  Steel belt level gauge

The steel belt level gauge is a traditional level gauge. It is designed and manufactured using the principle of mechanical equilibrium. It is composed of a liquid level detection device, a high-precision displacement transmission system, a constant force device, a display device, a transmitter device and other peripherals.

The float immersed in the liquid to be measured is subjected to the gravitational force W, the buoyancy force F and the constant tensile force T generated by the constant force device, and when the vector sum of the three forces is equal to zero, the float is in a quasi-equilibrium stationary state. The buoyancy force in mechanical equilibrium is quasi-constant (the volume V of the float immersed in the liquid is constant).

When the liquid level changes, the original mechanical equilibrium will reach a new equilibrium through the movement of the steel belt under the disturbance of the float by buoyancy. The liquid level detection device (float) drives the steel belt to move according to the liquid level, and the displacement transmission system instigates the transmission pin to rotate through the movement of the steel belt, and then acts on the counter to display the liquid level.

The transmitter converts this level situation into a standard electrical signal and outputs it via a signal line. This electrical signal can drive other control devices.

Features and scope of application:

The steel belt level gauge has the advantages of strong practicability, large measurement range, high accuracy and stable performance, long service life, and easy maintenance. In addition, the large counter display makes the reading clear and accurate; Manual float lifting mechanism, which can check the working condition of the instrument at any time; It can be connected with a variety of transmitters to form a liquid level detection system.

  Magnetic flip column level gauge

The magnetic flap level gauge is also known as the magnetic flap level gauge, and its structure is mainly designed and produced based on the principle of buoyancy and magnetic force. The position of a float with a magnet (referred to as a magnetic float) in the measured medium is affected by buoyancy. The change in liquid level leads to a change in the position of the magnetic float, and the hydrostatic coupling of the magnetic float and the magnetic flap column (also known as the magnetic flap) causes the magnetic flap column to flip at a certain angle (the surface of the magnetic flap column is coated with different colors), which in turn reflects the liquid level in the container.

With sensors (reed switches) and precision electronic components, electronic modules and transmitter modules can transmit output resistance value signals, current value (4-20mA) signals, switching signals and other electrical signals. So as to achieve the perfect combination of on-site observation and remote control.

It can be widely used in liquid level measurement, control and monitoring in petroleum processing, food processing, chemical industry, water treatment, pharmaceutical, electric power, papermaking, metallurgy, ships and boilers.

  Magnetic Float Level Gauge (Level Switch)

The structure of the magnetic float level gauge (liquid level switch) is mainly designed and produced based on the principle of buoyancy and static magnetic field. The position of the float with a magnet (referred to as the float) in the measured medium is affected by buoyancy: a change in the liquid level leads to a change in the position of the magnetic float.

The magnets and sensors (reed switches) in the float act to change the number of components (such as fixed-value resistors) connected in series into the circuit, which in turn changes the electrical quantity of the instrument circuit system. That is, the change in the position of the magnetic float causes a change in the electrical quantity. The change in the amount of electricity is detected to reflect the situation of the liquid level in the container.

The level gauge can directly output the resistance value signal, or it can be used with the transmitter module to output the current value (4-20mA) signal; At the same time, it can be used with other converters to output voltage signals or switching signals (converters can also be distributed by the company according to customer needs). In this way, the remote transmission, analysis and control of electrical signals can be realized.

Features and scope of application:

The magnetic float level gauge can be applied to the level measurement and control in almost all kinds of industrial automation process control, and can be widely used in the liquid level measurement, control and monitoring in the fields of petroleum processing, food processing, chemical industry, water treatment, pharmaceutical, electric power, papermaking, metallurgy, ships and boilers.

  Hammer probe level gauge

The hammer level gauge is designed and produced according to the principle of mechanical equilibrium. When the steel belt is immersed in the liquid and stationary at a certain position, the gravity of the float, the wire rope (or steel belt), the weight and the pointer, the buoyancy of the liquid on the steel belt and the system friction are in a state of equilibrium.

When the liquid level changes, the buoyancy F will change accordingly, and the original equilibrium of the system will be disturbed and the dynamic equilibrium will be re-reached. The change of liquid level leads to the change of the position of the float, and the hammer drives the pointer to move up and down, and the liquid level change in the container can be clearly and intuitively displayed on the ruler.

The top end of the ruler plate indicates the zero position of the liquid level, and the bottom end indicates the full scale range of the liquid level. The pointer changes according to the level and continuously indicates the level of liquid.

It emits energy waves through a device that can emit energy waves (generally pulse signals), and the energy waves are reflected when they encounter obstacles, and the reflected signals are received by a receiving device. The change in level is determined based on the time difference in the measurement of the movement of the energy wave.

  Capacitive level gauge

The measurement principle of capacitive level meter, the oscillation frequency of the oscillation circuit is related to the capacitance value, and the change of the level causes the change of the system capacitance, and then changes the oscillation frequency of the oscillation circuit. The oscillation circuit in the sensor converts the capacitance change caused by the level change into the frequency change, and sends it to the electronic module, which is converted into engineering quantity and displayed after calculation and analysis, so as to realize continuous measurement of the level.
