How does A Magnetostrictive Sensor work?

When the sensor of the magnetostrictive level transmitter works, the circuit part of the sensor will excite a pulse current on the waveguide wire.
When this current propagates along the waveguide wire, a pulsed current magnetic field is generated around the waveguide wire.
There is a float outside the sensor rod of the magnetostrictive liquid level gauge. This float can move up and down along the rod with the change of liquid level.
Inside the float there is a set of permanent magnetic rings. When the pulsed current magnetic field and the magnetic ring magnetic field generated by the float want to meet. The magnetic field around the float changes so that the waveguide wire made of magnetostrictive material generates a torsional wave pulse at the position of the float.
This pulse is transmitted back along the waveguide wire at a fixed speed and detected by the detection mechanism.
The position of the float, that is, the position of the liquid surface can be accurately determined by measuring the time difference between the pulse current and the torsional wave.

More Level Senors for Tank Level Measurement

Extended reading: Diesel fuel tank level gauges & indicators

Sino-Instrument’s ultrasonic tank level sensors feature an extremely broad operating temperature range.

They can operate in outdoor applications or extreme environments like commercial car washes, or outdoor fuel generators with no loss of performance or accuracy.

Tank Level Measurements

Sino-Instrument’s ULT series level transmitters offer cost-effective, continuous level measurement and a wide range of features, to handle almost any tank level management task.

Chemical Level Measurement

Many common chemicals can damage level sensors. Even stainless steel sensors can be quickly corroded by some chemicals.

Transducer elements and the adhesives that bond them to housings are especially susceptible to corrosive liquids and gases.

Special chemically resistant polymer housings are necessary for these environments.

Simply coated transducers or partially protected sensor housings may not offer enough protection.

Tank Level Display

A simple display will provide tank level in feet or meters.

With more advanced displays,

you can convert simple level measurements to engineering units like gallons, liters, pounds or kilograms.

Tank Level Alarms

Many tank level applications require alarms to be sounded when levels get above or below a certain point.

Tank Level Control

Ultrasonic level sensors may send measurements to a tank level controller, or ToughSonic sensors may control tanks directly using switches and relays.

Advanced Tank Level Measurements

Tank level measurements are sometimes complicated by conditions in the tank.

Structural obstacles such as supports or mixing equipment might be in the sensor measurement path.

Similarly, spray or foam can obscure the air-to-liquid interface that ultrasonic sensors detect.

These applications require more advanced sensor capabilities.

How many types of level sensors are there?

There are many different kinds of level measurement transmitters, including:

Capacitance
Hydrostatic
Magnetic
Radar
Ultrasonic
Guided Microwave

Each of these transmitters works in different ways, making them useful for different types of processes.

Capacitance Level Transmitters:

These transmitters use liquid stored in a tank or container, as a dielectric medium between two or more electrodes.

The energy capacity of the capacitor circuit increases, when there is more liquid and decreases if there is less liquid. By measuring the variations in the capacitance value, capacitance level transmitters can calculate the current fill level of the tank or container.

Extended reading: What is a capacitive liquid level sensor?

Hydrostatic Level Transmitters::

Also known as pressure level transmitters, these transmitters help in determining fluid contents of a container, by measuring the pressure of the resting body of the fluid within it. The greater the force of liquid, the greater the volume of fluid.

Magnetic Level Transmitters:

These transmitters use a magnetic object, which is suspended in a buoyant float.

This is usually in a narrow auxiliary column, to restrict lateral movements of the float.

While the float is on top of the liquid, the movement of the float is measured by a different magnetic device.

This allows a precise and stable fill level to be transmitted. This method is suitable for continuous measurement, owing to the tendency of the float to rise or sink based on the liquid level.

Radar Fill Level Transmitters:

These transmitters work on the principle of radar by using radio wave emissions.

These transmitters are normally mounted at the top of a tank filled with a liquid.

The transmitter sends a radar signal into the liquid and receives a reflection of the signal.

The transmitters then analyze the current fill level of the tank based on the time taken by the transmitted signal to return.

Ultrasonic Level Transmitters:

In this type of transmitter, an ultrasonic transducer is mounted at, or near the top of a container containing liquid.

The transducer sends out an ultrasonic pulse.

The pulse hits the surface of the liquid and gets reflected.

The sensor then calculates the fill level based on the time between the transmitted and received signal.

Magnetostrictive level sensor

Magnetostrictive level sensor, is the best choice for water level measurement, diesel tank level, and fuel tank level measurement.

Guided Microwave Level Transmitters:

These transmitters work by sending a microwave pulse, through a sensor cable or rod.

The signal hits the surface of the liquid, and travels back to the sensor,and then to the transmitter housing.

The electronics integrated into the transmitter housing determine the filling level based on the time, taken by the signal to travel down the sensor and back up again.

These types of level transmitters are used in industrial applications, in all areas of process technology.

Ultrasonic Level Measurement Principle

How does ultrasonic level measurement work?

When Ultrasonic Liquid Level Sensor is working, high-frequency pulse sound waves are emitted by the transducer (probe). The surface of the measured object (water surface) is reflected. The returned reflected echo is received by the same transducer (probe) and converted into an electrical signal.

The time between the sending and receiving of the pulse (the movement time of the sound wave) is proportional to the distance from the transducer to the surface of the object. The relationship between the distance S of sound wave transmission and the speed of sound C and transmission time T can be expressed by the formula: S= CⅩT/2

Extended reading: Case Study: Automatic Sludge Blanket Level Detector

The installation of ultrasonic level meter must consider the blind area of ultrasonic level meter. When the liquid level enters the blind zone, the ultrasonic transmitter cannot measure the liquid level. Therefore, when determining the range of the ultrasonic level gauge, a margin of 50 cm must be left. When installing, the transmitter probe must be about 50 cm above the high liquid level. Only in this way can we ensure the accurate monitoring of the liquid level and the safety of the ultrasonic level gauge.

Pay attention to the mechanical installation:

The installation should be perpendicular to the surface of the object to be measured, avoid using it to measure foamy objects. Avoid installation where the distance from the surface of the measuring object is less than the blind spot distance. Blind spot: Each product has a standard, which is known with the product. It should be considered that the beam avoids the blocking material and does not meet the filling mouth and the container wall. When detecting large solid objects, the probe position should be adjusted to reduce the measurement error.

Ultrasonic Liquid Level Sensor Advantages and Disadvantages

The advantages of ultrasonic liquid level sensor are very outstanding. It is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

The structure is simple. The reading is convenient. It is very easy to install and maintain.
Safe and clean. The instrument has long service life. The measurement is stable and reliable with high precision.
Adopt non-contact measurement. It is not easily affected by the viscosity and density of the liquid.

Of course, the ultrasonic liquid level sensor also has its own limitations and insurmountable defects. Specifically, it is mainly manifested in:

There is a blind spot in the ultrasonic liquid level measurement. The dead zone is the area where the meter cannot measure. During the transmission of ultrasonic pulses, a small area near the ultrasonic transducer usually cannot receive sound waves. The blind zone where sound waves cannot be received is related to the measurement distance of ultrasonic waves. Generally speaking, the smaller the measurement distance, the smaller the blind zone. The larger the measurement distance, the larger the blind zone;
Ultrasonic liquid level measurement is easily affected by temperature. In the actual measurement, the change of temperature will cause the change of sound speed. This will lead to errors in the measurement;
There should be no obstacles under the sound wave. Because the ultrasonic liquid level meter uses the principle of sound wave reflection to achieve liquid level measurement. If there are obstacles, it will affect the ultrasonic emission, causing signal loss and affecting the measurement effect;
Ultrasonic liquid level sensor should not be used to measure pressure vessels. Because the pressure mainly affects the probe. There is also a certain relationship between the pressure and the temperature. The change in pressure will affect the change in temperature. This will affect the change in the speed of sound. The accuracy of the measurement will be affected;
Ultrasonic liquid level sensor can not be used in the occasions with water mist, medium that is easy to produce a lot of foam, and volatile medium. Because this kind of working condition is easy to absorb the sound wave or interfere with the sound wave emission, the signal is lost and the accuracy is reduced;
Ultrasonic liquid level sensor is greatly affected by dust. This is because although the dust environment has little effect on the speed of sound, it has a very significant effect on the attenuation of sound waves. Therefore, it is best not to use an ultrasonic level gauge in the presence of dust.

What is ultrasonic level measurement?

Ultrasonic waves detect an object in the same way as Radar does it.

Ultrasonic uses sound waves, and Radar uses radio waves.

When the ultrasonic pulse signal is targeted towards an object, it is reflected by the object, and the echo returns to the sender.

The time traveled by the ultrasonic pulse is calculated, and the distance of the object is found.

Bats use a well-known method to measure the distance while traveling.

The ultrasonic level measurement principle is also used to find out fish positions in the ocean, locate submarines below water level, also the position of a scuba diver in the sea.

Level = Speed of sound in air x Time delay / 2

Ultrasonic level transducer working principle

During level measurement. The ultrasonic signal is sent out by the ultrasonic probe. Fold back after being reflected on the surface of a liquid or solid material. It is received by the same probe and measures the entire running time of the ultrasonic wave, so as to realize the level measurement. The relationship between sound wave transmission distance and sound speed and sound transmission time can be expressed by the formula:

The calculation formula of the ultrasonic level meter The calculation formula L of the ultrasonic level meter: the distance between the ultrasonic probe and the measured material surface. Unit: m;

v: Sound velocity value after temperature compensation. Unit: m/s;

t: The running time of the sound wave in the measuring range. Unit: s

Introduction to the main indicators of Ultrasonic Level Transducer

Range.
It represents the large range that the ultrasonic level meter can measure and reflects the sensitivity of the transducer.
The larger the range, the higher the sensitivity.
The ultrasonic level meter can be equipped with transducers of different ranges such as 4, 6, 8, 10, 20, 30m.
When the ultrasonic attenuation is fast and the interface reflection is poor. In order to avoid the ultrasonic signal received by the ultrasonic probe is too weak. If it cannot be distinguished from the noise signal, it is necessary to increase the transmitting power of the transducer.
Blind area.
It is also called the dead zone, which is a distance that cannot be measured by the ultrasonic level meter.
When the ultrasonic level meter transmits ultrasonic pulses, it cannot detect the reflected echo at the same time.
Because the transmitted ultrasonic pulse has a certain time width. At the same time, the sensor still has after-vibration after transmitting the ultrasonic. During this period, the reflected echo cannot be detected. Therefore, a small distance from the probe surface downward cannot be detected normally, and this distance is called a blind zone.
For products with the same measuring range, the smaller the blind zone, the better the design of the transducer.
Temperature.
The normal range is -10~60 degrees Celsius.
Although the limit working temperature of piezoelectric ceramics is generally 150 degrees Celsius. However, most of the materials in the manufacturing process of the ultrasonic level gauge cannot work for a long time at a temperature above 100 degrees Celsius.
Precision.
It is mainly affected by temperature changes to ensure measurement accuracy. Most ultrasonic level meters are equipped with temperature compensation.
In addition, changes in the gas composition will also affect the accuracy of the ultrasonic level gauge. For example, some volatile liquids. After volatilization, the air composition changes and the sound velocity of the gas changes, causing measurement errors. Most manufacturers can control the accuracy within 0.5% under normal temperature and pressure and without interference from the external environment.
Two-wire system and three-wire system.
The power supply (DC24v) and signal output (DC4-20mA) of the two-wire ultrasonic level meter share the same circuit. That is, only two wires are used. The disadvantage is that the transmit power is relatively weak.
The three-wire ultrasonic level meter is actually a four-wire system. Its power supply (DC24v) and signal output (DC4-20mA) loops are separated. Two wires are used for each. When their negative ends are connected to the common ground, three wires are usually used . Its advantage is that the transmit power is larger.

Ultrasonic Level Transducer measurement influencing factors

Various factors will affect its stable and reliable measurement when it is actually used in the field. Below we will combine the actual situation to describe the influence of various interferences on the selection, use and installation of ultrasonic level meters.

(1) The influence of medium and ambient temperature

When the ultrasonic wave is reflected from the surface of the material, its reflection frequency will be affected by the temperature of the material and change. In order to compensate for this change, a temperature sensor is installed in the ultrasonic probe. When the probe sends the reflected signal to the processor at the same time. The temperature signal is also sent to the microprocessor, and the processor will automatically compensate for the influence of temperature on the level measurement.

In addition, in order to ensure the reliable operation of the probe, it is required that the ambient temperature does not exceed 60°C.

(2) The influence of the agitator on the measurement of the level meter

If the material container is equipped with a stirrer, it will also reflect the ultrasonic signal, causing false reflection echo, which is transmitted to the microprocessor.

The microprocessor will process the true and false mask echoes based on statistical principles, so it is required that the echo reflected by the ultrasonic wave from the surface of the material should be at least 3 times the echo reflected from the stirrer arm.

Appropriately reduce the speed of the stirrer, or move the probe away from the stirring center. Both can effectively eliminate the influence of the false surface reflection produced by the agitator on the level measurement.

(3) Ultrasonic level meter measures the limit value of the material level

1) High material level

When an ultrasonic pulse is transmitted to the surface of the material, if it receives a reflected wave from the surface of the material, it will not be able to measure, and this distance is a blind zone. The material level shall not be higher than the blind zone.

2) Low material level

The di level is the distance from the sensor that the ultrasonic wave can reach. And the reflected echo can be received by the sensor. Due to the attenuation of ultrasonic waves in the propagation process and the absorption of sound waves on the surface of the material, this propagation distance is strongly dependent on the nature of the material.

In short, as long as the instrument is selected and installed properly, the application effect of the ultrasonic level gauge is quite satisfactory.

LMT Series Magnetostrictive Level Transmitter – Applications

What is magnetostrictive level transmitter?

Magnetostriction means that the change of the magnetization direction in ferromagnetic substance will cause the change of the medium lattice spacing. As a result, the length and volume of the ferromagnetic substance change.

Magnetostrictive level transmitter is a level transmitter based on the principle of magnetostriction. It is a high-precision, high-resolution transmitter driven by a magnetic float.

Magnetostrictive Level Transmitter working principle

Magnetostrictive Level Sensor Operating Principle

When the sensor of the magnetostrictive level transmitter works, the circuit part of the sensor will excite a pulse current on the waveguide wire.
When this current propagates along the waveguide wire, a pulsed current magnetic field is generated around the waveguide wire.
There is a float outside the sensor rod of the magnetostrictive liquid level gauge. This float can move up and down along the rod with the change of liquid level.
Inside the float there is a set of permanent magnetic rings. When the pulsed current magnetic field and the magnetic ring magnetic field generated by the float want to meet. The magnetic field around the float changes so that the waveguide wire made of magnetostrictive material generates a torsional wave pulse at the position of the float.
This pulse is transmitted back along the waveguide wire at a fixed speed and detected by the detection mechanism.
The position of the float, that is, the position of the liquid surface can be accurately determined by measuring the time difference between the pulse current and the torsional wave.

Technical advantages of magnetostrictive level transmitter:

-The magnetostrictive level transmitter is suitable for the level measurement of the clean liquid level required by high precision. The accuracy reaches 1mm. The accuracy of the latest products can already reach 0.1mm.

-Magnetostrictive liquid level gauge can also be used to measure the boundary between two different liquids.

-Explosion-proof design, suitable for dangerous occasions.

-Intelligent electronic circuit design can calculate the volume.

-The only moving part is the float, and the maintenance is extremely low.

Multi-Point Liquid Level Float Switch

Magnetostrictive level transmitter installation

1. Thread / flange installation:

As shown in the figure, the product should be installed vertically and the installation slope should not be greater than 5 degrees: when installing the float, the ON (upper) marked hemisphere should be above the liquid level:

The dead ends are measured at both ends of the measuring rod; the lower end and the bottom end of the rod should be flush when the locking ring is fixed.

This method is suitable for most liquid tank measurements. You can use the manufacturer’s connection flange or user-specified flange to screw the liquid level sensor mounting thread directly into the flange.

2. Use the active connector to install:

The sensor rod contacts the bottom of the tank, and the sensor is fixed by the movable joint of the electronic warehouse. The probe can be arbitrarily slid up and down to change the insertion depth of the probe. The sensor electronic warehouse and the lead-out cable are in the oil tank.

Note: Please tighten the compression nut and perform a pressure test to ensure the stability of the movable joint.

3. The positioning ring mounting:

The sensor rod contacts the bottom of the tank, and the positioning ring of the electronic compartment prevents the sensor from swinging. The sensor electronic compartment and the lead-out cable are in the oil tank.

Note: h = tank height H=h+ riser height

D=Φ100mm Standpipe height ≥300mm

Magnetostrictive level transmitter price

The price of a magnetostrictive level transmitter is determined based on the measurement conditions. Sino-Instrument is a manufacturer of magnetostrictive level gauges. We offer magnetostrictive level gauges at the right price.

Selection considerations:

1. The selection of the level gauge should be consistent with the environment of the media on the site. Including ambient temperature, pressure, vibration, shock, compatibility of structural materials and media, etc.

2. When the temperature of the measured medium is high (100 ～ 200), it is recommended to choose a probe with an outer float type and use a side flange installation. When the temperature is higher (200 ~ 300), it is recommended to choose a probe with a side-bundled type with an outer float, and install it with a side flange.

3. There are measurement dead zones at the upper and lower ends of the measuring rod of the magnetostrictive level gauge, which should be considered when selecting the range.

4. The size of the stainless steel magnetic float commonly used for level gauges is Ф45 × 56 × Ф15, and flange connection of DN50 or above is required. For the liquid level gauge with thread connection, users need to install flange or bracket.

Ultrasonic sensors are sensors developed using the characteristics of ultrasound. Ultrasound is a mechanical wave with a vibration frequency higher than that of sound waves. It is caused by the vibration of the transducing wafer under the excitation of voltage. It has high frequency, short wavelength and small diffraction phenomenon.

In particular, it has good directivity, and can be ray and directional propagation. Ultrasound has a great ability to penetrate liquids and solids. Especially in the opaque solids of sunlight, it can penetrate a depth of tens of meters.

Ultrasonic waves encountering impurities or interfaces will produce significant reflections and form reflections. Doppler effect can be generated when touching moving objects. Therefore, ultrasonic testing is widely used in industrial, national defense, biomedical and other fields.

To use ultrasound as a means of detection, ultrasound must be generated and received. The device that accomplishes this function is an ultrasonic sensor. It is customarily called an ultrasound transducer, or ultrasound probe.

Submersible pressure transducer installation

Precautions for the use and installation of the submersible level sensor:

1. When the liquid level transmitter is transported and stored, it should be restored to the original packaging and stored in a cool, dry and ventilated warehouse.

2. If an abnormality is found during use, turn off the power supply. Stop using it, and check it.

3. Connect the power supply according to the wiring instructions.

How to install the submersible level sensor ?

Total Time:

The ground terminal of the input liquid level gauge should be reliably grounded. The power shield should be connected to it.

When the transmitter is installed on the side, the bending radius of the air guide cable should be greater than 10 cm. Avoid excessive bending to damage the air guide cable.

In the occasions with large vibration. Wire can be wrapped around the transmitter. Use steel wire for shock absorption. So as not to break the cable.

The installation direction of the transmitter is vertical. The input installation position should be far away from the liquid inlet and outlet and agitator.

When measuring the level of flowing or agitated liquid. Usually the steel pipe with inner diameter Φ45mm is fixed in water. Then put the input level gauge into the steel pipe and use it. Make small holes at different heights on the opposite side of the liquid flow direction, so that the water can enter the pipe smoothly.

When the liquid level gauge is installed in a stationary deep well or pool, the steel pipe with an inner diameter of about Φ45mm is usually fixed in the water. Then put the input level gauge into the steel pipe and use it. Make small holes at different heights to allow water to enter the pipe.

When the medium fluctuates greatly and the air guide cable is very long. The probe should be fixed with a sleeve to prevent the probe from swinging and affecting the measurement accuracy.

Sludge, oil residue and other substances are easily deposited in the tank bottom or bilge. It is recommended to move the measuring probe at a certain height away from the bottom of the tank (cabin). In order to avoid debris blocking the probe.

If there is any problem with the submersible pressure transducer during use. You can call the Sino-Inst staff to get a timely solution.

If you need a portable instrument, we also provide Portable Ultrasonic Water Depth Gauge for water depth measurement.

What is a submersible pressure transducer?

Submersible pressure transducer is a hydrostatic pressure sensor. Because it can be put into water, the liquid level can be calculated by measuring the underwater static pressure, so it is also called throw-in water level transmitter / level transmitter /submersible water level sensor / level gauge. Submersible pressure transducer is based on the principle that the measured liquid static pressure is proportional to the height of the liquid. Use advanced isolated diffused silicon sensitive element or ceramic capacitor pressure sensitive sensor. Convert static pressure into electrical signal. After temperature compensation and linear correction. Converted into standard electrical signals (such as 4 ~ 20mA, etc.). Equipped with 2088 indicator head can also realize real-time display of on-site water level.

Precise level and temperature measurement with HART®communication

Measurement uncertainty of max. 0.5 %, long-term drift of 0.1 %.

And slight temperature errors make the SI-PCM261 a reliable measurement solution, for the monitoring of storage tanks and bodies of water.

The additional analog temperature output facilitates the compensation of a temperature-induced density error especially at temperatures of up to -40 … +80 °C [-40 … +176 °F].

The integrated HART® communication can be used for scaling the measuring range, and for the parameter isolation of unit, error signal, and others.

Why we use the 4 20mA in transmitting signal?

Why is it 4/20 mA?

The reason for using a current signal is that it is less susceptible to interference. And the internal resistance of the current source is infinite. The wire resistance is connected in series in the loop without affecting the accuracy. And it can be transmitted over ordinary twisted pairs for hundreds of meters.

Due to explosion protection requirements, the upper limit is 20 mA: the spark energy caused by a current interruption of 20 mA is not sufficient to ignite the gas.

The reason why the lower limit is not set to 0mA is to detect a disconnection. During normal operation, the value will not be lower than 4mA. And when the transmission line is disconnected due to a fault, the loop current will drop to 0.

Usually, 20mA is used as the disconnection alarm value. There are two more reasons.
One reason is to avoid interference.
Another reason is that the two-wire system uses 4-20 mA of current. That is, the two wires are the signal line and the power line. The 4 mA is used to provide the quiescent operating current of the circuit for the sensor.

Extended reading: How to convert a 4-20mA to 0-10V /1-5V signal?
