Endress+Hauser Prosonic FMU44: Long-Range Ultrasonic Level Measurement up to 20 Meters

FMU44 can be used in storage tanks, vessels with agitators, stockpiles and conveyor-belt applications. It is also suitable for flow measurement in open channels and at weirs. The envelope curve is visible on the local display, while a 32-point linearization function supports level, volume and flow-rate conversion.

Why Choose the Prosonic FMU44?

How Ultrasonic Measurement Works

The sensor sends ultrasonic pulses toward the material surface and receives the returning echoes. The transmitter uses the measured time of flight to determine distance and calculate level. An integrated temperature sensor automatically compensates for temperature-related changes in the speed of sound.

Prosonic FMU44 Key Specifications

Specifications, output variants and approvals depend on the selected order code. Confirm the current manufacturer documentation and complete application conditions before ordering.

Typical Applications

• Water and wastewater tanks
• Chemical storage and process vessels
• Liquids, pastes and slurries within the published limits
• Large silos and coarse bulk-material storage
• Stockpiles and conveyor-belt monitoring
• Open-channel and weir flow measurement

Installation and Selection Notes

Provide a clear acoustic path between the sensor and product surface. Keep the filling stream, ladders, heating coils and structural members outside the ultrasonic beam. The maximum level must remain outside the 0.5 m blocking distance. Heavy foam, dense vapor, strong turbulence, vacuum and severe temperature gradients can weaken the echo and should be reviewed during selection.

Information Needed for Correct Selection

1. Medium name and whether it is liquid, paste or bulk solid
2. Tank or silo height and required measuring range
3. Process temperature and absolute pressure
4. Foam, vapor, dust, agitation and filling conditions
5. Nozzle size, mounting position and internal obstacles
6. Hazardous-area approval, power supply and signal requirements
