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.
