INTRODUCTION
Level sensors detect the level of liquids and other uids and uidized sslurries, granular materials, and powders that exhibit an upper free surfac
The level measurement can be either continuous or point values
There are many physical and application variables that aect the selectioptimal level monitoring method for industrial and commercial processes

DISPLACERS
The column displaces a volum
to a rise in the process uid. A buoyant force, whose magn
the product of the displaced vprocess uid density, exerts athe displacer, which brings dorequired to support it against force
This change is monitored by tlined to the transmitter, and change in force to level.

BUBBLER
The bubbler method is used in vunder atmospheric pressure
!ry nitrogen is used. The product of the process uid
depth from the end of the dip tusurface is equal to the pressuremonitored by a pressure transdto the tube.

MODERN TECHNOLOGIES
Time$of$ight &T(#' measurements are used by current liquid$level
measurement techniques. The distance between the liquid level and a reference point at a senso
a transmitter placed near the top of the vessel is measured. The total travel time is measured by the electronic timing circuit Technologies lie microwaves, ultrasound and light are extremely ee
for such measurements

LASER LEVEL TRANSMITTER
!esigned for level measurements oopaque liquids and bul solids.
These sensors measure the speed olevel measurement, instead of the ssound.
ince lasers are virtually beamless false echoes, they can be directed t
spaces as small as - inches.

CONCLUSION
The use of sophisticated digital electronics is increasing the usefulness oflevel measurement and other sensors
3odern level sensors produce reliable results and are easy and lessexpensive to setup.
/evel measurement can be integrated into existing control systems thansto the enhanced communication
