4 Common Types of Liquid Level Sensors and Their Uses

Image
We know that liquid level sensors are used for monitoring free-flowing substances to regulate the process in a particular way. Usually, these substances are liquid. However, some solids like powdered substances can be measured by the liquid level sensor. Most of the liquid level sensors are used industrially. These have been in markets for decades. Food and beverage, agriculture, printing, medical and domestic, and automotive industries use these type of sensors for level measurement or leak detection. For instance, liquid level sensors are used in cars to monitor liquids including oil, fuel or power steering fluid.  You can also found them in household machines such as a coffee machine. A level sensor is used to identify a liquid rise and fall point, total amount of liquid in a container, and continuous measurement of volume. The primary purpose of using a level sensor is to monitor and regulate the liquid level within a contained space such as huge tanks and vessels. .

Top Reasons Why You Should Select a Paddle Wheel Flow Meter

Image
The primary role of a flow meter is to manage the flow of liquid substances. The flow meter measures the flow of water or fluids to tell you how many liters you have already used, or how much flow do you have currently. Similarly, paddle wheel flow meters can measure accurately the volumes of water or other flowing fluid. In short, they are used for monitoring the liquid flow rates. These paddle wheel flow meters are also known as inline flow meters or insertion flow meter. Paddle Wheel Flow Meter Paddle wheel flow meter response fast, it works well with the clean fluids. A flow meter has three components: Pipe fitting, Paddle wheel sensor, and flow display. The pipe fitting can be used in different applications. The Paddle wheel sensor is an electronic sensor where magnets are embedded with the paddle wheel. While the fluid flows through the pipes it causes spinning of the paddle wheel. The magnets help the electrical pulse to calculate the ratio of the spinning. The ‘Flow D

Monitoring Liquid Level With in a Chemical or Water Holding Tank With Liquid Level Transmitter & Switch

Image
When customers are trying to monitor liquid level within a chemical or water holding tank they will incorporate a liquid level sensor, or liquid level transmitter . It will monitor the liquid level in the chemical or water holding tank either continuously or it can act as a liquid level switch. The customer must first decide which type of liquid level transmitter would work best within their chemical application, are they looking to monitor exactly how much chemical is in their chemical tank or would they like to control a pump at a certain liquid level? Once they decide which type of liquid level sensor they would like to incorporate into their process they can select the best technology for the liquid level transmitter. The 100-series submersible level transmitter / level sensor is a continuous level transmitter that sits on the bottom of the chemical holding tank and monitors the liquid level continuously. It will provide the customer with a 4-20mA output to communicate the

Why Leak Detection Switch Is So Important For Double Walled Tanks

Image
When it comes to chemical processing companies, for most aggressive chemical tank applications, clients will look to get a dual-contained tank. A dual contained tank is essentially a tank within a tank and it prevents a leak that may cause an injury or fines. A leakdetection switch is a mean to ensure that if there is a crack in the primary tank the operator will be made aware of the leak prior to it filling up and overflowing into the environment. One of market’s finest switches is LD series leak detection switch. The LD series leak detection switch for chemicals or water was manufactured to eliminate the overfilling of the secondary containment but to also ensure that the operators are informed on when a leak occurs. A leading tank manufacturer that specializes in double walled tanks has now standardized on the LD series leak detection switch for all chemicals. The LD series signal can be connected directly to a ProAlert Audible/Visual alarm which will most certainly get som

Manufacturing Companies Prefer Truflo OBS Series Plastic Pressure Gauge Over Stainless Steel Pressure Gauges

Image
One of the major challenges that manufacturing companies have to tackle with is the measurement of pressure of corrosive chemicals and waste water within the plant during industrial process. When industrialists look to increase the efficiency, and improve their process they will look to install a pressure gauge. The application for maintaining water pressure isn’t a tough one, but they have to look for a pressure gauge that is cost effective and accurate. The issue is selecting the right type of pressure gauge because there are many stainless steel pressure gauges available in the market but the problem with stainless steel on corrosive media is that it will corrode. This is why the industry has started to standardize on Truflo OBS series plastic pressure gauge for chemicals & waste water in corrosive chemicals and acids. It is available in PVC, PP, PVDF and PVC male NPT process connections, with the MNPT process connection it is an industry favourite due to the elimination

The LS Series Insertion Style Paddle Wheel Flow Meter And Chemical Processing Industries

Image
Over the past few decades Chemical Industrial control systems have been more accurate and less costly. The secret behind the revolution is the introduction of advanced, non-corrosive equipment like The LS series insertion style paddle wheel flow meter / water meter that are being used in industrial and chemical processes. Industries prefer non-corrosive equipment on the basis of their ability to save them form the risk of corrosion which is way more expensive problem to handle. Insertion style paddle wheel flow meter or water meter is one of the most common styles of flow meters. It is the most chemically inert insertion style paddle wheel flow meter on the market today. For the perfection in their process, Chemical dosing skids or chemical injection systems are always looking for the most accurate chemically inert flow meter on the market and it is the perfect match for their requirement. The LS series insertion style paddle wheelflow meter -water meter is the most accurat
