Applications - Capacitance

Where liquids are non conducting or where you have free flowing powders then we offer a capacitance detection system. The system detects the presence of the media to be monitored.
This can be point level for on/off control or alarms.
it can be continuous level measurement.

For Point detection only the tip of the probe does the detecting.
The probe can be mounted vertically from the top of the tank to the detection point or horizontally through the side of the tank.
The probe will ignore product build up or contamination. Sometimes powders are blown into the tank such as cement. The probe will ignore the aerated cement and switch in the actual cement powder.

For continuous level measurement a typical application is an oil tank. probes don't have a "dead band". So you can measure to the top of the tank and you can ignore any foam that is generated when filling the tank. Boilers where there is a high humidity is another typical application.

In this section are some simple Diagrams to show the potential uses of the Continuous Level Indication and Control System.
