Level Measurement For The Oil & Gas Industry
VEGA VEGAPULS 62

Offshore Level Sensors
In order to gain accurate wave height measurement offshore production and drilling facilities must be kept in the same place even in rough seas where there can be waves up to 30 metres high.
Environmental factors such as waves and winds are measured and GPs navigation data clearly evaluated.
“Freefall lifeboats” are attached to the platform to enable people to make a quick gateaway from the floating oil production facility in case of emergencies.
This would be released at the right moment so that it hits the highest point of the wave reducing the impact forces for passengers and material.
Measurement Of Wave Height With VEGAPULS 62
In addition to recording level measurement, VEGAPULS 62 level sensor also lends itself well for wave height measurement. With its measuring range of up to 75 metres it can be used for this purpose on any drilling platform. Unaffected by wind, temperature and fog, it ensures dependable measurement under all conditions.
Even in the heaviest swells, VEGAPULS 62 level sensor works reliably and safeguards the lives of the operating personnel.
