Controlling the flow of liquids is an important task in the factories. The huge storage tanks of the factories are fitted with big pipes which are capable to transfer many gallons at the same time. The gush of the liquids can cause chaos at the other end (in the production area) if the flow is uncontrolled. The huge pressure and the huge quantity of the liquids can cause the taps to burst and flood the area. The huge tanks and containers are capable to store hundreds of gallons of liquids at the same time. Their usefulness can become the biggest cause of destruction if mishandled.

To control the flow and pressure of liquids in the pipes and the tanks a liquid level indicator is used. A special person is assigned to keep the monitors and gauges under constant surveillance. Reports are made every hour to keep a record of the flow and availability of the liquids in the tanks and pipes. These reports are forwarded to the managers of the concerned departments who can also keep track of their usage and the reserve stock in the tanks and storage containers.

Stock of the resources matters the most when it comes to planning the production. The daily, weekly and monthly targets are set according to the reports of the stock. A sudden or unexpected rise or dip is taken as a serious issue and reported to the managers instantly. If the dip is unexpected and unplanned, the store managers are asked about the issuance of more than the agreed quantity. The production managers are also inquired for the excessive use of it. If both ends are cleared and none reports of excessive consuming, it is evident that the tanks or the pipes have sprung a leak. The maintenance department is called in to inspect and report the leak.

With the help of the ultrasonic level indicator the leak is hunted. The unique ability of the ultrasonic device allows the staff to learn about the pin point location of the leak without dismantling the entire setup. Dismantling the entire pipes and tanks can disrupt the entire production process and the costs occurring will be too high to bear. Dismantling could also result in calling some external skilled professionals who will also charge heavily for their services and this would only add insult to the injury.
