Continuous Level Measurement with Ultrasonic Sensors

Ultrasonic level sensors offer a reliable and cost-effective way to measure liquids and bulk solids. They work without contact, are wear-free, easy to install, and ensure a long service life.

How it works

• The sensor emits ultrasonic pulses towards the medium.
• The pulses are reflected by the surface and return as an echo.
• The sensor measures the time taken and calculates the distance.
• From the distance and tank geometry, the fill level is determined.

This method is contactless, maintenance-free, and unaffected by product properties such as density, moisture, or dielectric constant.

What to consider

• Mount the sensor vertically and correctly aligned.
• Use proper housing for protection in harsh environments.
• Ensure calibration and adjustment for accurate results.
• Be aware of the sensor’s measurement limits at very low or high levels.

Your benefits

• Cost-effective solution for standard applications
• Non-contact, maintenance-free operation
• Reliable results, independent of product properties

Applications

Ultrasonic sensors are ideal for tanks and silos storing liquids or bulk materials. They are widely used in wastewater treatment, food processing, warehouses, and agriculture.
