Hydrostatic level measurement

Grounding of hydrostatic level sensors

Enrico Bossart | Know-how
3D grounding sign

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 …

How to prevent the ingress of moisture through the cable of submersible pressure transmitters and level probes?

Enrico Bossart | Know-how
Cable wires of submersible pressure transmitter_WIKA

If 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-how
corrosion at level probes

In 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-how
comparison stainless steel diaphragms

If 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.  …
