Hydrostatic level sensors (also referred to as submersible pressure transmitter) are very often installed in outdoor applications, primarily in the water and wastewater industries, where open bodies of water, deep wells or boreholes are monitored. A good connection to …
Hydrostatic level measurement
How does lightning protection in hydrostatic level sensors work
| Enrico Bossart | Know-howMany customer wonder why hydrostatic level sensors fail due to lightning strikes, even if they ordered a level sensor with integrated lightning protection. Understanding how the lightning protection works and how lightning strikes affect hydrostatic level sensors is …
How to prevent the ingress of moisture through the cable of submersible pressure transmitters and level probes?
| Enrico Bossart | Know-howIf you want to measure the level of a liquid easily and reliably, most people will do this using hydrostatic pressure measurement, e.g. with a submersible pressure transmitter or a so called level probe. The characteristic submersed application implicates a maximum …
Grounding of submersible pressure transmitter or level probes prevents corrosion
| Enrico Bossart | Know-howIn industrial applications, the corrosion of pressure sensors is a rather negligible phenomenon, since in the majority of applications, oils (in particular hydraulic oils) are used, and contact with the pressure medium is mainly limited to the pressure channel and the …
Cleaning of submersible pressure transmitters or level probes
| Enrico Bossart | Know-howIf the specific pressure sensor design of the submersible pressure transmitter or level probe is selected to measure the filling levels, this often means that the probe is used under environmental requirements which would cause failure of common level sensors. …
