Ultrasonic level gauge is a non-contact instrument that uses the principle of ultrasonic reflection to measure liquid level, suitable for various industrial and civilian scenarios. Its core advantages lie in non-contact measurement, flexible installation, and strong adaptability. The following are the main applicable scenarios and characteristics:
1、 Typical application scenarios of ultrasonic level gauge:
1. Water treatment and environmental protection industry
Sewage tank/pool liquid level monitoring: used for inlet wells, sedimentation tanks, clean water tanks, etc. in sewage treatment plants and water plants. It is corrosion-resistant, pollution resistant, and can work stably for a long time.
River water level monitoring: Monitor the natural water level in water conservancy projects and support remote data transmission.
Case: The municipal sewage treatment plant achieves automation control through the linkage of liquid level gauges and pump valves.
2. Chemical and Petrochemical Industry
Corrosive liquid storage: such as acid, alkali, and salt solution storage tanks, to prevent contact instruments from being corroded.
High temperature or viscous medium: measuring high viscosity or high-temperature liquids such as asphalt and crude oil, without mechanical wear risk.
Sealed container liquid level: Liquid level monitoring is achieved through top installation in reaction vessels and oil storage tanks.
3. Food and pharmaceutical industry
Sanitary grade application: used for storage tanks of beverages, dairy products, pharmaceuticals, etc., non-contact measurement to avoid contamination, in compliance with GMP standards.
Aseptic environment: can be installed in bioreactors or fermentation tanks to reduce the risk of cross contamination.
4. Power and energy industry
Coal bunker level monitoring: Measuring the level of coal powder and ash silos in thermal power plants, replacing traditional heavy hammer level gauges and making maintenance simpler.
Oil tank level monitoring: used for oil storage tanks in oil depots and gas stations, supporting safe use in explosion-proof areas.
5. Agriculture and Water Conservancy
Irrigation pool liquid level: Monitor water level in agricultural irrigation systems, control pump start stop, and save water resources.
Reservoir dam monitoring: Real time monitoring of reservoir liquid level, warning of overflow risks, and ensuring the safety of water conservancy facilities.
2、 Special scenario extension of ultrasonic level gauge:
1. Adaptation to harsh environments
Dust environment: such as coal yards and cement plants, liquid level gauges can penetrate through dust to measure material levels.
High humidity/rain and snow environment: IP67 or above protection level, can be used outdoors for a long time (such as municipal pump stations).
2. Compatibility with complex media
Liquid containing solid particles: such as slurry and sludge tank, ultrasonic waves can penetrate suspended solids to measure liquid level.
Layered medium: distinguish oil-water interface or foam layer by setting multiple echo capture function.
3. Application in explosion-proof areas
Ex explosion-proof type: In flammable and explosive gas environments (such as petrochemical plants and oil depots), choose explosion-proof or intrinsic safety level gauges.
