Sector Application
Radar Level Transmitter for Fertilizer / Bulk Ag Storage
Strong evidence
What LibertyCES's vendor documentation shows
Real sector driver: ultrasonic sensors dropped out from attenuation in dense chemical vapors, manual tank climbing was a safety exposure, and inventory variance carried ~$50,000/yr shrinkage risk. The captured catalog counterpart agrees independently — Signet's own Level Application Suitability Matrix rates the 2260/2270 ultrasonic families '-' (Not Recommended) for dense surface foam while stating the 2290 radar works with fumes, condensation and light foam.
