Ultrasonic Level Switch

Reliable solutions exist for detecting the presence of materials in a vessel or space that reduce moving parts in contact with the material and can alert you to a high or low point critical for safety and other industrial applications. These products are resilient, often require no calibration, and are self-cleaning. Read on for our beginner guide to ultrasonic level switches. These simple explanations are meant to help you choose the best product for your needs. 

Vibrating Level Switch

Many industrial use applications call for the use of point level sensors to detect the level of media in a storage tank, silo, or hopper. There are a number of different point level measurement solutions to suit all of the use applications, media qualities, and environmental conditions. If you are looking to measure bulk solids or powders, particularly those that weigh less than one pound per cubic foot, you may be considering the use of a vibrating level switch. If you are not familiar with this technology, you may be wondering, “What is a vibrating level switch? How does a vibrating level switch work? What are the use applications of vibrating level switches? And, How do I choose the best vibrating level switch?” This guide answers all of these questions and more.

There are many industries and applications that require non-contact level measurement. A radar level transmitter is an ideal solution for situations where fluid needs to be measured but not touched by the measuring instrument. When accuracy, safety, and performance standards need to be met, it is important that professionals understand the available tools and make the best selection for their application. 

Does your site have the equipment necessary to keep workers safe and get the job done successfully? Gas detectors are important instruments for detecting toxic or combustible substances before they can pose a risk to the health and safety of workers. There are many different types of gas detectors and monitors, and they each offer different functionalities. It is important to understand what a portable gas detector is, how it works, why it is important, and how to choose one for your facility. 

This guide describes what gas monitors and detectors are, how gas monitors and gas detectors work, the types of detecting and monitoring solutions, and why gas monitoring and detecting systems are important. 

Many major industrial facilities throughout the world rely upon magnetic level indicators (MLI) to effectively, reliably, and safely visualize and control levels in complex process applications. When safety and performance are at stake, it is critical that manufacturers have the right equipment and understand how to optimize the use of tools.

Guided wave radar technology is a method of measuring the level of liquids with radio waves. It is used in continuous measurement systems for various applications, from the chemical industry to oil and gas production, water treatment plants, and more.

Gas detection controllers are used in a wide variety of industrial and commercial applications where fire, smoke, and/or toxic gases can present a potential hazard to property or threat to personnel. Controllers are designed to work with one or more gas detectors that provide permanent and continuous monitoring and generate actions in case of gas detection.  

Your refinery has options when revamping Delayed Coker Units. This was recently realized for a customer of ours, one of the biggest refineries in the United States. They have two delayed coking units. DCU 1 which consist of a 4 drum coker and DCU 2, which consist of a 6 drum coker. All 10 drums currently were using our competitors level system for measurements.
