Product Information

Comprehensive technical details and specifications for our industrial tank gauging solution

Product Description

The magnetostrictive tank-gauging MTG-RS-R5F(X) Series probe utilizes magnetostrictive technology to provide users with the same level of reliability, durability and cost-effectiveness they expect with all OMNTEC products. The MTG-RS-R5F(X) Series probe used with OMNTEC’s tank gauging controllers monitors product levels, water levels and temperature in both underground and aboveground tank applications.
The MTG-RS-R5F(X) Series probe monitors the following conditions: high-product level, low-product level and high-water level. To provide the greatest flexibility of use, the probe’s shaft is 316 stainless-steel and the floats are available in a variety of materials and sizes.
The MTG-RS-R5F(X) Series probe is ruggedly constructed to provide reliable and cost-effective performance.
