Ultrasonic Level

Ultrasonic Level

Ultrasonic level sensors are non-contact instruments that measure the level of liquids or solids by emitting high-frequency sound waves and timing their return after reflecting off the material surface. The sensor calculates the distance to the target based on the time delay, allowing it to determine the material level within a tank, silo, or vessel.

These sensors are popular in process control due to their accuracy, reliability, and ease of installation. As they operate without direct contact with the measured media, they are ideal for applications involving corrosive, sticky, or hazardous substances. Ultrasonic sensors require minimal maintenance and are not affected by fluid density, dielectric properties, or conductivity.

Typical applications span across water and wastewater treatment, chemical processing, food and beverage, agriculture, and bulk material handling. They are commonly used for monitoring tank levels, open channel flow, and silo contents, especially in non-pressurized and atmospheric vessels.

Ultrasonic level sensors offer a cost-effective and efficient solution for continuous level measurement. Their ability to operate in a wide range of temperatures and environments, along with user-friendly configuration and integration capabilities, makes them a versatile choice for general industry applications.
