Float Level Sensor-PP/SS

The float level sensor is a device that detects the liquid level by moving the float up and down. The float has a built-in magnet. When the liquid level changes, the float moves with the rise and fall of the liquid surface.

The sensor senses the change in the float position through a magnetically sensitive element. (such as a Hall effect sensor or a magnetoresistive sensor). And then accurately detects the liquid level. This sensor is widely used in various industrial scenarios. Due to its simple structure, high reliability and strong anti-interference ability.

Introduction of the Float Level Sensor

The float level meter uses a magnetic float as a measuring element. Through magnetic coupling, the resistance in the sensor changes linearly. The intelligent converter converts the resistance change into a 4~20mA standard current signal. The percentage of the liquid level, 4~20mA current and liquid level value can be displayed on site.

The remote transmission to the control room can realize automatic detection, control and record level. The instrument is suitable for sewage treatment in the petroleum, chemical, electric power, light industry and pharmaceutical industries. It adjusts to the measurement of the liquid level of various mediums in normal pressure and pressure vessels. It is especially ideal for the measurement of the liquid level of underground storage tanks and storage tanks.

Applications of the Float Level Sensor

Float level sensors are widely used in multiple industries, mainly including:

Industrial field

  • Chemical industry: used for various chemical storage tanks, reactors, separators and other containers. Real-time monitoring of liquid level, adapting to special environments such as high temperature, high pressure, corrosion, etc.
  • Petroleum industry: monitor the liquid level of storage tanks, pipelines, oil wells and other equipment in oil exploration, oil production, oil storage, oil transportation and other links. Help enterprises improve production efficiency and profits, and show high accuracy and stability in underground liquid level measurement.
  • Food industry: monitor the liquid level of containers such as food raw material tanks and processing equipment during food processing, storage and transportation to avoid waste and loss.
  • Pharmaceutical industry: used for reaction tanks, storage tanks, etc., in the pharmaceutical process to accurately control the liquid level.

Environmental protection field

  • Sewage treatment: In sewage treatment plants, monitor the liquid level of regulating tanks, sedimentation tanks, biochemical tanks and other links to ensure the stability and efficiency of sewage treatment.
  • Water resources management: used to monitor the water level of rivers, lakes and reservoirs, and provide important data support for flood control, drought resistance, water resources scheduling, etc.

Other fields

  • Power industry: monitor water level changes in power boilers to prevent safety accidents caused by abnormal water levels.
  • Aquaculture: monitor the changes in the liquid level of aquaculture pools in real time to provide accurate data for farmers and help to reasonably adjust the water level.
  • Household appliances: such as water dispensers, coffee machines, humidifiers, etc., by monitoring the liquid level of water tanks, automatic water addition, water shortage alarm and other functions can be realized. It can improve the product intelligence level and user experience.

The float liquid level sensor has the characteristics of a simple structure, easy installation and low cost. It plays an important role in the above fields and provides a reliable guarantee for liquid level monitoring and control in various industries.Float Level Sensor

More Detail

How Does a Float Level Sensor Work?

The level meter uses the magnet in the float to change with the liquid level, to change the voltage divider circuit composed of the resistor in the connecting rod and the reed switch. The smaller the gap of the reed switch, the higher the accuracy. The voltage divider signal can be converted into 0/4~20mA or other standard signals through the converter, as shown in the figure below. The indicator can be used with other meters for long-distance indication.Float Level Senor

This product is a contact level measurement. If you want to use non-contact level measurement, please use a radar level meter or an ultrasonic level meter.
