To a lot of people, measuring the
liquids in a factory seems like the easiest job and the least important
job. Little do they know that without proper management of the liquids
inside a factory, the entire production system would collapse and there
would be nothing to gain from it. As a daily production target from
scratch to pack consists of thousands of items, one can only imagine how
fast the raw materials are consumed and how important it becomes to
keep their consumption under control and within the limit. This is where
managing the liquids in a factory becomes an indispensible job and
there is no denying to the fact that one needs to have the
liquid level indicator attached to every tank and container.
The
factories of today are completely changed from what they used to be in
the past. Today’s factories are cleaner, faster, efficient and a hundred
times more productive. But at the same time these factories have become
a hub of massive consumption of raw materials and liquids. Today’s
factories are spread over many acres of land. A factory covers an area
which is easily measured in miles all because of the new design and the
consumption of its raw materials. Every factory has a storage area where
the raw materials which are procured in bulk are stored. The solid raw
materials are stacked one over the other in a systematic way and the
powdered materials and liquids are stored in a separate and specifically
built storage tanks and containers.
In some cases there is a
great use of sensitive liquids such as powerful acids and cyanides. In
such a case the liquid storage tanks are single skinned containers which
are installed in a separate area to avoid any misuse of the liquids.
The single skinned containers can be pretty hard to measure and the best
tool to measure them is the
ultrasonic level indicator.
With the help of this measuring device the staff is able to know about
the liquid levels inside these containers. The ultrasonic device is a
harmless tool which can easily measure through the walls of the
container by sending ultrasonic pulse. The pulse is actually a set of
waves which penetrate the walls and touch the level of the liquid.
Through these waves the device is able to measure the quantity of
liquids inside the containers and the person assigned to measure these
tanks can note down the liquid level.
