Conductive Level Switches

Conductive Level Switches

Conductive level switches provide accurate and reliable point-level detection based on electrical conductivity. They function by sensing the presence or absence of conductive liquids, completing an electrical circuit when the liquid contacts sensing probes. The probes can be constructed from corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel, titanium, or specialty alloys, ensuring long-term reliability even in demanding industrial environments.

The primary benefit of conductive level switches is their simplicity and effectiveness in detecting liquid levels. With minimal moving parts and straightforward electronic circuitry, they offer durability and minimal maintenance, and their rapid response time makes them well-suited for critical-level monitoring and control, helping to prevent equipment damage and process interruptions due to unexpected liquid level fluctuations.

Industries in which conductive level switches have applications include chemical processing, water and wastewater treatment, food and beverage production, and pharmaceuticals. They are commonly utilized in overflow protection, pump control, leak detection, and ensuring safe and efficient operation of storage tanks and vessels.

In industrial process control, conductive level switches enhance operational safety by reliably monitoring liquid levels and preventing spills or dry-run conditions. They help industries comply with safety and environmental regulations by ensuring precise control and rapid response to changing liquid conditions.
