Monitoring the fluid levels is not just a routine task but it is one of the most important tasks of all. While the fluids are used for keeping the machinery under a specific heat level, lower fluid levels can result in extreme rise of temperature and would harm the machines. There are many different kinds of machines which either use fluids as coolants while the others are also using gases. To provide them the coolants cylinders are filled with the coolants and installed in the places where they can supply the required amount to the machines and keep their temperatures to the required levels.
These cylinders need to be monitored every now and then to make sure they are filled enough to keep supplying the coolants to the machines. The cylinders as we know are made of metal just like a fire extinguisher and with an outlet on the top. In some cases the cylinders have a built on needle gauge to tell the amount of coolants inside. But most of these cylinders do not have any gauges because they can be easily measured with the
ultrasonic level indicator. The ultrasonic measurement device allows the person taking measurements to learn about the exact level of coolant inside the cylinders.
Some people think that using the ultrasonic device for measurement is a very tough thing to do. Since it is a digital machine, many people assume that the readings on it are in alien terms and they would be trapped by using it. Also its method of taking measurements is different than the normal gauges. If you want to take reading of any cylinder, here the steps you need to follow:
- Take the kit out of its box, assemble it and be sure to use fully charged batteries because uncharged batteries can create problems.
- Now approach the cylinder you wish to measure and start from the top of it.
- You will need to place the transducer to the wall of the cylinder and notice the readings on the LCD of the device
- Now take a step down and then note the changes
- Follow this until you reach the point where all the lights become active. This is your liquid level in the container.
- To confirm that you have taken the exact readings go a bit up and down and when you return to the point and it again shows full lights, it is your exact liquid level.
This method takes only 30 seconds to complete and you now can forget about every other
liquid level indicator.
