Hydrostatic level sensors

Hydrostatic level sensors – reliable level gauges

A hydrostatic level sensor is a device that measures differences in the hydrostatic pressure regime in liquid media. His work is based on the dependence of the depth and pressure of the liquid in direct proportion. Based on the measurements carried out, the device shows the level, this level gauge is able to function in closed and open containers and reservoirs.

Devices are in demand in this market segment for a reason, let's note their advantages:

• Reliability of the device in combination with tightness.
• The ability to work at high overpressure values, in a viscous medium, at great depth, and in other harsh conditions.
• The variability of the choice of length.
• Additional temperature sensors, lightning and explosion protection are built in (in some models).
• The durability of the device, ease of operation and cleaning.

Appointment

By appointment, the hydrostatic water level sensor is a multifunctional device, it performs several tasks at the facility. The main task is to monitor the pressure and, accordingly, the level of the liquid medium continuously. The device is also designed for installation in compressors, pumps, irrigation units and spray guns, in industrial tanks (to control the amount of liquefied gas), in septic tanks (to track occupancy), on borehole pumps. One of the purposes of the device is to identify a critical level in the system.

At facilities, level meters are used for commercial accounting of the amount of liquid media.

The principle of operation

The principle of operation of the devices is based on knowledge of Pascal's law: the pressure force of a column of liquid on a special sensor element of the device is measured, the parameters of the density of the substance and atmospheric pressure above the surface are also taken into account. There is no dependence on the shape of the container or the volume of the tank in the calculations. At the output, the device transmits an analog signal corresponding to the level of the working environment.

Types of devices

The classification divides the level gauges by design and method of application. You can buy a hydrostatic level sensor in two versions:

• The submersible model consists of two blocks connected by a compensating cable conductor. The submersible probe is the measuring part. The device is indispensable for use in wells and boreholes, pressure-free reservoirs, reservoirs, open containers. The materials for manufacturing device components are different: polymer resources, steel, ceramics, Teflon or PVC.
• The plug–in sensor is a model for mounting in a horizontal plane to the tank wall, has an open end membrane. According to the method of operation, the products are divided into contact and contactless.

Scope of application

Plug–in or submersible hydrostatic level sensors are multifunctional devices optimized for measuring processes in liquids.

The scope of application affects several industries and the national economy:

• Oil and gas industry.
• Chemical industry.
• The pharmaceutical industry.
• Mining and metallurgy.
• Environmental control.
• The national economy.

Any direction where it is important to carry out quantitative measurement and assessment of the level of the liquid medium is considered to be the scope of application of the devices. At many facilities, it is impossible to do without control and measuring manipulations.
