Hydrostatic Level Measurement

✅ Direct Immersion: Installation typically involves throwing the level probe to the tank bottom or desired depth, with individually configurable cable lengths of up to 200 meters. This eliminates the need for complex tank penetrations or mounting stands.

✅ Suitability for Challenging Conditions: Probe and cable materials can be selected to withstand corrosive, abrasive, viscous, or slurry-type fluids.

✅ Non-Invasive to Vessels: Ideal for retrofitting into existing, sealed, or structurally sensitive containers (e.g., deep wells, reservoirs, underground sumps, chemical tanks, ship ballast tanks), avoiding potential leak points or weld modifications.

✅ High Accuracy: Advanced diffused silicon sensing cells achieve accuracy up to 0.1% FS, with excellent sensitivity to minute-level changes.

✅ Long-Term Stability & Durability: Fully sealed structure with the protection rating of IP68, ensuring reliability in permanently submerged and humid environments.

✅ Easy System Integration: Standard 4-20mA analog output is commonly supplemented with digital protocols like HART, RS-485 (Modbus), facilitating easy integration into DCS, PLC, or SCADA systems.

Typical Application

Tank Level Measurement & Control

In tank-based applications, it stands as one of several excellent solutions, competing directly with technologies like radar and ultrasonic. The key to their advantage lies in installation convenience and adaptability to harsh internal tank conditions, and strong cost-effectiveness for continuous measurement of liquid columns.

• A submersible level transmitter is installed in a chemical storage tank, providing continuous, high-accuracy level measurement. Its hermetic sealing and corrosion-resistant diaphragm withstand the aggressive liquid.

• In bulk fuel storage tanks, the immersion level probes deliver precise real-time inventory data. The simple installation at the lowest point eliminates the need for complex tank modifications.

• For a large industrial water storage tank, a submersible level sensor provides reliable data, unaffected by surface turbulence or foam, making it ideal for water or wastewater treatment.

Well Level Monitoring & Management

In well-based applications, particularly deep and narrow boreholes, the submersible probe transitions from being a strong contender to the singular, default choice. It solves the fundamental measurement challenge that other technologies (e.g., radar beam dispersion, limited ultrasonic propagation distance) cannot address effectively: providing stable, accurate, and continuous level data over extreme depths within a confined space. Its capability and reliability make it the foundational instrument for deep well and borehole monitoring.

• For groundwater monitoring, the static water level monitoring reveals aquifer recharge rates and long-term trends, directly informing sustainable management policies to prevent over-exploitation and depletion.
