Liquid-level sensing is used in consumer electronics appliances like washing machines to detect the detergent level. The sensor technolo­gy has progressed to such an extent that refrigerators can now ...

In Part 1 of this article, we explained popular liquid-level sensing methods and their limitations. We also delved into why capacitive-sensing techniques are superior to traditional methods used for ...

The new SmartLevel sensors from Balluff provide accurate level detection in demanding applications where extensive foaming, filming, and material build-up are present. Capacitive sensors are used for ...

Baumer has created a capacitance-based level detector for water-based liquids. “Capacitive sensing technology offers advantages, especially on applications involving aggressive liquids, food or ...

The Dinel DLS-35 series of capacitive level sensors are designed for use with liquids and bulk solids. Models for operation in standard, high temperature, mining and explosive environments are ...

If you’re the person tasked with controlling the level of fly ash in collection hoppers, you know how difficult the application can be. What at first looks like a simple measurement quickly proves to ...

Liquid level measurement technologies form a pivotal component in modern industrial, environmental and agricultural applications. These systems range from optical and capacitive methods to ultrasonic ...

The need for accurate and reliable level measurement systems is increased by the demands of advanced automated processing systems, more stringent process control and strict regulatory requirements. By ...

Proximity sensors detect objects without physical contact. Most proximity sensors emit an electromagnetic field or beam and look for changes in the field. The object being sensed is called a target.

Drive process engineers require more reliable and precise level measurement systems because of the needs of sophisticated automated processing systems, an increasingly stringent regulatory environment ...
