Different Industrial Uses of Ultrasonic Level Indicator
For ensuring the smooth and flawless
industrial operations and performance liquid level indicators are used.
Due to their ability to monitor, they ensure the control over the level
of liquids in gigantic containers, repositories, and pipelines in
various industrial plants.
It is often not possible and safe to
measure the liquid level in the giant containers or vessels or to take a
view of the interior of the huge sized tanks or repositories; therefore
liquid level indicators are used. There are two different methods to
measure the liquid level indicators point level measurement and
continuous level measurement. Either of this method is used for ensuring
safety standards and maintenance of quality. There are multiple
industrial applications of these liquid level indicator methods in
different industries. Some of them include the following;
In food and beverage industry:
for the maintenance of the company’s reputation and quality standards
in the beverage industry, it is vital to maintain smooth and consistent
taste of the products. To achieve this aim, different kinds of level
sensors are used for milk, beer, wine or other ingredients tank gauging.
Other kinds of food factories such as chocolate factories, biscuit
factories, candy or sweet making factories and other similar kind of
factories make use of ultrasonic level indicators for the maintenance of their standard quality.
In petrochemical plants: it
has very important function in the petrochemical plants. The tank
gauging of the highly volatile and caustic acids is necessary for
ensuring highest safety and protection against any kind of explosions or
to prevent any accidents. To achieve this aim, mostly non contact
liquid indicators such as ultrasonic level indicators, are used. Because
they can be easily operated and controlled from a distance ensuring
safety.
In sub-marines: the sub marines extensively make
use of liquid level indicators for the indication of extinguisher levels
in the multi bank cylinder rows. Besides, ultrasonic level indicators
are also used to check any type of leakages or cracks in the hatch
covers of ships and cargo's. They ensure safety of not only the ship and
goods but also the safety of the ship crew on board.
In fire extinguisher department:
for carrying out the functions of the fire extinguisher department,
liquid level indicators are vital gadgets. The cylinders used by the
fire extinguisher department contain cooling agents which extinguish the
fire. The function of the liquid level indicators is to maintain the
standard quality of the cooling agents in the cylinders so that they
properly work in case of any emergency situation.
For keeping check on water reservoirs:
it is important to keep a constant and continuous check over the water
reservoirs for their smart and intelligent usage for different
functions. The detection of the water level in huge water reservoirs
such as dams is done through liquid level indicators.
They control the water level which is utilized for creating electricity
or for supplying water to the rural areas or for any other purpose.
This
simple technique and device has multitude of uses and functions in
different types of industries. It provides a simple and trouble free
control for smooth functioning of different industrial operations.
