  • IP67 protection rating for demanding industrial environments.
  • Suitable for maximum and minimum liquid-level control when used with a compatible amplifier relay.

Key Features

  • Carlo Gavazzi VT/VTI conductive level probe series.
  • One isolated electrode for conductive liquid detection.
  • AISI 316 / DIN 1.4401 stainless steel electrode.
  • 1,000 mm standard electrode length.
  • Ø5 mm electrode diameter.
  • Electrode insulation manufactured from PTFE.
  • PTFE housing with excellent chemical resistance.
  • 1½-inch ISO 228-1 pipe thread.
  • 1 m silicone connection cable.
  • IP67 degree of protection.
  • Operating temperature range of 0 to +145 °C.
  • Pressure rating of 4 bar at 143 °C.

Reliable Conductive Liquid Level Detection

Conductive level probes such as the Carlo Gavazzi VTI1 detect the presence of electrically conductive liquids using the conductivity of the process medium. The electrode length determines the level at which liquid is detected, while the connected amplifier relay determines the control function, allowing the probe to be used for maximum or minimum level monitoring and filling or discharging control.

The VTI1 is particularly well suited to demanding environments because both the probe insulation and housing use chemically resistant PTFE. Its AISI 316 stainless steel electrode combines corrosion resistance with mechanical durability, while the standard 1,000 mm electrode can be cut to the appropriate length for the installation.

Typical Applications

  • Conductive liquid level monitoring in industrial tanks.
  • Maximum and minimum liquid-level control.
  • Tank filling and emptying systems.
  • Industrial process vessels.
  • Chemical and process industry applications.
  • Water and conductive fluid handling systems.
  • Automated charging and discharging control systems.
