Measuring Instruments

The flow meter is a device used to measure the volume or mass of a gas or liquid. Flow meters are referred to by many names, such as flow gauge, flow indicator, liquid meter, flow rate sensor, etc. depending on the particular industry.

The Hydro-Probe is a digital moisture sensor that is designed to measure moisture continuously in the flow of material across the ceramic sensor faceplate. Measuring at 25 times per second the sensor detects rapid changes in moisture, providing a linear digital or analogue output.

Vibrating Rod Point Level Switch For Solids utilizes a piezoelectric crystal that vibrates the rod at a natural frequency for level detection of powders and bulk solids.

Level Transmitters are sensors with an electrical transmission output for remote indication of liquid, powder or bulk level reading. Capacitive, float, mechanical, submersible, and ultrasonic models are the different types available of level transmitters.

Vibrating Fork Point Level Switch for Liquids use the piezo-electric-crystals inside the tuning fork, which makes the fork points vibrate at their natural resonance frequency in free air. When fork points are immersed in liquid, the frequency of fork vibration falls due to the density of the liquid.

Vibrating Fork Level Switch For Solids uses a tuning fork-shaped sensing element with two tines (points) inserted into free-flowing solids, granules, and powders, where the target media damps the oscillation of the fork when it comes into contact with the material and oscillation amplitude is lost which is detected and used for switching a relay. The output contacts of the relay are in turn used for annunciation or control.

Rotating Paddle Level Switch is basically a spring-loaded, eccentrically driven rotating vanes or blades which rotate at a very slow rotation of one revolution per minute, using an ac synchronous motor.
