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 />

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.
