We proudly distribute a variety of level indicators and accessories, with products including:
Point Level Sensors: Detect when a fluid reaches a specific level or “point” in the tank or container.
A level sensor is a device used to detect, monitor, or measure the level of liquids, powders, slurries, or bulk solids inside tanks, vessels, or containers.
What are the different types of level sensors?
Common types of level sensors include float switches, ultrasonic sensors, conductivity probes, capacitance sensors, radar level sensors, hydrostatic sensors, and optical level sensors. Each technology is designed for specific applications and materials.
What is the difference between point level sensing and continuous level sensing?
Point level sensing detects whether material has reached a specific level, such as high or low level alarms. Continuous level sensing measures the entire level range inside a tank or vessel and provides real-time level data.
How do float level switches work?
Float level switches use a buoyant float that rises or falls with liquid levels. When the float reaches a designated point, it activates a switch to control pumps, alarms, or other equipment.
What are conductivity level sensors used for?
Conductivity level sensors detect the presence of conductive liquids by measuring electrical conductivity between probes. They are commonly used in boiler systems, water treatment equipment, and sump monitoring applications.
What industries use level sensors?
Level sensors are widely used in water and wastewater treatment, chemical processing, food and beverage manufacturing, pharmaceutical production, oil and gas operations, HVAC systems, and industrial automation.
How do ultrasonic level sensors work?
Ultrasonic level sensors measure liquid or material levels by sending sound waves toward the surface and calculating the time it takes for the signal to return.
What factors should be considered when selecting a level sensor?
Important considerations include the type of material being measured, temperature, pressure, tank size, chemical compatibility, required accuracy, mounting requirements, and environmental conditions.
What is an intrinsically safe level sensor?
An intrinsically safe level sensor is designed for hazardous environments where flammable gases, vapors, or dust may be present. These devices help reduce the risk of ignition in classified areas.
Can level sensors be used for both liquids and solids?
Yes. Certain level sensing technologies can monitor both liquids and bulk solids, including powders, pellets, grains, and granular materials.
