- Point level measurement sensors: these are used for marking the height of single discrete liquid that is a present level condition. It is generally used as low alarming or for over fill alarming condition and is one of the methods of liquid level indication.
- Continuous level sensors: these are more sophisticated type of liquid level indicators. They can be used to monitor the level of the complete system. They measure the range of the fluid level instead of measuring the level just at one point or place. This results in production of an analog output which correlates directly with the level in the vessel. The process control loop and visual indicator is directly connected to the output signal for the creation of the level management system.
There are different devices and level measurement sensors available in the market. But before deciding which level measurement sensor you need to buy, you should keep some questions in mind.
- Whether you are measuring the liquid or gas?
- What are the ranges of application temperature and ranges of pressure?
- Whether you require to measure point level or continuous measurement?
- Which range of level measurement you need?
- Is the measured material good electrical conductor?
- Is turbulence, foam or vapors takes place on the liquid surface?
- Do you need a contact or non-contact measurement level?
- Do you need analog, digital, relay or any other kind of output?
The float switches, optical sensors and conductive sensors are the point level measurement indicator sensors while hydrostatic sensors, capacitance sensors and ultrasonic sensors are the continuous level measurement sensors.
The principle function of liquid level indicators is to make sure that all the industrial operations work smoothly due to their ability to monitor and control liquid levels in big trucks vessels and pipelines in different kinds of industrial organizations. The ultrasonic liquid level indicators are distinctive from the other kinds of indicators due to the reason that it is not placed in direct contact with the liquid instead it acts as a radar which emits high frequency acoustic waves with the frequency range of 20 KHz to 200 KHz directly towards the liquid. The signal which it reflects is detected by the transmitter. A table is then used for the translation of time that a particular wave frequency takes to travel through air. Then the distance it takes to reach from the surface of the liquid to the transmitter is calculated through simple subtractions which provide the liquid level.
