Yes. The SITRANS LR100 can reliably measure level through a non‑metallic plastic tank top without the need for a nozzle or tank penetration. Radar signals pass through most plastics with minimal attenuation, enabling accurate, continuous measurement while keeping the transmitter safely outside the vessel.

For best performance, the tank top should be free of metallic layers or reinforcements and excessively thick or highly filled plastics should be evaluated. This approach improves safety by eliminating confined‑space entry and exposure to process media, and it simplifies installation and maintenance.

A properly engineered level measurement system should also include a level switch for alarm or back‑up. Typically for Hi level overfill prevention and/or low‑level for dry‑run protection, these safeguards help ensure safe operation and process reliability.

Supplementary components are designed to work alongside most types of instrumentation to enhance functionality, such as enabling remote displays and remote monitoring solutions. They help extend system visibility and accessibility.
