How does one specify the switch point of a float switch?

02/02/2018 | Enrico Bossart
a float switch

In the specification of the switch points of a float switch, misunderstandings always lead to unsuitable product designs. How one correctly specifies the switch point of a float switch will be explained here. The basic prerequisite for the correct specification …

Float switch: What is it and how does it actually work?

11/15/2017 | Enrico Bossart
Picture of a float switch

Float switches are simple, universally applicable and exceptionally reliable. It is not a coincidence that, today, float switches still represent the most frequently used principle for level monitoring. But how does a float switch actually work? Float switches, in …

Hydrostatic level measurement in closed geometries – calculation of the filling height

02/26/2013 | Enrico Bossart
hydrostatic level measurement in closed geometries

In a previous blog post, I explained the calculation of the filling height in open geometries and vessels . Unlike open vessels, the calculation of level in closed geometries, such as gas-tight tanks or pressurised vessels, requires a compensation of the pressure of …

Hydrostatic level measurement in open geometries and vessels – calculation of the filling height

01/07/2013 | Enrico Bossart
hydrostatic level measurement in open geometries

In my last blog post, I introduced the way in which hydrostatic level measurement works . The hydrostatic pressure is used to determine the level through the measurement of the liquid column and is directly proportional to the filling height, as well as to the density …
