The measurement principle of these level gauges can be clearly stated in one sentence.


On site, we often see a type of instrument specifically used to measure liquid levels - the level gauge. Users who have used level gauges will notice a phenomenon: there are various types of level gauges on the market, to the extent that many users cannot distinguish the differences between these different types of level gauges. Today, the technical editor from Shaanxi Huibo Electromechanical will clarify the measurement principles of these level gauges in one sentence.
1. Radar Level Gauge
The radar level gauge is a measuring instrument based on the principles of time-of-flight and frequency difference, where radar waves travel at the speed of light, and the travel time can be converted into level signals by electronic components.
2. Tuning Fork Level Gauge
The working principle of the tuning fork level controller is to make the tuning fork vibrate at a certain resonance frequency through a pair of piezoelectric crystals installed on the tuning fork base.
3. Float Level Gauge
The float level gauge is designed based on the principle of variable buoyancy, while the intelligent electric float level gauge is designed based on Archimedes' principle and magnetic coupling principle.
4. Ultrasonic Level Gauge
The ultrasonic level gauge detects the level based on the principle that the time interval from the emission of sound waves to the reception of reflected echoes is proportional to the level height.
5. Servo Level Gauge
The servo level gauge measurement is based on Archimedes' principle.
6. Float Ball Level Gauge
The float ball level gauge is designed based on the principle of constant buoyancy, and its structure is mainly based on buoyancy and static magnetic field principles.
7. Capacitive Level Gauge
The capacitive level gauge can measure the height of the liquid level by the change in capacitance between two electrodes.
8. Magnetic Flap Level Gauge
The magnetic flap level gauge is developed based on the principles of buoyancy and magnetic coupling.
9. Radioactive Level Gauge
The radioactive level gauge is based on the principle of radioactive absorption.
10. Steel Tape Level Gauge
The steel tape level gauge is designed and manufactured using mechanical principles.
The above several types are the level gauges we often encounter, and we hope they can be of some help in your selection and use. If you would like to learn more about technical articles related to transmitter instruments, you are welcome toclick herefor detailed information. Thank you.
