Frequently asked questions

Dynamic torque sensor can be divided into contact measurement and non-contact measurement according to the signal transmission mode, both of which should overcome the problem of rotating strands.

In the dynamic measurement process, the measuring element needs to lead the signal line from the rotating shaft to the control circuit of the fixed housing for signal processing.

If it is led out by the collector ring and the carbon brush (similar to the motor brush), it is a contact type;
If the principle of electric, magnetic and optical sensing is adopted, the signal signal is directly transmitted instead of the collector ring and the carbon brush, that is, non-contact measurement.

According to material mechanics, when a torque is applied to a shaft, it will cause a torque deformation. It consists of two physical quantities, one is the torsion angle and the other is the maximum shear stress or strain.

As long as one of them is measured, the torque of the shafting can be obtained according to the relevant calculation formula. Therefore, according to this measurement principle, it can be divided into torsion angle measurement and strain measurement.

Principle of strain measurement.

The most traditional method of strain measurement is to paste resistance strain gauges. With the development of science and technology, in addition to resistance strain gauges, there are many new methods. Such as acoustic surface wave strain measurement, piezoelectric strain measurement and strain measurement by the stretching effect. But the essence of its measurement is to obtain the strain value.

Traditional resistance strain gage torque transducers have strain gages as bridges, glued at 45° and 135° on the elastic axis. When the elastic shaft is torqued, the torsional deformation will lead to the change of bridge resistance, and the change of the strain bridge resistance will be converted into the change of the voltage signal. The signals transmitted from the rotating shaft to the fixed housing mainly include carbon brush contact, electromagnetic induction and wireless transmission.

When the existing torque sensor is used, it is mostly used as a precision torque measurement. After a long time of use, it will cause mechanical fatigue. Therefore, it must be calibrated and tested.

So how to calibrate the torque sensor?

Let’s take a look together!

Torque sensor calibration method and steps:

  1. Calibration preparation: Prepare the calibration tools (weight components, torsion joints (for folding testing machines), enamel discs (for automatic torque machines), rotary testers, torsion handles).
  2. Turn on the industrial control host and open the test software. Make sure that the connection between the pressure sensor and the motion card is stable. The numerical value is within the range of error (0.01gf.cm-0.03gf).
  3. Assemble the auxiliary connectors.
  4. Open the software to select the corresponding range of the sensor. Then open the calibration sensor interface. Clear the value when the sensor has no load.
  5. Select a suitable weight according to the sensor range. Select a small weight for a sensor with a small range, and a larger weight for a large range. For example, choose 200g, 100g weight for 2N.m, choose 500g, 1kg weight for 50N.m. Tie the weight to one end of the connecting piece. Hang it on one end of the pulley through the rope along the groove of the standard piece. Keep the contact state without external force Stablize.
  6. On the software calibration interface, click Allow Calibration. Enter the torque value of the calibration weight (gravity * force arm), and click OK.
  7. Wind the weight in another direction. Check the reverse force value. If the difference is large (>0.5gf.cm), take the average value of the positive and negative force values.
  8. Record the calibration date. Fill in the tool to the “Equipment Sensor Calibration Record Form.
  9. The calibration cycle is normally 1 year. If it is repaired or adjusted during use, it needs to be re-calibrated.

Torque sensors are precision measuring instruments used to measure various torques, revolutions and mechanical thermal efficiencies.

  1. Determine the distance between the prime mover and the load according to the connection form of the shaft and the length of the Dynamic Micro Torque Sensor. Adjust the distance between the prime mover and the load shaft so that the coaxiality of the shaft is less than φ0.03mm. Secure the prime mover and load to the reference plane.
  2. Put the couplings on their respective shafts.
  3. Adjust the distance between the torque sensor and the reference surface. The coaxiality of its axis with the prime mover and the load shaft is less than φ0.03mm. And fix the Dynamic Micro Torque Sensor on the reference surface.
  4. Tighten the coupling and the installation is complete.

Torque is usually referred to as external torque. For example, the rotation of the main shaft of the lathe is an adverse effect of the benefit of the external torque supplied by the power unit.
Whereas torque is internal torque. When the spindle bearing is working, the secondary benefit of the cutting speed of the CNC blade to the spindle of the machine tool causes it to cause rotational elastic deformation. It can be used to estimate the torque size.

Torque is the torque that produces a flipping effect or rotational deformation of an object, which is equivalent to the multiplication of the force and the moment arm.

Torque is a parameter that is very frequently involved in rotating dynamic systems. In order to detect the rotational torque, the rotation angle phase angle sensor is used more.

The relatively perfect detection technology of torque test is strain force measurement technology. It has the advantages of high precision, fast frequency response, good stability and long service life.

The special torsion resistance strain gauge is hung on the elastic shaft to be measured with strain force viscose, and a strain force bridge is formed. If the power supply is switched on and off during the supply work to the strain force bridge, the light bulb number that the elastic shaft is twisted can be detected. This is the most basic torque sensor approach.

  1. Dynamic torque transducer: mainly used to measure torque and speed in rotating occasions.
    Dynamic torque transducers can be divided into large-range torque sensors, micro-range torque sensors, and disc torque sensors according to their shape and range.
  2. Static torque sensor: mainly used to measure torque in non-rotating situations.

How To Choose A Torque Transducer For Your Application?

Frequently
Asked
Questions

The measurement principle of the torque transducer: using the strain gauge electrical measurement technology, a strain bridge is formed on the elastic shaft, and the electrical signal of the elastic shaft being twisted can be measured by supplying power to the strain bridge. After the strain signal is amplified, it is converted into a frequency signal proportional to the torsional strain after pressure/frequency conversion.

Commonly used dynamic torque sensors mainly have the following forms:

  1. Inductive torque sensor: This type of sensor mainly adopts a non-contact measurement method. This kind of torque sensor has a long life, high reliability, and is not easy to be worn.
  2. Potentiometer type torque sensor: This type of sensor can be divided into gear type, torsion bar type, and arm type according to the type. Among them, the torsion bar measurement has a simple structure and relatively high reliability. It was widely used in the early days. Sensors of this type are contacting and suffer from wear that reduces their performance.
  3. Metal resistance strain gauge type: This type of torque sensor is mainly composed of a measuring bridge by pasting strain gauges on the elastic shaft. When the elastic shaft is subjected to torque, it will produce a small deformation and cause the bridge resistance to change. .And the change in the resistance of the strain bridge is converted into a change in the voltage signal to achieve the torque measurement we want.

Torque can be divided into dynamic torque and static torque, which have a great impact on the final assembly of the product. Therefore, in the actual processing process, it is very important to distinguish between the two. Today we are going to tell you the difference between dynamic torque and static torque.

Dynamic torque: It is the peak value displayed in real time during the assembly process when the fastener is tightened. That is, the dynamic torque that the power tool applies to the bolt, overcoming the friction. The axial preload force for the bolts generated by the dynamic torque meets the engineering requirements for the preload force. Generally, the torque value preset by the tool or equipment is the dynamic torque value.

Static torque: refers to the torque required to overcome static friction after a fastener has been fastened and we continue to rotate in the direction of tightening. Generally, the peak torque we measure with an analog hand wrench is the static torque.

Torque sensors are the detection of torsional torque sensing on various rotating or non-rotating mechanical components. Torque sensors convert physical changes in torque into precise electrical signals. Torque sensors can be used in the manufacture of torque wrenches.

The working principle of High Pressure Rotameter:

The high-pressure metal tube rotameter is the force that the upper and lower ends of the float generate differential pressure to form a rising force when the measured medium passes through the conical measuring tube from bottom to top.

When the lifting force on the float is greater than the weight of the float immersed in the fluid, the float will rise. The area of ​​the annulus will increase accordingly. The fluid velocity at the annulus will drop immediately. The differential pressure at the upper and lower ends of the float will decrease. The float is stabilized at a certain height until the lift force is equal to the weight of the float immersed in the fluid.

The height of the float position corresponds to the flow rate of the measured medium.

The float has a built-in magnet. When the float moves up and down with the medium, the magnetic field changes with the movement of the float.

a. For the local type, the rotating magnet in the local indicator is coupled with the magnetic steel in the float to rotate. At the same time, the pointer is driven to indicate the flow rate at this time through the dial.

Asked
Questions

Yes, rotameters are affected by changes in pressure. When the pressure decreases, the rotameter will read a lower flow rate. Similarly, when the pressure increases, the rotameter will read a higher flow rate. This is because the rotameter measures the fluid’s velocity, and changes in pressure will affect the fluid’s velocity. Therefore, it is important to keep the rotameter’s pressure at a constant level if you want to accurately measure the flow rate.

RTD vs. Thermocouple: What’s the Difference, and Which Should You Use?

What is the difference between a resistance temperature detector (RTD) and a thermocouple? Both RTDs and thermocouples are sensors used to measure heat such as Fahrenheit and Kelvin. These devices are used in a wide range of applications and settings, often presenting people with the dilemma of choosing between RTDs or thermocouples. Each temperature sensor has its own advantages and disadvantages that make it suitable for certain conditions and environments.

What is RTD?

RTDs are made of metal wires, usually copper or platinum, that offer resistance to the flow of electricity. The RTD’s resistance changes when its temperature changes, allowing it to be used as a gauge for measuring heat. RTDs are considered to be more accurate than thermocouples as they have a linear relationship between resistance and temperature. RTDs are also less affected by electromagnetic fields than thermocouples.

RTD Working Principle

The full English name of RTD is “Resistance Temperature Detector”, so to be precise, it should be translated as “Resistance Temperature Detector”.

For a 5-application decision matrix and a 5-year cost-of-ownership comparison, see our decision matrix on RTD vs Thermocouple selection.

RTD is a special kind of resistor whose resistance value increases as the temperature increases and decreases as the temperature decreases. In industry, this feature is used for temperature measurement, so RTD is also commonly known as “thermal resistance”.

Not all metals are suitable for making RTDs. Materials that meet this characteristic need to meet the following requirements:

  • The resistance value of the metal has a linear relationship with the temperature change energy;
  • The metal is more sensitive to temperature changes, that is, the resistance change (temperature coefficient) caused by unit temperature changes is relatively large;
  • The metal can resist fatigue caused by temperature changes and has good durability;

There are not many metals that meet this requirement. Common RTD materials are: platinum (Pt), nickel (Ni), and copper (Cu).

Take platinum thermal resistance as an example. According to the different resistance values, it can be divided into Pt50, Pt100, Pt200, Pt500 and Pt1000.

The numerical value in the name indicates the resistance value of the thermal resistance at 0°C.

For example: Pt100, indicating that the resistance value of the sensor at 0°C is 100Ω.
And Pt1000, it means that the resistance value of the sensor at 0 ℃ is 1000Ω.
The resistance value of RTD thermal resistance at different temperatures can be approximated by the formula: R=R0(1+αT).

in:
1) R0 represents the resistance value of RTD at 0℃;
2) a is called the temperature coefficient, which represents the change value of the resistance at unit temperature;
3) T represents the measurement temperature, the unit is °C;

According to the number of lead wires of RTD thermal resistance, RTD can be divided into two-wire, three-wire and four-wire.

The lead of the two-wire RTD is to directly lead out two wires at both ends of the resistor to the temperature measurement module. The temperature measurement module adopts the principle of bridge balance, and RTD is used as one arm of the bridge to measure.

A three-wire RTD can largely eliminate the influence of the sensor leads themselves on the measurement results. The detection accuracy is greatly improved compared to the two-wire system.

Resistance Temperature Detector advantages

No compensation line is required, and the price is cheap;
It can transmit electrical signals over long distances;
High sensitivity and strong stability;
Good interchangeability and high precision.

Disadvantages of thermal resistance:

Although thermal resistance is widely used in industry. But it requires power excitation.
Temperature changes cannot be measured instantaneously.
The temperature measurement range is limited and the application is limited.

What is Thermocouple?

Thermocouples, on the other hand, are made of two different types of metals that are joined together at the sensor end. The junction between these two metals produces a voltage that is proportional to the temperature difference between the junction and the measuring point. Thermocouples are less expensive than RTDs and can measure a wider range of temperatures. They are also faster at responding to changes in temperature.

Thermocouple Working Principle

A thermocouple is a temperature sensing element. It converts the temperature signal into a thermoelectromotive force signal and converts it into the temperature of the measured medium through an electrical instrument.

The basic principle of thermocouple temperature measurement is that two homogeneous conductors of different compositions form a closed loop. When there is a temperature gradient at both ends, a current will flow through the loop. At this time, there is a seebeck electromotive force – thermal electromotive force between the two ends. This is called the Seebeck effect.

The two homogeneous conductors with different compositions are the hot electrodes, and the end with the higher temperature is the working end. The end with the lower temperature is the free end. The free end is usually at some constant temperature.

According to the functional relationship between thermoelectromotive force and temperature, a thermocouple indexing table is made. The index table is obtained under the condition that the free end temperature is at 0°C. Different thermocouples have different scales.

When a third metal material is inserted into the thermocouple loop. As long as the temperature of both junctions of the material is the same. The thermoelectric potential generated by the thermocouple will remain constant. That is, it is not affected by the access of the third metal into the loop.

Therefore, when measuring the temperature of the thermocouple, the measuring instrument can be connected. After measuring the thermoelectromotive force, the temperature of the measured medium can be known.

Thermocouple Advantages:

  1. High measurement accuracy: The thermocouple is in direct contact with the measured object and is not affected by the intermediate medium.
  2. Fast thermal response time: Thermocouples are sensitive to temperature changes.
  3. Large measurement range: thermocouples can measure temperature continuously from -40 to +1600 °C.
  4. Reliable performance and good mechanical strength.
  5. Long service life and easy installation.

Types and structures of thermocouples

Types of thermocouples Thermocouples include k type (nickel-chromium-nickel-silicon), n-type (nickel-chromium-silicon-nickel-silicon-magnesium), e-type (nickel-chromium-copper-nickel), j-type (iron-copper-nickel) , t-type (copper-copper-nickel), s-type (platinum-rhodium 10-platinum), r-type (platinum-rhodium 13-platinum), b-type (platinum-rhodium 30-platinum-rhodium 6) and so on.

Structural form of thermocouple: The basic structure of a thermocouple is a thermal electrode, an insulating material and a protective tube. Display instrument, recording instrument or computer and other supporting use. In field use, thermocouples suitable for various environments are developed according to various factors such as the environment and the measured medium.

Frequently
Asked
Questions

RTD stands for Resistance Temperature Detector, but is also known as PRT (Platinum Resistance Thermometer).

A platinum resistance thermometer (PRT) is an RTD that uses platinum as the sensing element. The most common PRTs are Pt100, Pt500 and Pt1000. (PRT is just a more specific name for RTD)

The first step in identifying an RTD is to find out how many lines it has (2, 3 or 4).
Then you can connect the RTD to the multimeter.
If it’s a pt100, it should read between 107-110Ω at room temperature.
But if it’s a pt1000. You should get a reading of 1007 – 1100Ω. This confirms it’s a Pt1000.

PLEASE NOTE: These readings are standard for new RTD sensors. If the sensor is damaged or used continuously. The readings may vary.

The international standard IEC 60751:2008 defines the resistance versus temperature characteristics of RTDs. Within this standard, in order to provide good interchangeability, there are standards of accuracy. Class A and Class B are two accuracy standards. We provide a tolerance reference table.

We get asked this question a lot, but Pt100s and Pt1000s are two types of RTDs (Pt500s are another type of RTD, but now obsolete).

RTDs use cables because they detect temperature by calculating resistance changes in the material. So you can simply order RTDs with long leads or buy additional cables to expand on your own.

When choosing an RTD, the following factors must be considered:

  • What temperature are you measuring (surface or immersion in solid, liquid or gas)?
  • If a fast response time is a must, see the RTD Technology page for various factors in selecting a response time.
  • Fits the specific dimensions required for your application, such as probe diameter, probe length, compression fittings, required connector types, etc.
  • Do you need special sheath materials?
  • Do you need to calibrate the sensor?
  • Does the sensor need to be resistant to chemicals/abrasion/vibration or any other environmental factors?
  • Is there high electromotive force (electromagnetic interference) in power switching, rectification or radio waves?
  • Any other installation considerations? (eg sensor needs to be bent to form before installation)
  • Distance between sensing area and instrument
  • Sensing ambient temperature over sensor length
  • Connection Preferences
  • Current wiring configurations such as 4-wire sensors will not be compatible with 3-wire configurations.

As a rule of thumb, RTDs should be immersed 4 times the length of the element. (Flat-film elements are typically 2-3mm, while wire-wound elements are about 15mm or more).

We are often asked this question, but Pt100 thermocouples do not exist. A thermocouple is a type of sensor, and a Pt100 is a type of RTD, another type of sensor.

A Pt200 sensor is an RTD, Pt200s have a resistance of 200 ohms (Ω) at 0ºC. The Pt200 sensor is now obsolete and has been replaced by the Pt100 and Pt1000 sensors. The Pt500 sensor is also an outdated RTD.

A Pt500 sensor is an RTD, Pt500s have a resistance of 500 ohms (Ω) at 0ºC. The Pt500 sensor is now obsolete and has been replaced by the Pt100 and Pt1000 sensors. The Pt200 sensor is also an outdated RTD.

Conclusions, which one should you use?

It really depends on the specific application and what is more important: accuracy or speed. If you need to measure very high or very low temperatures, a thermocouple is the better choice. If you need more accuracy, then an RTD is the way to go.

Mechanical Diesel Flow Meter Working Principle

Oval gear flow meters are our most commonly used Mechanical Diesel Flow Meters.

The oval gear flowmeter is composed of a metering box and a pair of elliptical gears installed in the metering box, and the upper and lower cover plates form a sealed crescent-shaped cavity (due to the rotation of the gear, it is not sealed) as the calculation unit of a displacement .

The flow meter is mainly composed of a housing, a counter, an elliptical gear, and a coupling (magnetic coupling and axial coupling), etc. As shown in the figure.

1.Counter 2. Transmitter

3. Accuracy adjuster (used above DN50)

4. Sealed coupling

5. Front cover 6. Cover plate

7. Oval gear 8. Shell

9. Rear cover

When the measured liquid enters the flowmeter through the pipeline, the pressure difference generated at the inlet and outlet pushes a pair of gears to continuously rotate, and the liquid measured by the crescent-shaped cavity is continuously transported to the outlet. The product of four times the secondary displacement is the total amount of the measured liquid flow.

The elliptical gear generates a torque to make it rotate under the action of the pressure difference △p of the measured medium.

The rotor 1 and the rotor 2 are alternately driven by one to rotate the other. There are two magnets on each rotor as signal generating elements. There is a magnetic signal detecting element at the center of the two axes at the bottom of the cavity. Whenever the magnet turns to the detecting element, the sensor counts as a pulse.

Each pulse corresponds to a certain amount of medium discharge F, F=XXml/p, so the volume flow Qm per unit time can be obtained: Qm=F*H, F is the amount of medium removed by each pulse; H pulse per unit time number.

Extended Reading: Mechanical flow meter for diesel

Take an oval gear flowmeter as an example. Under the action of fluid flow, a pressure difference is formed between the inlet and outlet of the instrument. A pair of oval gears are constantly rotating on the shaft. The cavity between its gears is filled with liquid.

As the rotation is discharged, the flow rate of the liquid flowing through the meter can be known by measuring the number of revolutions of the oval gear.
Assume that the volume of the oval gear discharged by one rotation of the oval gear is Q. The number of rotations of the oval gear per unit time is N. Then the volume of liquid that flows during this time is NQ.

If we choose an oval gear flowmeter made of stainless steel, it can also be applied to the measurement of many chemical liquids.

Commonly used fuel flowmeters include turbine flowmeters, circular gear flowmeters, oval gear flowmeters, mass flowmeters, etc.

Industrial oil flow meters measure the volume or mass of oil. Can realize the mutual conversion of volume and mass.

The main industrial oils are hydraulic oil. Gear Oil. Turbine oil. Compressor oil. Refrigeration oil. Transformer oil. Cylinder oil, heat treatment oil, heat transfer oil, etc. Of course, edible oil can also be produced in the industry. In addition, there are greases with lubricating oil as base oil and thickening agent.

Therefore, whether it is a company that uses, trades, or produces oil, it needs to accurately measure the oil flow.

There are many common oil flow meters, such as turbine flow meters, positive displacement flow meters, gear flow meters, mass flow meters, etc.

Crude Oil Measurement, 80G Radar Level Meter Should Be Your First Choice!

Crude oil measurement is important to the petrochemical industry. To control costs and improve efficiency. Effective crude oil level measurement regulation has become a challenge for many plants.

If you’re looking for a reliable and accurate way to measure the level of crude oil, the 80G radar level meter is the perfect choice. With its ability to handle various types of liquids and vapors, this meter is ideal for use in oil refineries and other industrial applications. The 80G radar level meter also offers a wide range of features and options, making it the perfect choice for Crude oil measurement application.

Why is crude oil level measurement challenging?

What everyone thinks must be the characteristics of the medium of crude oil.

Crude oil, usually referred to as unprocessed petroleum, is a viscous liquid. When the temperature is between minus 50 ℃ and 35 ℃ above zero, solidification will occur, changing from a liquid shape to a solid shape.

From this information, crude oil is viscous and tends to solidify when the temperature drops to the freezing point. Therefore, in order to ensure that the crude oil is always in a liquid state, the storage tank for storing the crude oil may be accompanied by a heating device. This is one of the working conditions.

Of course, there are many factors that can affect the accuracy of crude oil measurement, including the type of tank, the temperature and density of the oil, and the presence of water or sediment in the tank. Inaccurate measurements can lead to costly errors in production, transportation and refining operations.

Crude oil is typically stored in large tanks ranging in size from 10,000 to 50,000 barrels (4.5 to 22.5 million liters). These tanks are often located in remote areas, making it difficult to access them for monitoring and inspection. In addition, the oil in the tanks is typically very hot – up to 150 degrees Fahrenheit (65 degrees Celsius) – and under high pressure. These conditions can make it difficult to get accurate readings of the oil level.

Water and sediment can also accumulate in the bottom of the tank, which can throw off measurements of the oil level. Inaccurate measurement of the crude oil level can lead to over- or under-estimating the amount of oil in a tank, which can have serious consequences for production, transportation and refining operations.

To ensure accurate crude oil measurement, it is important to use a reliable and well-calibrated measuring device. In addition, regular monitoring and inspection of the tank is essential to identify any potential problems that could affect the accuracy of the measurements.

Crude oil measurement – Radar level meter measuring vaulted buffer tank

Distinguished from the shape, Crude oil storage tanks are divided into lying tanks, round tanks, conical tanks, arch-shaped tanks and so on. Distinguished from the use, storage tanks are divided into process tanks and metering tanks.

So, if the radar level meter is used to measure the crude oil in the process, and the crude oil is installed in the vaulted tank. What should you pay attention to Crude oil measurement?

First of all, process tank measurement should pay attention to the selection and installation of radar level meter. The process tank, is not used for direct trading. So the accuracy requirement is not very high. But stability is an aspect that needs attention.

Radar level meter selection, you can consider high-frequency radar level meter. When installing, pay attention to whether there are stirring devices or heating devices in the tank. If there is, pay attention to avoid these obstacles. To avoid causing inaccurate measurement, or even the inability to measure the situation.

From the arch-shaped tank alone, the selection of radar level meter is basically unaffected by the tank, but the installation needs to pay attention to the following. From the arch-shaped tank alone, the radar level meter selection is basically unaffected. But the installation needs to pay attention to the following. Normally, the radar level meter is installed in the vaulted tank. Do not install in the middle of the filling top. To avoid the generation of indirect echoes. Affect the real echo.

Finally, radar level meter to measure crude oil, pay attention to the characteristics of crude oil. Select the appropriate radar level meter model.

According to the information, for a long time in the past, the crude oil vault tank level measurement, are used to manually check the ruler + steel band level meter. As a result, there were often cases of stuck steel belt and stuck shaft.

The result of such a result is inseparable from the characteristics of crude oil. Crude oil has a certain viscosity. If there is a heating device present, there will also be water vapor present. Select radar level meter, as far as possible, choose non-contact radar level meter.

The use of the measured medium is different, the choice of level meter is different. The measured medium used in the tank is different, the choice of level meter is different. The characteristics of the measured medium are different, and the type of level meter is also different.

So no matter what kind of media measurement, we must know the working conditions, know the medium, know the use. This will ensure that the right type, the measurement can be accurate. Liquid level meter to play the maximum role.

Case Study: Automatic Sludge Blanket Level Detector

Sludge Blanket Level Detectors use ultrasonic technology, so they are also known as ultrasonic mud level meters.

Ultrasonic Sludge Blanket Level Detector uses ultrasonic emission with echo analysis of solids suspended in water. The height and thickness of the sludge layer can be accurately measured. Effective grasp of sludge settling characteristics. The control of sludge return flow rate.

Ultrasonic sludge interface meter/mud level meter supports various variable outputs. Such as 4-20mA variable output, relay high and low alarm control output, and RS485 communication output.

Automatic monitoring and control of sludge level can be achieved by setting the Ultrasonic Sludge level sensor.

What is sludge blanket level?

Sludge (sludge) is a solid settling material produced by water and wastewater treatment processes. The sludge blanket level is the interface between the settled sludge and the turbid or clear water phase above. The sludge level can be the distance from the water surface (sludge level depth) or the distance from the bottom of the tank (sludge level height).

Due to the highly variable nature of all types of sludge, classification is essential, and its treatment and disposal are different. According to its origin, it can be classified as

  • Municipal sludge (civil sludge, also called drainage cement sewage sludge,). It mainly refers to sludge from sewage plants, which is the largest category of sludge in terms of quantity. In addition, sludge from waterworks can also be included in this category.
  • Pipe network sludge, sludge from drainage collection systems.
  • River and lake sludge, sludge from rivers and lakes.
  • Industrial sludge, from a mixture of solids and water, oil, chemical pollution, and organic matter produced by various industrial production.

In (waste) water treatment and process control, sludge water level is an important parameter. Especially in the process of phase separation, accurate sludge level information is crucial. Automatic Sludge Blanket Level Detector can be installed in clear, turbid or even heavily contaminated media with high concentration of suspended matter.

The treatment of many wastewater effluents requires the separation of solids and liquids by sedimentation. The sedimentation process is usually done in a settling tank or a special thickening tank. A sludge interface meter is used to monitor the sludge level in the tank and control the discharge cycle of the settling tank or thickening tank. When the sludge interface meter detects that the sludge has reached the design level, it can control the sludge discharge pump for sludge discharge.

Below are some of the most commonly used diesel level sensors that we have compiled.

Generally speaking, the storage of diesel oil is in custom-made storage tanks. At this time, a magnetic flap liquid level indicator will be added outside the storage tank to measure the remaining amount of diesel in the tank.

When the level of diesel in the storage tank rises and falls, the magnetic float in the body tube of the level gauge also rises and falls. The rollover column changes from white to red as the diesel rises. The column turns from red to white when the liquid level drops. The red and white junction of the indicator is the actual height of the liquid level inside the container. Thus, the actual result of the measurement can be displayed correctly.
