Ultrasonic Level Sensor

How have smart sensors changed within the last few years? Pt 1

September 27, 2023 By Randy Frank

When the IEEE and the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) first addressed the need for a smart sensor standard in 1993, today’s dominant application for sensors – the smart phone – did not exist. At that time, automobiles were already successfully using a variety of sensors to meet government legislation for emissions control […]

The working principle, applications and limitations of ultrasonic sensors

January 7, 2021 By Lynnette Reese

The ultrasonic sensor (or transducer) works on the same principles as a radar system. An ultrasonic sensor can convert electrical energy into acoustic waves and vice versa. The acoustic wave signal is an ultrasonic wave traveling at a frequency above 18kHz. The famous HC SR04 ultrasonic sensor generates ultrasonic waves at 40kHz frequency. Typically, a […]

Flowline non-contact reflective ultrasonic level sensors from AutomationDirect

September 11, 2019 By Mike Santora

refelective-level-sensor-5x7

Non-contact EchoPod and EchoTouch reflective ultrasonic liquid level sensors feature Flowline’s proprietary Reflective Technology that delivers reliable level measurement in condensing environments. Condensation is the most commonly encountered variable in liquid level applications and attenuates the acoustic signal of non-reflective ultrasonic sensors, weakening signal strength and reducing measurement reliability. These reflective level sensors replace ultrasonic […]
