The need to measure liquids has become immense as the production capacity of factories has not only doubled, it has multiplied. Factories now need to procure the necessary liquids in bulk to meet their demands of the production targets. Since meeting deadlines has also become necessary, there is no room for a backlog or any delays pertaining to the production process. Hence the need for a bigger storage area has become indispensible and now factories span over a large area.

Since the use of chemicals has increased during the production process, there are many sensitive liquids being used in the factories now. Storing such a high quantity of the sensitive liquids requires special permission from the government because it can pose a great threat to the surroundings and most importantly, to the people working around it. Hence these liquids are stored in the single skinned containers and since the single skinned containers do not have any opening other than the inlet and outlet, the best way to measure them is with the ultrasonic liquid level detector.

To manage a perfect production process without any glitches and hiccups, the best strategy is to have all the necessary materials ready to be used. As the production targets are not just a few dozen but in thousands, the materials required for it are also in the greatest quantity imaginable. Think how much liquid is required to fill one thousand bottles each containing more than a gallon. And this is the production target of just a single shift in a day and each day a factory runs at least three shifts.

Consider the size of the tank holding all that liquid in it waiting to be emptied in bottles and once the last drop runs out of it, it would be refilled and the process would start again. Today the strategy is to refill the tank without running the last drop out of it. Once the last drop runs out, the refilling process of such a huge tank would take hours and it would be a waste of precious time.

In order to keep the filling process continuous, the liquid’s level is monitored on the liquid level indicator and as the levels are reported low, the taps are turned on and the pumps are started to refill the huge tank. Refilling is a responsible task because there is every chance the tank can overflow resulting in a loss of the precious liquid. Hence a person continuously keeps a watch on the liquid level indicator and turns off the pumps just in time to prevent the overflow.
