A toolset for challenging applications Product overview

Accutech instrumentation offers a versatile selection of instruments and base radios with performance- Base radio Level I/O Pressure Temperature
enhancing options that can satisfy any application. Optional external sensor configurations allow
installation in below-ground areas or on process equipment that is hard to reach. External hi-gain antennas
are available for complex environments where considerable obstructions and ultralong reach are required.

With this kind of flexibility Accutech field instruments becomes a key element in any challenging application:

• Wireless wellhead monitoring and control (including plunger arrival)

• Tank level measurement (with dual float liquid interface option)
