Measure Liquid Level in Hazardous Locations
If you need to measure liquid level in a hazardous environment such as storage tanks, chemical injection equipment, compression tanks, hydraulic oil vessels and similar applications, Gems Sensors & Controls has a new option to check out. The FM-Approved explosion-proof ELS-1150XP Series electro-optic liquid level sensors are 2-inches long and can fit in many small […]
New Liquid Level Sensors Seamlessly Integrate with Telemetry Equipment
Automation Products Group, Inc. (APG) introduces MNU Series Ultrasonic Sensors. Designed to operate as a slave device, MNU are self-contained sensors that measure distance, level or volume, with a standard Modbus RTU protocol (RS-485) output. Available in sensing ranges from 4 inches to 40 ft., the MNU is a robust yet affordable sensing solution that […]
Plastic Submersible Pressure Transducer Gets Hazardous Duty Approvals
American Sensor Technologies plastic submersible pressure transducer has been certified by CSA International to Class I Div 1, Groups C and D for use in intrinsically safe areas with an approved barrier. The approval includes the latest intrinsically safe hazardous location standards for North America. The AST4530 uses complete PVDF and PTFE construction. Intended for use in hazardous […]
Submersible Pressure Sensor for Corrosive Liquids
Rather than use stainless steel or titanium that cannot withstand some corrosive liquids, American Sensor Technologies, Inc. (AST) chose polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) a highly non-reactive and pure thermoplastic fluoropolymer material for its submersible pressure transducer. The AST4530 has a Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) diaphragm and is an ABS approved product. The transducer provides an alternative to ultrasonic […]
AutomationDirect extends Ultrasonic Liquid Level Sensors line
AutomationDirect has added the Flowline® EchoTouch™, EchoSpan®, and EchoSwitch® lines of ultrasonic liquid level sensors and transmitters, as well as the PodView digital level indicator to their product offerings. These innovative ultrasonic liquid level sensor families replace float, conductance and pressure sensors that fail due to contact with dirty, sticky and scaling media in small, […]
Higher Operating Temperature for Submersible Level Transducer
With its recently increased maximum operating temperature of 85°C, Measurement Specialties KPSI Model 342 submersible level transducer can handle even more applications in surface water, groundwater, down hole, tailrace and forebay monitoring as well as oceanographic research. The unit contains an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) that provides a 4-20 mA analog output with digital […]
Monitor tank level with your Tank Cloud
Automation Products Group, Inc. (APG) introduces Tank Cloud Remote Monitoring – a cost-effective remote tank level monitoring system that enables users to monitor facilities and processes from anywhere with an internet connection, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Using APG’s proprietary remote level sensors and modules, or any sensor with a 4-20mA output, […]
Magnetic Reed Switch uses MEMS Technology
Switches often provide sensing information in go/no-go or on/off applications. For example, they are used in vehicles to indicate the gear lever position and sufficient fluid level for the brake fluid reservoir. For these and other applications that require a small, high-performance switch, a new Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS)-based magnetic reed switch from Coto Technology Inc. […]
