Their area of application covers a wide range of industries. In particular, they are known for their accuracy, resistance to foam and viscosity of the medium and for being cost-effective and maintenance-free. A major advantage of float switches is the possibility to integrate up to four switch points in one single instrument. This flexibility makes them an ideal solution for complex applications in which multiple monitoring points are required. Additionally, even temperature probes such as Pt100 can be housed inside the guide tube of the float switch to simultaneously measure the process temperature.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\n      <div class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width:396px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-51055\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/en\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/18\/files\/2023\/12\/tls-3.jpg\" alt=\"Vibrating level switch\" width=\"388\" height=\"203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/en\/files\/2023\/12\/tls-3.jpg 388w, https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/en\/files\/2023\/12\/tls-3-287x150.jpg 287w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 388px) 100vw, 388px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vibrating level switch: Compact limit level detection in every position<\/p><\/div>\n    <br \/>\n<strong><span>Vibrating level switches <\/span><\/strong>offer a compact design that is especially suited for the monitoring of limit levels inside pipelines. An outstanding benefit is the independence from the mounting position. This facilitates their installation and adjustment to different applications. Vibrating level switches are particularly popular for the dry-run monitoring of pumps as they can be easily integrated into different systems due to their compact size and versatility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Conclusion \u2013 Use of level limit switches<\/h2>\n<p>By introducing vibrating level switches, the world of level measurement at WIKA has become even more versatile \u2013 especially when it comes to level limit switches. Float switches, however, remain a trusted and accurate option for applications requiring a precise monitoring and control of liquids. Vibrating level switches will primarily be used in the field of pipeline monitoring.<\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Note<\/strong><br \/>\nFurther information on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-en\/float_switches.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">float switches<\/a> or our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-en\/vibrating_level_switches.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">vibrating level switches<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-en\/tls_s.wika\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">TLS-S<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-en\/tls_c.wika\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">TLS-C<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-en\/tls_h.wika\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">TLS-H<\/a> can be found on the WIKA website.
