Technical Specifications
Product Overview
Ultrasonic level sensor for measuring water level in weirs and open channels.
Working Principle
This level measurement sensor operates on advanced magnetostrictive or ultrasonic principles, providing continuous and accurate liquid level monitoring. The sensor generates a precise measurement signal by detecting the position of a float or by analyzing ultrasonic wave reflections from the liquid surface. The measurement technology ensures high accuracy across a wide range of liquid types, temperatures, and pressure conditions. The sensor's robust construction and intelligent signal processing algorithms eliminate false readings caused by foam, vapor, or turbulence, delivering reliable measurements even in challenging industrial environments.
Application Scenarios
Widely deployed in petroleum storage tanks, chemical processing vessels, water treatment facilities, and industrial wastewater management systems. Essential for inventory management in fuel depots, level control in reactor vessels, and monitoring of cooling water systems. Particularly valuable in applications requiring precise volume calculations for custody transfer, process optimization, and safety interlocking. The sensor excels in both atmospheric and pressurized vessel applications, supporting industries including oil & gas, chemical manufacturing, power generation, and municipal water utilities.
Technical Advantages
Features non-contact measurement capability eliminating mechanical wear and maintenance requirements. Provides continuous level monitoring with exceptional accuracy and repeatability. Immune to process conditions such as temperature variations, pressure fluctuations, and liquid density changes. Offers multiple output options including analog signals, digital protocols, and wireless connectivity for seamless integration with control systems. The sensor's self-diagnostic capabilities and built-in temperature compensation ensure long-term measurement stability and reliability.
Installation and Usage Guide
Mount the sensor vertically at the top of the vessel with the sensing element extending into the measurement range.
