Liquid level sensing<br />
A distinction is made between the following methods:<br />
■ Capacitive measuring probes<br />
■ Pressure/differential pressure (hydrostatic)<br />
■ Ultrasound<br />
■ Tank weighing systems<br />
■ Electromechanical sensing<br />
Atmospheric<br />

variable<br />
Pressure measurement:<br />
The pressure is defined by the height of the liquid<br />
medium, measured from the sensor to the<br />
surface of the liquid. There are no critical factors<br />
to consider when installing the pressure sensor.<br />
The sensor material must be suitable for use<br />
with the liquid medium.<br />
Bubble technique:<br />
The pressure measurement is determined by the<br />
height of the liquid above the bubble-tube<br />
outlet.
