Hydrostatic Level Sensors
With extensive experience in level measurement and process instrumentation, iCenta Controls supplies reliable hydrostatic level sensors for accurate monitoring of liquid levels in tanks, vessels, boreholes, and open water applications. Designed for continuous measurement, these sensors provide dependable level data across a wide range of industrial and environmental conditions.
What is a Hydrostatic Level Sensor?
It’s a device that continuously measures the liquid level by detecting the pressure generated by the liquid’s height above the sensor. As the liquid level changes, the pressure exerted on the sensing element changes proportionally, allowing the system to calculate the liquid depth accurately.
Hydrostatic sensors are widely used because they provide reliable level measurement in tanks, reservoirs, boreholes, rivers, and process vessels, even in demanding environments.
How Do They Work?Â
Hydrostatic level sensors operate by measuring the hydrostatic pressure generated by a column of liquid. The greater the liquid height, the higher the pressure acting on the sensor diaphragm. This pressure is converted into an electrical output signal corresponding to the liquid level.
Many designs are submersible, allowing the sensor to be installed directly within the liquid, while others are externally mounted for sealed tanks or pressurised systems. Their simple measuring principle provides stable, continuous level monitoring with minimal maintenance requirements.
