FAQ
Q1: What is TAKEX FL-6BC?
A: FL-6BC is a φ6.35 PFA-covered chemical-resistant fiber optic unit that uses refractive sensing for liquid level detection.
Q2: What liquids can FL-6BC detect?
A: It can detect water, oil, and a wide range of chemical liquids, including colored and colorless transparent liquids. Sample testing is recommended for highly viscous or turbid liquids.
Q3: How does FL-6BC detect liquid level?
A: It detects the optical change caused by the difference in refractive index between air and liquid when the sensing tip contacts the liquid.
Q4: What is the sensing tip size of FL-6BC?
A: FL-6BC uses a φ6.35 cylindrical sensing tip.
Q5: What is the repeatability of FL-6BC?
A: Repeatability is 1 mm or less when detecting water.
Q6: What is the pressure resistance of FL-6BC?
A: The pressure resistance range is −0.1 to +0.5 MPa.
Q7: What is the ambient temperature range of FL-6BC?
A: The ambient temperature range is −40 to +70°C, provided condensation does not occur inside the PFA tube.
Q8: What are the fiber length and bending requirements of FL-6BC?
A: The fiber length is 2.5 m, with an allowable bending radius of R40 mm. The first 50 mm from the sensing tip must not be bent.
Q9: Does FL-6BC provide NPN or PNP output?
A: No. FL-6BC is a fiber optic sensing unit and requires a compatible TAKEX fiber amplifier for electrical output.
Q10: What applications are suitable for FL-6BC?
A: It is suited to liquid level and liquid presence detection in tanks, analyzers, liquid supply equipment, and process systems requiring chemical-resistant PFA construction.
