LEVEL SENSORS

ANIMESH BOSU- ETO FACULTY


INTRODUCTIONS

 Level measurement transmitter is an instrument providing


continuous level measurement.
 It can be used to determine the level of liquid or bulk-solid at a
particular time.
 Levels of media such as water, viscous fluids, and fuels, or dry
media such as bulk solids and powders can be measured using the
transmitter.
How Does it Work?

 Level measurement is the process of measuring the height


of a liquid or solid material in a container, such as a tank,
silo, or reservoir
 It is usually expressed in meters or feet, or as a percentage
Ultrasonic Level Transmitter

 In this type of transmitter, an ultrasonic transducer is


mounted at, or near the top of a container containing
liquid.
 The transducer sends out an ultrasonic pulse.
 The pulse hits the surface of the liquid, and gets reflected
 The sensor then calculates the fill level based on the time
between the transmitted and received signal.
Ultrasonic Level Transmitter
Capacitance Level Transmitters

 These transmitters use liquid stored in a tank or container


as a dielectric medium between two or more electrodes.
 The energy capacity of the capacitor circuit increases
when there is more liquid, and decreases if there is less
liquid
 By measuring the variations in the capacitance value,
capacitance level transmitters can calculate the current fill
level of the tank or container.
Capacitance Level Transmitters
Float Level Switches

 All float operated liquid level controls operate on the basic


buoyancy principle which states "the buoyancy force
action on an object is equal to the mass of liquid displaced
by the object."
 As a result, floats ride on the liquid surface partially
submerged and move the same distance the liquid level
moves.
Float Level Switches
Magnetic Level Transmitters
 These transmitters use a magnetic object, which is suspended in a
buoyant float.
 While the float is on top of the liquid, the movement of the float is
measured by a different magnetic device. This allows a precise and
stable fill level to be transmitted.
Radar Fill Level Transmitters

 These transmitters work on the principle of a radar by using radio


wave emissions.
 These transmitters are normally mounted at the top of a tank filled
with a liquid.
 The transmitter sends a radar signal into the liquid, and receives a
reflection of the signal.
 The transmitters then analyze the current fill level of the tank based
on the time taken by the transmitted signal to return.
