Liquid Level Sensors
Non-contact ultrasonic level measurement is ideal for simple standard applications, both for liquids and for solids.
Measuring principle of ultrasonic level measurement
The ultrasonic sensor emits ultrasonic pulses in the direction of the medium, which then reflects them back.
The elapsed time from emission to reception of the signals is proportional to the level in the tank.
The elapsed time from emission to reception of the signals is proportional to the level in the tank.
The advantages of ultrasonic level measurement
The non-contact measurement with ultrasonic sensors is independent of product properties and provides for maintenance-free operation.
VEGASON 61
Application area
The VEGASON 61 is an ultrasonic sensor for continuous level measurement of liquids or bulk solids. Typical applications are the measurement of liquids in storage tanks or open basins. The sensor is also suitable for the detection of bulk solids in small vessels or open containers. The non-contact measuring principle is independent of product features and allows a setup without medium.
Advantages
- Non-contact measurement
- Reliable measurement independent of product features
- Price-favourable solution for simple applications
