When considering a new level sensor for level measurement applications, it is often hard to find information on how the different types of level sensors, like the hydrostatic level sensors respectively hydrostatic pressure sensors, are working. Recently, I explained …
Hydrostatic
What is meant by hydrostatic level measurement or hydrostatic pressure?
| Enrico Bossart | LevelHydrostatic pressure sensors are gaining in popularity within continuous level measurement through their simple application, quick installation and commissioning. However, how does hydrostatic level measurement work, what is meant by hydrostatic pressure and how can I …
Fields of application for pressure sensors 1 – vented gauge pressure sensors vs. absolute pressure sensors
| Stefan Heusel | PressureThe user is often faced with the question: What kind of pressure sensor should I use - a relative/gauge or an absolute pressure sensor? From food processing to petrochemical plants, to plastic injection moulding and many other industrial applications, pressure …
Level measurement in ground water
| Sabine Mai | LevelThe recovery of drinking water from ground water has top priority in many countries. In Germany, this method has a share of about 70 per cent in the water supply. The water drawn from depths of several hundred of meters below the earth’s surface is normally in …
What exactly is a level probe / submersible pressure transmitter?
| Sabine Mai | LevelThe submersible pressure transmitter, sometimes also referred to as a level probe, is a special type of pressure sensor used for level measurements in e.g. tanks, wells, shafts and bore holes. For level measurements, the level probe is submersed directly into the …
