If there is any factor on this planet that relies totally on liquids it is the chemicals factory. Preparing different types of liquid, solid and gaseous chemicals, the main ingredient in the entire process is the liquids. Chemicals are being used massively in a lot of factories for various purposes such as cleaning, polishing and manufacturing. So undeniably the chemical producing factories are very important and they are very busy. The chemical factories look more like a huge jumble of storage tanks of all sizes and pipes. Since they are mixed in huge mixers that are no less than a jumbo sized storage tank, the produce is the transferred to the other storage tanks.

Maintaining a balanced flow of the liquid chemicals and gas chemicals is a huge process in these factories. Since many chemicals are being produced at the same time, it is essential to maintain a good distance to avoid a blast. The different chemicals can react and blow up so you will rarely have a chance to step inside a chemical factory because of the safety reasons unless you are one of their employee or an owner. To measure the liquids and monitor their flow from one tank to another, the liquid level indicator is used as the primary source.

The staff can read about the liquid level in one tank from the indicator and then measure the reading on the other tank in which the liquid is being transferred. It helps in monitoring a smooth flow and make sure that nothing is leaking out during the transfer process. In case the reading of the main tank has a reading which does not match the reading on the tank where the liquid is being transferred, the matter is serious as there is a leakage going on somewhere. The process would be stopped immediately and the leak would be hunted out. It can be the pipe that is leading from the main tank to the other, or it can also be the tank which is on the receiving end.

The best tool to measure the gases is the ultrasonic level indicator. Since gases are lighter than liquids, the ordinary indicator would not be able to read the level. That is why the ultrasonic indicator is the best tool to identify the presence and the movement of gas from one container to another. Since the amount of these chemicals is in huge quantities, negligence in any case cannot be tolerated. This is why the chemical factory looks like a maze of tanks, pipes and indicators wherever you go.
