Level sensor for water management in industrial environments

Measuring liquid levels is a critical factor in many industrial processes. Whether it’s water treatment, chemical manufacturing or food processing, accurate level measurement is essential for efficiency and safety. Level sensors provide a reliable and advanced solution for measuring liquid levels in tanks, reservoirs and other storage environments.

At DWTN we understand the importance of accurate and durable measuring systems. That is why we offer high-quality level sensors with a measuring range of up to 50 meters, specially designed for the business and industrial market. On this page you will find more information about the different types of level sensors, their applications and how to choose the right sensor for your needs.

What is a level sensor and how does it work?

A level sensor is a measuring device used to determine the amount of liquid in a tank or reservoir. The operation of these sensors depends on the technology used, such as capacitive, ultrasonic or pressure-based measurements.

Depending on the application, a level sensor can operate contactless or come into direct contact with the medium. Non-contact level sensors use technologies such as guided microwave and ultrasonic, making them ideal for measuring caustic or aggressive media.

At DWTN we supply both contactless and mechanical sensors, tailored to the specific requirements of industrial applications.

What types of level sensors are there?

Level sensors are available in different versions, depending on the desired accuracy, the medium and the industrial application. The most commonly used types are:

• Capacitive level sensors : These sensors measure liquid level by detecting changes in electrical capacitance. They are suitable for various media, including oils and water.
• Ultrasonic level sensors : These work using sound waves and are ideal for non-contact measurements in tanks and reservoirs.
• Pressure sensors : These measure the liquid level based on the pressure at the bottom of a tank, providing an accurate level measurement.
• Optical sensors : Suitable for switching applications where a simple display is required to monitor levels.

At DWTN we offer level sensors that are optimized for harsh industrial conditions and are resistant to extreme temperatures and aggressive media.

Why choose capacitive level sensors?

A capacitive level sensor is a popular choice for applications where high accuracy is required. This type of sensor detects the level of a liquid based on changes in electrical charge.

Advantages of capacitive level sensors:

• High accuracy, even with varying temperatures and media
• Suitable for both conductive and non-conductive liquids
• No moving parts, ensuring minimal maintenance
• Can be used in extreme industrial conditions

At DWTN you will find the latest generation of capacitive level sensors with a large measuring range and advanced electronic components.

How to choose the right level sensor for your application?

Selecting the right level sensor depends on several factors, including:

1. The type of fluid: is the fluid water, oil or an aggressive chemical medium?
2. Measuring range: DWTN offers level sensors with a measuring range of up to 50 meters.
3. Non-contact or mechanical measurement: do you need a non-contact solution or a sensor that is in direct contact with the fluid?
4. Ambient temperature: Some sensors can withstand high temperatures.
5. Display and communication: Do you need a display or a Bluetooth interface for monitoring?

DWTN is happy to advise you on choosing the best sensor for your application.
