One of the biggest challenges a factory or a manufacturing plant faces is the management of liquids and gases it holds. The huge cylinders installed in the factory that hold a huge amount of gas need to be monitored every hour to note its consumption and also be aware of the quantity that will be available for the next day. Using the preinstalled liquid level indicator on the small cylinders, the staff can monitor the gas consumption and the liquid consumption effectively. But when it comes to monitor the bigger and considerably huge cylinders, the liquid level indicator cannot be used and the only reliable source of measuring becomes the ultrasonic level indicator.

Using the normal liquid level indicators for measuring is limited to small cylinders and containers and they cannot be used on the large ones. In some factories the liquid holding containers are so massive that they cannot be placed inside the factory’s premises near the assembly lines. Placing them near the place where there is a huge number of people present can cause a great security threat to the staff. To provide safety to the people who are working in the factories, these huge containers are moved to a far area within the factory’s land so that in case of a leakage or any other cause, the people would not be harmed and there would be enough time to let the people out.

One of the biggest challenges faced by the staff is to measure the huge containers. Since they are huge in size and can contain hundreds of gallons, attaching a permanent measuring tool to them is not a possibility because the pressure that will be exerted on the measuring tool will cause it to break, malfunction or even create a leak where it is attached. Hence the other option remains to measure it manually or use the ultrasonic level indicator. Using the ultrasonic device the staff can measure the container from any angel they think will provide accurate results. With the ultrasonic device the chances of risk are lowered immensely but the chances of providing accurate liquid levels is not decreased. In the attempt to provide safety to the employees and to get accurate liquid levels, the use of ultrasonic level indicator has grown immensely. Rarely would there be a factory present today that does not have the ultrasonic device to measure its containers and cylinders.
