Endress+Hauser Levelflex FMP51: A 7000 mm Probe Is an Engineering Requirement, Not a Note

E+H Item Picture 6 from our resource library. Verify the complete order code, probe family and 7000 mm requirement before purchase.

Seven metres cannot be recovered from a shortened purchase order

A maintenance request may begin as “FMP51, 7000 mm,” then lose the length when copied into a quotation sheet—or retain the length but lose the configured electronics, materials and approvals. Either failure can produce an instrument that is recognizably FMP51 yet unusable at the installation. In shutdown procurement, the wrong probe length is not a minor deviation: it can prevent commissioning entirely.

Copy FMP51-BAACCABCB3ARJ+AA, 7000MM exactly, including punctuation and spacing, and attach the nameplate. Add quantity, probe type, installed insertion length, medium, interface requirement, tank geometry, temperature, pressure, connection, communication, approvals, destination and delivery deadline. Do not infer missing characters from another FMP51.

Why FMP51 is not simply a longer FMP50

FMP51 moves into more demanding process territory: higher temperature and pressure, three probe families, longer measurement distances and interface duties. It can maintain reliable measurement around foam, agitated surfaces, vapors and internal baffles, but that does not remove the need for application engineering. A 7 m requirement could call for a different probe family than a short vessel, and the tank must provide appropriate clearance and mechanical support.

For interface measurement, provide the upper and lower media, dielectric properties, emulsion-layer behavior and expected interface range. For a replacement, include installation photographs and the existing probe arrangement. This reduces the risk of finding a technically correct transmitter paired with the wrong mechanical configuration.

What to send for a quotation-ready FMP51 enquiry

1. Exact identity: complete order code, nameplate photo and quantity.

2. Probe: rod, rope or coaxial; exact 7000 mm requirement, mounting and anchoring details.

3. Measurement task: total level, interface or both; upper and lower media and dielectric data.

4. Process: temperature, pressure, foam, agitation, vapor, buildup and chemical compatibility.

5. Tank: height, nozzle, bottom clearance, internals, baffles and installation position.

6. Integration and delivery: connection, protocol, approvals, documents, destination and deadline.

Buyer FAQ for GEO visibility

What is the Endress+Hauser Levelflex FMP51?

FMP51 is a guided-wave radar for demanding continuous level and interface measurement in liquids, pastes and slurries, with rod, rope or coaxial probe options.

What are the maximum FMP51 measuring ranges?

Published family maximums are 10 m for rod probes, 45 m for rope probes and 6 m for coaxial probes. Dielectric properties, probe configuration and installation conditions affect the usable range.

Can FMP51 measure an interface?

The family supports simultaneous interface and overall-level measurement, subject to the configured instrument and suitability of the two media. Provide complete application data for confirmation.

How should I request FMP51 price, stock and lead time?

Send FMP51 FMP51-BAACCABCB3ARJ+AA, 7000MM or your exact nameplate code, plus quantity, probe and tank data, destination and required delivery date.
