About Level Sensors, All Types

Level sensors are used to detect liquid or powder levels, or interfaces between liquids. There are two basic level-measurement types: continuous and point or multi-point. Continuous level sensors measure liquid or dry material levels within a specified range and provide outputs which continuously indicate the level. Point level sensors or multi-point sensors mark a specific level and are used generally as a high alarm or switch. These level sensors can also be integrated in a single device to add a low alarm, or to serve as a stepped version of a continuous level. For both types of level sensors, choices for output options include analog voltage signal, analog current signal, frequency or modulated frequency, and alarm or visual indicator.   


Products & Services Related to Level Sensors, All Types
Dry Material (Powders) Level Sensing Devices
Dry material (powders) level sensing devices are used to measure levels of solid, dry materials in either continuous or point values represented with various output options.
Dry Material (Powders) Level Switches
Dry material (powders) level switches are used to measure levels of dry, solid materials via an electrical switching action.
Level Switches, All Types
Level switches, all types, is a generic search form for devices that are used to detect liquid or powder levels, or interfaces between liquids. These level measurements are indicated via an electrical switching action.
Level Transmitters
Level transmitters or level transducers are used to measure the level of a liquid or bulk solid material (as well as slurries) within a specified space. For each measurement, they provide an electrical output that is proportional to the input level.
Liquid Level Sensors
Liquid level sensors are used to detect liquid levels or interfaces between liquids such as oil and water or liquids and solids. 
Liquid Level Switches
Liquid level switches are used to detect specific liquid levels or interfaces between liquids. These level measurements are indicated via an electrical switching action.
