Electronic differential pressure measurement for level monitoring
Bernd Reichert | Know-howDifferential pressure measurement is widely used as a method for monitoring the level of closed vessels. In many cases, operators use individual instruments with an output signal or on-site display. In contrast, a more precise and fault-immune solution is the measuring …
The strain sensor in practical application
Markus Heidl | ForceDrill two holes and cut the threads, prepare the surface, place the strain sensor and tighten both screws to the specified torque, then set the zero point and now the strain measurement can start. If only it were that easy! Of course, the procedure described for …
Level sensors – the agony of choice?
Enrico Bossart | ProductsIf one is looking for a level sensor, one can be quickly overwhelmed by the huge selection. A level sensor for limit level detection or continuous measurement can be ordered in a variety of technologies and design variants. But how do I find the right level sensor for …
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 tanks, wells, shafts and bore holes. For level measurements, the level probe is submersed directly into the medium and …
