Exploring The Secrets Of Ultrasonic Liquid Level Gauge: Advantages And Limitations, Please Choose With Caution

Mar 05, 2024|

When it comes to Level measuring instruments, besides radar level gauges, is the first thing that comes to your mind is ultrasonic liquid level gauge? In the past two years, more and more users have begun to pay attention to ultrasonic liquid level gauge. This is because it has many advantages in terms of stability and effect in measurement, and is loved and trusted by users. However, did you know that ultrasonic level meters are subject to some restrictions during the measurement process. If you do not understand these conditions, it is very likely that you will not be able to achieve the ideal measurement results. Today we will take a look at what conditions will affect the measurement results of ultrasonic level meter.

The digitech ultrasonic tank level meter transmits the pulses emitted by the ultrasonic transducer to the surface of the measured object. After reflection, it is transmitted back to the receiving transducer. According to the propagation speed of sound in the sound transmission medium, the distance to the surface of the object is calculated to determine the distance of the object. Bit. The transducer of ultrasonic liquid level gauge has strong emitting force, and the surface can be cleaned automatically. The use of advanced transducer structure and manufacturing technology can improve its working performance. Microprocessor program control and intelligent signal processing technology enable ultrasonic level meters to adapt to various typical working conditions and be applied to measurements in complex environments such as solids, liquids, and dust. It can not only be used for the measurement of material level, space and distance, but also can be used for automatic material level-volume conversion of standard or special switch tanks. In addition, ultrasonic technology is simple and economical and generally does not require moving parts, so installation and maintenance are relatively convenient. Ultrasonic level meters are widely used in petroleum, mining, power plants, chemical plants, water treatment plants, sewage treatment stations, agricultural water use, environmental monitoring, food and other industries.

 

However, although ultrasonic liquid level gauge has many advantages, it is also limited by some conditions that will affect its measurement results. First of all, digitech ultrasonic tank level meters are generally not suitable for media with large temperature change spans and large liquid level fluctuations. Secondly, since the propagation of ultrasonic waves requires the help of a medium, the ultrasonic liquid level meter cannot be used in a vacuum environment. In addition, steam and dust will hinder the sound wave conduction of the ultrasonic level meter to a certain extent, thus affecting the measurement effect. Therefore, ultrasonic level meters cannot be used in the presence of large amounts of steam and dust. If you want to measure corrosive media, you need to use an ultrasonic level meter with an anti-corrosion probe.

 

In short, ultrasonic liquid level gauge is a high-quality level measurement instrument, but the above conditions need to be taken into consideration when selecting and applying it to ensure the ideal measurement effect.
