FMCX Multi-Level Sensors: The Ideal Solution for Aggressive Chemistries
When it comes to liquid level sensors, 316 stainless steel is often the go-to material due to its excellent resistance to corrosion and long lifespan in many liquid environments. However, not all
chemicals play well with stainless steel. For applications involving highly aggressive chemistries, you need a sensor made from materials specifically designed to withstand such environments. Enter the FMCX Chemical Use Multi-Level Sensors by Fluid Switch—crafted from Polypropylene (PP) or PVDF (Kynar), these sensors offer unmatched durability in challenging conditions.
Why Material Matters in Liquid Level Sensors
Choosing the right material for your liquid level sensor is crucial. The FMCX line is built for scenarios where 316 stainless steels may fall short, ensuring safe and reliable operation in aggressive chemical environments.

Polypropylene (PP)
- Offers excellent chemical resistance, particularly in environments containing chemicals like Acetic Anhydride (rated “A” for no effect in chemical compatibility charts).
- Ideal for applications requiring longevity and stability in aggressive liquids.
PVDF (Kynar)
- Perfect for liquids where polypropylene is not recommended, such as Carbon Tetrachloride (rated “A” for no effect).
- Combines durability with resistance to extreme chemical environments.
316 Stainless Steel
- Excellent for most applications but may have minor or severe effects with certain chemicals like Carbon Tetrachloride. For such cases, the FMCX made from PVDF becomes the superior choice.
Custom-Configurable for Your Application
The FMCX sensors stand out not just for their material options but also for their customizable design. Tailor these sensors to meet the exact needs of your application:
- Length: Specify the size to fit your tanks perfectly.
- Sensing Points: Configure the number of floats to monitor multiple levels.
- Mounting Types: Choose the connection style that works best for your setup.
This flexibility ensures that the FMCX sensors integrate seamlessly into your processes, no matter how unique or complex.
