Flexi-probe install kit includes sleeve and adjustable height compression fitting. Accurate Installation
The flexible probe installation kit includes several design features which ensure accurate installation for proper performance.
A 16” (406 mm) stainless steel sleeve guides the probe into place and ensures proper vertical alignment.
The adjustable compression fitting allows for variable height adjustment, giving you the ability to set the probe depth with precision.
The guides and fitting make sure that the probe is installed correctly, thereby ensuring accurate and consistent level readings.
Aboveground Storage Tanks
Flexible probes are ideal for aboveground storage tank applications where probes are installed at higher levels.
The flexibility of the probe allows the installer to take the entire probe to the top of the tank, uncoil it, and then install it.
A long rigid probe can be difficult and dangerous to position and install at large heights.
Transporting a longer rigid probe takes up significantly more space than a flexible probe.

Operation
When a flexible probe takes a measurement an electromagnetic pulse is created inside the probe and travels down a long waveguide within the probe shaft. When the pulse encounters the magnetic field of one of the floats a portion of the pulse is reflected back to the probe head. When the reflected pulse is detected at the probe head the data is sent to the automatic tank gauge and a precise product level is displayed. Temperature sensors located at various points on the probe shaft allow the automatic tank gauge to compensate for temperature related expansion or contraction of the product.
