P8500 | Liquid Level Controller
BelGAS CP Control Products
The BelGAS CP P8500 Liquid Level Controller is a pneumatically operated controller designed for precise liquid level and interface control in vessels such as separators, scrubbers, and tanks. It uses a displacer-based sensing system to convert changes in liquid level into a pneumatic output signal that can actuate control valves or downstream devices.
The controller operates through a cantilever displacement system where buoyant force on the displacer causes movement in a sensing rod and elastomer seat. This movement directly modulates output pressure, allowing the unit to maintain consistent liquid levels or trigger control actions based on process conditions.
The P8500 is available in both throttling and snap-acting configurations. Throttling models provide continuous output modulation for precise level control, while snap-acting models deliver a binary signal at a defined set point for on/off control applications.
Typical Applications:
Separators, compressor scrubbers, tanks, dehydrators, and treaters

PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGES
Why the BelGAS CP P8500 Performs Where It Counts
PRECISE LEVEL CONTROL
Throttling configuration provides pneumatic output adjustment, allowing smooth and accurate liquid level regulation within vessels.
RELIABLE ON/OFF SIGNALING
Snap-acting configuration delivers a clean, repeatable signal at a defined level point, ideal for alarms and automated shutdown systems.
ADAPTABLE TO PROCESS CONDITIONS
Multiple displacer materials, rod lengths, and mounting options allow the P8500 to be configured for a wide range of fluid types and operating environments.
SIMPLE, FIELD-ADJUSTABLE DESIGN
External adjustment screw allows operators to fine-tune control response and setpoints without removing the unit from service, reducing downtime.
