Level Sensors

Diversified Technologies offers a wide range of level sensors designed to provide dependable, accurate measurement across many industries and media.

Level sensors are devices used to detect and measure the level of liquids, solids, or powders in a tank, vessel, or other storage system, helping you monitor how full or empty a container is for better control and safety. They are commonly used to prevent overflow, protect equipment from running dry, and automate filling and emptying processes.

From water and wastewater to chemicals, oils and fuels, our solutions include hydrostatic submersible probes and related level measurement options with multiple level ranges, construction materials, seal and cable selections, and output configurations to match your application.

What are Level Sensors

Level sensors are devices used to detect and measure the level of liquids, solids, or powders within a container, tank, or other storage system. They help monitor how full or empty a vessel is, ensuring proper control and safety in various industrial, commercial, and domestic applications.

How do Level Sensors work?

Level sensors operate by detecting the presence or absence of material at a certain point or by continuously measuring the level. They use different physical principles depending on the type of material and application.

Level Sensor Typical Applications

Level sensors are used in water treatment, chemical processing, food and beverage industries, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, and many other fields to prevent overflow, dry running, or to automate filling and emptying processes.

Common Types of Level Sensors

  • Float Sensors: Use a floating element that moves with the liquid level, triggering a switch or sensor.
  • Ultrasonic Level Sensors: Emit ultrasonic waves and measure the time it takes for the echo to return from the surface of the material.
  • Capacitive Level Sensors: Detect changes in capacitance caused by the presence or absence of material near the sensor.
  • Optical Level Sensors: Use light reflection or interruption to detect the presence of liquid at a point.
  • Radar Level Sensors: Use microwave radar signals to measure the distance to the surface of the material.
  • Conductive Level Sensors: Detect liquid level by measuring electrical conductivity between probes.
