Type of Level Sensor for High Temperature Solids

To measure bulk solids at high temperatures of up to +500 degree Celsius, an empty adjustment is of utmost necessity. However, the selection process of a sensor for high temperature solids is a bit complex. It is because the sensor should possess high flexibility through the probe. Moreover, it should have a long lifetime along with low maintenance requirement. While opting for a level sensor for a solid substance, it should come with a protection rating. So let’s assess the types of level sensor for solids.

Optical level sensors for solids

One of the main advantages of using these types of level switches is that they are compact. Optical level sensors for high temperature solids are typically used in leak detection. Moreover, they can also be used for tank level measurement. The mechanism of optical level sensors is quite lucid and easy to comprehend. The sensor comprises of an LED and a photo-transistor. As it is a solid-state device, this sensor is an apt choice for an array of point level sensing applications.  

Ultrasonic sensors for solids

It is that kind of a level sensor for solids which is not affected by media properties. One of the primary applications of this sensor is with viscous and bulk solids. These sensors are also used in those systems which require remote-based assessment. They usually function by calculating the time-period and strength of the high-frequency sound waves. As they operate on the notion of ultrasonic waves, the way they are mounted is quite important.              

Flat switch sensors

Float switch sensors for solid substances are relatively inexpensive. This is the reason they are most commonly used in small-sized industrial plants. Though they are primarily used for tank level applications, one can also use them for solid point measurement. It is one of those sensors which have a simplistic design. This type of sensor comes with both horizontal and vertical mounting options. This type of sensor also comes with a magnet for secure housing.  

Microwave sensors for solids

This level sensor for solids is renders accurate results and is fairly easy to operate. It is because there is no use of any calibration in this type of sensor. One of the highlighting traits of using this sensor is that you can use it in a varying temperature environment. This sensor depends heavily on the di-electric nature of the solids.  

Being established in 1983, Sapcon has solidified its position with reputation. They are a familiar name in the realm of automation instruments. They also have a worldwide partner network.

Use of Vibrating Rod Type Level Sensor for Solids

A vibrating rod is a single element type level sensing device. The piezoelectric elements like the quartz present inside the tuning rod makes it’s vibrate. This vibration causes the resonance frequency in the free air. The vibrating rod type level sensor is usually deployed for free flowing powders and solid granules. They can either be side mounted or top mounted. Interestingly, solid level sensors can work at a processing temperature of 200 degrees.    

Level Sensors Can Be Used For Level Detection

One of the main objectives of using a level sensor is for detection of the level of the contents. Unlike to the popular belief, these sensors can be installed in various places. In other words, the ideal position for instalment depends on the application. One can also use these sensors to secure the tank against overfilling. It is worthwhile to mention that a level sensor can also be used for sensing the level of solid granules.

Helps To Address Hygiene

A plethora of industries face strict regulations to comply with the highest standards of hygiene. Hence, it is a good choice to opt for a level sensor which carries a 3A certification. A solid level sensor should also be EHEDG certified. In this manner, these types of level sensors are compliant to FDA standards. These sensors also allow you to address compliance issues. You can emphasise a great deal on cleanliness and safety of the contents of the vessel.

Prevents Running A Pipe When It Is Empty

With the help of a level sensor one can detect whether there are contents in the pipe or not. By now you must be wondering about the purpose of installing a level sensor in a pipe. Well, a level sensor is usually installed in a pipeline to ensure that it doesn’t run empty. There are various applications where an empty running pipe can give rise to serious complications.

Facilitates Level Measurement of Pressure Tanks

Pressure tanks are an integral part of any industrial plant. The last thing an operator wants is to overfill the pressure tank. Overfilling the pressure tank can have serious repercussions on the safety of the workers. When a level sensor is placed in the tank consisting of granules, it facilitates reliable measurement. This is because a level senor comes with proprietary coil impedance detection.

Sapcon is one of the very few process automation companies which have a client base of more than 8000. This sheer number denotes their dedication in the manufacturing of level sensing technologies.

The Principles and Types of Level Switch Vibration

A level switch vibration type is ideal for point level assessment. Moreover, the vibration type level switch is an apt choice when it comes to detect the levels of granulated materials. The working principle of the vibration type level switch is based upon detecting the alterations in the harmonic frequency. In other words, when the sensor detects the presence of the target media, it gives rise to harmonic frequency. They are also used as overfill protection devices.

Working Principle Of The Vibration Type Level Switch

The working principle of the level switch vibration type is entirely based on resonance frequency. In usual conditions, the edge of the tip wavers at its natural frequency. When the switch comes in contact with the contents, it stops the vibration. When the vibration halts, the frequency also changes. This change in frequency can be gauged by sensors. On the other hand, when the liquid level subsidizes, the blade again oscillates at its natural frequency.    

Vibration type level sensors comprise of highly sensitive areas at their rod tip only. Nowadays, there are compact vibration level switches. These can facilitate measurement even in small and compact containers. These sensors are usually constructed with steel which facilitates deploying them in tough operational situations. The resonance frequency of the switch is caused by piezoelectric elements. Note that the signal is processed as a relay output in the form of N.O or N.C.    

Types Of Level Switch Vibration

Usually, there are two types of liquid level switches. They are the point level detectors and variation level detectors. It is important to note here that point level switches have to be mounted. It is because the sensing tip should come in contact with the fluid. They are simpler to set up and can be easily calibrated. In case of level switch vibration type; there is no need for conditioning the additional signal.

Features Of The Vibration Type Level Switch

Here is the list of the features of the vibration type level switch.

Only the vibrating blade’s tip is sensitive. The base is immune to any kind of sensitivity

The switch rotates in such a manner that it requires zero maintenance

Vibration type level switch facilitates maximum versatility

It is unaffected by the alterations of the environment
