Manufacturing quality products is
becoming a global issue among manufacturers. In an attempt to keep the
manufacturing costs as minimum as possible, a lot of research is being
conducted in factories. Special consultants are being hired to advice on
cost control and increase revenues at the same time. The use of a
liquid level indicator is increasing rapidly. With its ability to
provide a measurement of all the liquids being added in the mixture, it
has managed to reduce wastage of liquid materials in the factories.
The waste of factories in a single country adds up to a million dollars annually. In order to control
these wastes the use of modern technology is being promoted. Various
kinds of liquids are being used in factories on a large scale. The
storage tanks are huge enough to store hundreds and even thousands of
gallons of liquids at a single time. Liquids such as petrol, diesel,
kerosene, cyanide, perklone and many more have become the core
ingredients in manufacturing process. These highly volatile and
flammable liquids need special care when being stored.
There are
many incidents in the past where a factory caught fire that spread all
over and reduced the entire building to ashes. Many precious lives have
been lost in such incidents and the monetary loss is simply in huge
figures. The reason of all these incidents was mishandled sensitive
liquids. These liquids are needed to be kept in controlled environments
where the temperatures do not exceed the limits. Leaks are needed to be
handled to control liquid waste and wipe out the possibility of fire.
In many cases, the spill of these liquids has done enough harm. The
liquid level indicators
that are fixed to the tanks for many years can go wrong without any
indication. They often get stuck and malfunction in a way that shows the
level of liquids to be in perfect place. But in reality it is not and
when refilling the storage tanks, due to the malfunctioning indicator,
over filling is observed and a lot of liquid is spilled on the floor.
These incidents have raised concerns and gave birth to another device that has created a revolution in liquid handling. The
ultrasonic level indicator
is the device that has enabled the staff of the factories to check if
their installed indicators are working correctly. Its ability to measure
through the tank’s walls has provided the needed safety to the staff
when measuring highly sensitive liquids. Its use has ultimately
controlled a lot of waste of liquids hence money.
