Different Types of Level Sensors: Submersible Level Sensors, contactless level transmitters
Level sensors are essential devices used in a wide range of industrial applications to measure the level of liquids or solids in various containers, tanks, and vessels. They ensure safe and efficient operations in industries such as water treatment, oil and gas, food and beverage, chemical, and more. Two popular types of level sensors are submersible level sensors and contactless level transmitters. Each has its unique principle, measurement medium, advantages, and applications. Let’s explore them in more detail: Submersible Level Sensors Principle Submersible level sensors are designed to be submerged in the liquid they are measuring. These sensors typically use pressure-based technology to determine the liquid level. They operate by measuring the hydrostatic pressure at a specific depth, which is directly proportional to the height of the liquid above the sensor. This pressure is converted into an electrical signal, which is then used to calculate the liquid level. ...
