The Benefits of Compact Radar Level Measurement in Off-Road Machinery
Jeff Placek | Know-how, LevelCompact radar level sensors offer important performance and reliability advantages over traditional float, magnetic float, and reed-chain technologies in harsh off-road applications. Because float-based systems rely on moving mechanical parts, they can stick, wear, …
Measuring and Monitoring the Fluid Level in Production Storage Tanks
Jeff Placek | Applications, LevelUpstream production sites rely on enclosed vessels to temporarily hold crude oil, produced water, and gas condensate after phase separation. WIKA offers a variety of instruments for measuring and controlling level in production storage tanks. The effluent that’s …
Beam Load Cells: Smart Ways to Measure Weight (and Level) in Industrial Applications
Jonathan Bey | Force, Know-howA bending beam or sheer beam load cell determines weight indirectly by measuring the deformation of its strain gauge or thin-film sensor. These force transducers are a smart – and often the only – way to measure load in industrial applications. There …
Sensors and Gauges for Water Tower Monitoring
Chad Reinhard | Applications, Level, Pressure, TemperatureThis article is a continuation of Pressure; Getting Water to Where It Needs to Go . Whether elevated or underground, water delivery systems work at their best when operators continually monitor the water’s pressure, level, and temperature. Structural health is …
