| Radar Level Transmitter for Solids | 
The Siemens LR260 is a level transmitter that uses pulse radar technology. It is great for measuring your bulk solids in silos, hoppers, or bins. This unit performs well in severely dusty environments such as coal, limestone, gypsum, grains, and starch. Unlike ultrasonic technologies, the radar transmitters do not lose their readings when dust clouds form during filling. The LR260 is also a great alternative to a weight and pulley system because it is "non-contact" meaning it does not actually touch the product which can cause problems over time. The LR260 transmitter gives you a continuous 4-20mA current output for constant monitoring. The unit sets up easily with a Quick Start menu on the local display or on your laptop. The ANSI flange has a built in easy aimer ball that allows the users to adjust the angle of the horn to ensure a strong signal. For any silo or tank 66 feet or shorter, the Siemens LR260 is a simple measuring solution.

Gilson Flow and Level Lab | |
Gilson Engineering has completed a flow and level lab in our Pittsburgh office. This lab includes many of the flow, level, pressure, and valve products represented by Gilson Engineering. We make this available to any customer that would like to train on product configuration or troubleshooting techniques. This is a safer and less expensive way to test a product than on an actual application. Its also a lot warmer than standing outside in the middle of winter.
Besides customized product training, we have the ability to verify calibration of many types of flowmeters from 1/2" - 2".
Contact Gilson Engineering for a list of available products in our lab, or to schedule an appointment to visit.

| Tech Quiz Answer |
Answer: % of Rate
% of rate indicates that within the stated flow meter range, the accuracy will always be +/- % of the actual flow rate. Example: a magmeter accuracy is 0.5% of flow rate, and full scale flow rate of 1,000 gpm. Thus at 50 gpm (+/- .25 gpm), or 1,000 gpm (+/- 5.0 gpm).
% of Full Scale indicates that within the stated flow range, the accuracy will be +/- % of the flow meters full scale. Example: flowmeter with an accuracy of +/- 0.5 % F.S., and a full scale flow rate of 1,000 gpm. Accuracy will be +/- 5.0 gpm at high and low flows. |
