Ultrasonic sensors are widely used for
measuring liquid levels in tough containers and complex situations.
However when the liquid is foamy or in an uneven situation (ripples or
wavy) the level detection can be a problem because waves would return
with uneven interval. In this situation claiming the
ultrasonic level indicator
as a failure isn’t the right thing to do because there is a solution to
it. By applying the right method, any type of liquid can be measured no
matter in what state or condition it is.
Experts have devised a
way to measure non static water with the ultrasonic level measuring
device effectively. The matter is remedy is really simple; all you have
to do is lower a pipe in the tank until it submerges in the liquid with
an opening big enough to let the transducer to enter it. Now measure
from inside the pipe, this will contract the path of the waves and the
foam and all other elements won’t be bothering the liquid inside the
pipe.
In most situations the liquid storage tanks are placed in
places where there are powerful motors and pumps operating nearby. This
activity makes the entire place to experience a permanent earth quake
and shakes the contents of the liquid storage tanks. In such a situation
the liquid level indicators often fail to give out the perfect results.
The normal indicators break very often because of the vibrations and
they are needed to be replaced very soon which increases the expenses
involuntarily.
When a factory is situated in a small space and
expansion is not an option, there has to be a way to measure even with
the unsuitable conditions. Using the ultrasonic measuring device is
considered to be the best option even when the liquids are sensitive and
especially in an unsafe location. The ultrasonic gadget keeps the
person safe who is trying to take measurements.
Since the
ultrasonic gadget is capable to measure through the walls of the
container, there is no need to open the container’s lid. Simply placing
the transducer on the container’s wall will enable it to detect the
liquid inside the container. Opening the lid is only advised in
situations when the liquid is in an unstable position or there is any
kind of blockage in the container. In reality, an ultrasonic device is
always better than ordinary
liquid level indicators for tanks.
