The increase in competition all over the planet has brought many changes in the business world. Factories and assembly plants have been shifted from the countries with high labor rates to countries with lower labor rates (China and Bangladesh are the perfect examples). One of the changes effectively seen in the new cost saving formula is the measurement of every raw material used in the factories even liquids. It is true that the use of liquids and even gases has become more common in the factories and hence they need to be measured with the liquid level indicator for many purposes.

Liquids used in factories
Factories all over the world use a variety of liquids in their manufacturing and processing. They are used for a variety of purposes and their use is increasing rapidly. Here are some of the liquids which are frequently used in factories all over the planet.

•    Water: This universal solvent is used in every factory no matter what it produces. From cleaning the floors and shining the door knobs, it is the basic human need to wash, bathe and drink. Hence water is undoubtedly used and there is no place on this planet where humans spend nine to eight hours a day without water.

•    Acids: This is one of the most dangerous forms of liquids being used in the manufacturing units but they are being used for a purpose. Metal sheets are dipped, even sprayed and washed with acids to make them shine and become malleable. A top notch automobile manufacturer revealed to use a form of cyanide for making the automobile’s bare body friendlier with the paint which is sprayed on it.

•    Perk lone: Mostly used in textile factories around the world, it is used as an alternate to washing the apparel with water. This liquid not only clears away the stains that appear on the cloth due to leakage of oil from the machines to the mishandled ones. Washing can sometimes make the cloth lose its elasticity hence it is better to avoid washing it as much as possible.
Why measure liquids?

Factories have become organized and a record of everything is made to identify what came in and what went out. Since water is easily available it is not a hassle to procure it but the different kinds of liquids are not nature’s gifts and they are created in other factories which specialize in creating them in large quantities. Hence it costs a lot to procure them and these kinds of liquids are strictly measured with the ultrasonic level indicator to create an unchallengeable record of where everything went. It can be a huge fiasco when the annual audit is conducted and there is no explanation to where the entire amount has been spent.
