Filling level sensors: processes and technical solutions for level sensing and control

Level sensors are used for level control of liquid media or bulk solids in open as well as closed vessels. In many industrial sectors, a whole range of very different tasks arise for such devices. However, it is not always easy to meet the corresponding requirements for a reliable technical solution.

It is good to know, however, that a wide variety of processes with equally wide-ranging and in some cases highly specialized sensor technology are available in this context. With regard to the product range of sensor solutions for level sensing, ipf electronic is probably one of the most versatile suppliers. The rich product range is complemented by many years of experience in this field, flanked by a large number of successfully realized projects in customer-specific applications.

This white paper provides an overview of the various measuring principles for level control and presents specific sensor solutions. Depending on the application, task and medium to be monitored, the following information is intended primarily as a possible aid or orientation in the search for a suitable device or system. The sensor experts at ipf electronic are available to answer any further questions.

A few selected examples at the end of the white paper also underline the potential that arises in practice in view of quite different tasks and also challenges, among other things, through customer-specific application solutions.
