Hydrostatic Liquid Level Voltage Output Pressure Transducers

Hydrostatic Liquid Level Voltage Output Pressure Transducers

Precision liquid level measurement with amplified voltage output hydrostatic pressure transducers. Ideal for industrial tanks, pump control, and volume calculation. 0-10V, 0-5V, and more.

These amplified voltage output hydrostatic pressure transducers are engineered for precise and reliable liquid level measurement in demanding industrial and research applications. Available in submersible and externally mounted configurations, these transducers provide a stable, amplified voltage signal (0-10Vdc, 0-5Vdc, 1-5Vdc, 0-2.5Vdc, or 0.5-4.5Vdc) directly proportional to the liquid height, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of control and monitoring systems. Ideal for applications requiring precise level control, such as pump protection, process automation, and inventory management, these transducers offer a robust solution for measuring liquids in tanks, wells, and other containers, and provide a convenient method for converting the liquid height to a liquid volume.

These hydrostatic liquid level transducers provide an amplified voltage output signal proportional to the hydrostatic pressure exerted by the liquid column above the sensor. Unlike ratiometric outputs, these transducers incorporate signal conditioning electronics to generate a stable, amplified voltage output, making them less susceptible to power supply variations and long cable runs, which might be encountered in remote tank installations. The voltage output is specifically calibrated to represent the liquid height, offering a direct and easily integrable signal for control systems, data loggers, and display units.

Select from a range of amplified voltage output options, including 0-10Vdc, 0-5Vdc, 1-5Vdc, 0-2.5Vdc, and 0.5-4.5Vdc, to match the input requirements of your specific PLC, SCADA system, or other monitoring equipment. The choice of voltage output range allows for optimization of signal resolution and compatibility with existing instrumentation. For example a 0-2.5Vdc output is ideally suited for battery powered instrumentation, and a 0.5-4.5Vdc is less sensitive to electrical noise over longer cable lengths.

These transducers are available in submersible and externally mounted configurations. Submersible versions, often deployed in boreholes, deep wells, or large storage tanks, are lowered directly into the liquid and typically feature robust, sealed cable connections and corrosion-resistant materials, chosen to be compatible with the liquids media.

Externally mounted transducers, typically installed via threaded or flanged connections on the tank wall, are suitable for applications where access to the tank interior is limited, or where the liquid is particularly aggressive and requires a specialized diaphragm material. External mounting also simplifies maintenance and replacement without the need to empty the tank.

The amplified voltage output signal of these hydrostatic pressure transducers makes them particularly well-suited for demanding industrial applications. Consider applications such as maintaining a precise liquid head on pump inlets to prevent cavitation in large-scale water treatment plants, or precisely controlling the fill level of chemical reactors in a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility. Another use includes monitoring the fuel level in large diesel generator backup power systems, often found in hospitals or data centers, and providing accurate level control for the automated precise dispensing of beverage ingredients into mixing tanks. These level measuring instruments can be used in applications including the monitoring of process water levels in cooling towers for power generation, or the precise dispensing of chemical additives in wastewater treatment facilities.

Precise volume calculations within storage tanks, vital for inventory management and process control, can be derived from the liquid height measurement. The relationship between liquid height and volume is dependent on the tank’s geometry. For cylindrical tanks, this calculation is straightforward, while for non-linear tanks (e.g., conical or horizontal cylinders), a lookup table or a more complex algorithm within the control system may be required to determine the correct liquid volume from the liquid height.
