Level sensors

Point level sensors based on frequency deviation technology reliably detect any medium. Whether liquid, pasty, viscous or solid

Typical applications

• Empty pipe detection
• Overfill protection
• Min. / max. detection
• Foam and separating layer detection

Capacitive point level sensors easily detect fill levels either with or without media contact through non-conductive container walls. ​

Typical applications

• Non-contact level detection
• Deployment in aggressive media

Optical point level sensors detect levels or leakage with or without fluid contact by total internal reflection caused b y any change in the limit angle.

Typical applications

• Leakage monitoring
• Min. / max. detection
• Non-contact level detection in aggressive media

The potentiometric measuring principle operates medium-independently on level-proportional changes of the voltage ratio

Typical applications

• Continuous level measurement
• Overfill protection
• Performance in filling processes
• Low-conductive media

Hydrostatic level measurement is based on measuring the pressure that is continuously changing relation to the filling level. ​
​
Typical applications

• Continuous level measurement
• Measuring the density of fluids

The ultrasonic signal reflecting on the medium is the basis for non-contact level measurement in fluids and solid media.

Typical applications

• Non-contact level measurements
• Level measurement in small containers
• Chemically aggressive environments

Level sensor CleverLevel PL20 from Baumer awarded the next prize. When voting for the Product of the Year, the readers of the trade journal Computer & Automation voted the proven process sensor into second place in the category sensor technology.

Which medium is currently in the tank? Is the process proceeding as planned or are the values outside the tolerance limits? Plant operators can easily access all this information at a glance using robust 360° process visualization KingCrown.
