Level Measurement Solutions
What are Inline Level Meters?
Inline level meters, also known as inline level sensors or inline level transducers, are precise instruments to monitor the level of liquids, solids or slurries in tanks, silos or vessels in a continuous manner. Those continuous level sensors convert level data into electrical signals (e.g., 4-20 mA) for process control and monitoring by utilizing technologies like ultrasonic, radar, hydrostatic, or capacitive, they ensure accurate inventory tracking, overflow prevention, and operational efficiency.

Challenges in Continuous Level Measurement
◮ Foam, vapor or material buildup on sensors may interfere reliable and accurate level readings in harsh or variable environments, which leads to overfilling, spills or inventory mismanagement, causing safety risks or financial losses.
◮ Choose durable level sensors to withstand corrosive, abrasive or viscous materials without degrading. Frequent sensor replacement or maintenance increases operational cost and downtime.
◮ Complex installation and calibration consume much time and require specialized expertise. Increase risks of prolonged setup delays and calibration errors in costly process interruptions.
◮ Incompatible with diverse plant control systems like PLCs, SCADA, or IoT platforms. Integration issues lead to data silos, reduced automation, or costly system upgrades.
◮ Frequent cleaning, recalibration or replacement in harsh environments increase cost of maintenance. Unplanned maintenance disrupts production schedules and increases labor costs.
◮ Difficult to strike a balance between high-performance sensors with budget constraints. Plant owners compromising on quality lead to inefficiencies and overspending.
◮ Fail to meet strict standards regarding safety, hygiene and environmental regulations. Non-compliant sensors can lead to regulatory fines, failed audits, or safety incidents.
Advantages of Continuous Level Measurement
