CLOs covered
• Non-magnetic material
with a magnetic gauge
Float sensors
Direct level sensing- Float sensors
• Cheap, easy to install
• Independent of liquid/solid density
• Accurate and robust and have linear output
• Can be used for liquids and free flowing solids
• BUT
• Material accumulation on the float,
• Corrosion /chemical reaction
• Friction of the pulley
• Turbulent systems
Direct level sensing
• Ultrasonics sensing
• Single point sensing or
continuous level monitoring
• A pulse of sonic waves approx.
(10kHz) or ultrasonic (more
than 20kHZ is used.
We will continue with the Level sensors and cover election criteria of Level
sensors as well.
