The Non Contact Liquid Level Sensor is not in contact with the measured medium. The Non Contact Liquid Level Sensors provided by Sino-Inst are not Gravity Non-contact Liquid Level Sensors. It is the liquid level sensor used in industrial tanks, reservoirs and open channels. There are mainly ultrasonic level sensors and radar level sensors.
Featured Non Contact Liquid Level Sensors
Non-Contact Level Measurement
In the automated production process, in order to ensure the consistency of product quality, the time when the production process is directly monitored and intervened by humans has gone.
Liquid level measurement and monitoring play an increasingly important role. It can be said that liquid level measurement and monitoring It directly affects the quality of the product and even whether the production process can proceed smoothly.
Contact measurement
A measuring method in which the sensing element of a measuring tool or measuring instrument obtains measurement information through direct contact with the measured surface.
Non-contact measurement
Non-contact measurement is based on photoelectric, electromagnetic and other technologies. Without touching the surface of the object to be measured, a measurement method to obtain information on the surface parameters of the object.
Methods of liquid level measurement:
There are mainly the following methods and principles for measuring liquid level in the industrial field.
- Direct display category. Such as glass tube, glass plate, etc.;
- Floating ball class. Such as magnetic flaps, small floats, connecting rod floats, cable floats, side-mounted floats, continuous floats, etc.
- Contact induction class. Capacitance level gauge, magnetic to telescopic level gauge, pressure type level gauge, etc.;
- Non-contact type. Ultrasonic level gauge, radar wave level gauge, etc.
Applications of Non Contact Liquid Level Sensors
- Liquid level measurement of sealed tank
- Liquid level detection of fire storage tank
- Liquid level measurement of open tank
- Liquid level detection in open channels, rivers, reservoirs, etc.
Non Contact Liquid Level Sensor Working Principle
Ultrasonic Level Sensor Working Principle
The working principle of the ultrasonic liquid level sensor is:
Ultrasonic transducer (probe) emits high-frequency pulse sound waves, and the surface of the measured level (material) is reflected back. The reflected echo is received by the transducer and converted into an electrical signal. The propagation time of the sound wave is proportional to the distance from the sound wave to the surface of the object.
The relationship between the sound wave transmission distance S and the sound speed C and the sound transmission time T can be expressed by the formula: S=C×T/2.
The probe part emits ultrasonic waves, which are then reflected by the liquid surface. The probe part is received again. The distance from the probe to the liquid (object) surface is proportional to the elapsed time of the ultrasonic wave:
hb = CT2
Distance [m] = time × speed of sound/2 [m]
The temperature compensation formula of sound velocity:
Ambient sound velocity = 331.5 + 0.6 × temperature

Radar Level Measurement: Measuring Principle
Very short microwave pulses with very low energy are transmitted and received through the antenna system. The radar wave runs at the speed of light. The operating time can be converted into level signals by electronic components. A special time extension method can ensure stable and accurate measurement in a very short time.
Electromagnetic waves propagate in the air at the speed of light. The distance between the radar level gauge and the surface of the material can be expressed by the following formula:
D = (1/2)*CT
In the formula: D ———the distance between the radar level gauge and the surface of the material; C ———Speed of light; T ———Pulse time.
Then the liquid level is: L = E-D
In the formula: L — liquid level; E ———The total height of the tank; D ———Air height.
Even in the presence of false reflections, the new micro-processing technology and the unique ECHOFOX- software can accurately analyze the level echo. By inputting the size of the container, the distance value can be converted into a signal proportional to the level. The instrument can be debugged with empty positions.

CO2 Cylinder | Portable Non Contact Liquid Level Gauge
Liquid Level Gauge also called Liquid level indicator. Liquid Level Gauge has contact and non-contact type. Here mainly discusses the non-contact Liquid Level Gauge, which is used for CO2 cylinder level measurement.
Portable co2 bottle liquid level gauge uses ultrasonic non-contact measurement technology. Detect and display the presence or absence of the Co2 cylinder liquid level. The Digital portable liquid level gauges are designed to offer a simple, accurate, rapid and reliable method. Determining the liquid level of high or low pressure CO2, Halon, FM200, Propane, Novec 1230 and any liquefied gas under pressure. No need to move or weigh the cylinders.
Non Contact Liquid Level Switch and Controller
Ultrasonic Level Switch-External Mounted
Ultrasonic Level Switch, External Mounted (referred to as “external level switch”) is a new type of level measurement alarm device. Ultrasonic Level Switch is mainly used to detect the liquid level of the storage tank. It can realize the upper and lower limit alarm or monitor whether there is liquid in the pipeline (dry protection). The material of the storage tank can be various metals, non-metals or non-foamed plastics. The wall thickness can be Up to 70mm.
Ultrasonic Level Switch is not affected by factors such as medium density, dielectric constant, conductivity, reflection coefficient, pressure, temperature, precipitation, etc. It is suitable for various liquid levels in the pharmaceutical, petroleum, chemical, electric power, food and other industries Engineering control. Ultrasonic Level Switch is the ideal choice for the detection of toxic, highly corrosive, and dangerous liquid level.
Ultrasonic Non-contact Liquid Level Controller
The Liquid Level Controller is attached to the outside of the tank. Non-contact detection of tank liquid level. Liquid Level Controller supports liquid level alarm, fault alarm, and 485, Modbus, 4-20mA, FoundationFieldBus, PROFIBUS or Hart.
Liquid Level Controller is installed outside the tank. The HS-ULC-Pro Liquid Level Controller works based on the principle of ultrasonic waves, and is also called “externally attached liquid level switch. It is mainly used to detect the liquid level of the storage tank, and its sensor (digital probe) acts on the outer wall of the storage tank. It supports upper and lower limit alarms, tanks Body temperature display or monitor whether there is liquid in the pipeline. Liquid Level Controller is suitable for liquid level process control in the pharmaceutical, petroleum, chemical, electric power and other industries. For the monitoring of toxic, highly corrosive and dangerous liquids, HS-ULC-Pro Ultrasonic Non-contact Liquid Level Controller is an ideal choice.
