1.9 to 4)
Non-conductive liquids, e.g. gasoline, oil, toluene, etc.
• C (ε
r
4 to 10)
e.g. concentrated acid, organic solvents, ester, aniline, etc.
• D (ε
r

Measurement of the following media with absorbing gas phase
For example:
• Ammonia
• Acetone
• Methylene chloride
• Methyl ethyl ketone
• Propylene oxide
• VCM (vinyl chloride monomer)
To measure absorbing gases, either use a guided radar, measuring devices with another
measuring frequency or another measuring principle.
If measurements must be performed in one of these media, please contact Endress+Hauser.
For the dielectric constants (DC values) of many media commonly used in industry, please refer
to:
• Dielectric constant (DC value) Compendium CP01076F
• The Endress+Hauser "DC Values app" (available for Android and iOS)
