INTRODUCTION
The ultrasonic level Indicator is a low-cost, non-
20.046
contact and easy-to-install measurement device. It
is able to meet the every-day needs of commercial
production, as well serving a more specialized role
in the technologically-advanced aero-space B
industry, thus placing it firmly in the category of D
high-level measurement technology. Unlike other
level indicators with limited uses, the easy-to-install
ultrasonic level indicator is a highly-accurate
device with enough specialized uses to ensure that F
the needs of the customer are met.
THEORY L
The principle of operation of the ultrasonic sensor
system is to use the ultrasonic pulses which are
transmitted by the transducer to the surface to be
monitored and are reflected back to the transducer,
the time period between transmission and reception
of the sound pulses is directly proportional to the
distance between the transducer and surface, A B = Blanking distance
micro-controller computes this time period for all
echoes received and analyses them to determine D = Distance from transducer
which is the correct reflection from the material to material surface
surface, it uses this data as the basis for giving
L = Height in silo
control outputs and displays in usable engineering
units. The distance D is determined from the velocity
of sound v and the time period t by the formula:
D = v.t /2
Example:
With the velocity of sound v = 334.1 M/s, a time
period of 60m/s corresponds to a transmission path
of 20.046M and thus to a distance of 10.023M.
