For Spark, who developed the mechanical parts, this award means hugely valuable recognition from a highly professional users group.
Explosion safety
The Honeywell Enraf SmartRadar Flexline monitors the levels of oil, gas or chemical tanks. The product's housing is explosion safe and was designed by Spark to comply with all the relevant international guidelines, standards and requirements.

explosion-proof cable mounting and UV-resistant plastic cover.
High level
The Honeywell Enraf SmartRadar Flexline was praised by the technical readers of Control Engineering for the high level of technology, its market impact and the fact that the high added value for the petrochemical industry.
