Magnetrol is a leader in level and flow measurement solutions. Ultrasonic level switches are essential for ensuring precision and reliability in various industrial applications.

What technology should we adopt in multipurpose tanks?

In cases where the fluid changes its characteristics such as density, dielectric constant, and capacitance, requiring constant recalibrations to ensure process reliability, how can we solve this problem?

In processes where I need a reliable solution because it involves a safety interlock to prevent tank overflow, what is the solution?

I need a solution that is flexible and can be used in more than one application within an industrial unit to reduce costs and downtime. What can we consider?

Ultrasonic level switches use ultrasonic waves to detect liquid levels. A transmitter crystal emits a signal at a frequency that only propagates when the gap is filled with a liquid, without the need for constant recalibrations

Advantages

  • Easy installation, no calibration required;
  • No moving parts – Minimal maintenance;
  • Not affected by changes in medium properties (e.g., density, dielectric constant, pH, etc.);
  • Variety of available materials;
  • Two switching points and options for remote mounting (differentiates from vibrating fork technology);
  • Low cost and advanced features in some units such as self-test and time delay.

Aplications

Comments

For maintenance professionals who deal daily with recalibration issues and losses due to process downtime, ultrasonic level switches are the perfect solution to address these occurrences.

They reduce commissioning time, as no calibration is required; simply energize the switch, and it is already functional, regardless of the type of liquid stored in the tank.

This technology reduces inventory costs, as the same switch can be used for various types of fluids, provided the insertion length is observed.

It has flexible mounting options, allowing installation both horizontally and vertically.
