Hydrostatic Level Sensors

Hydrostatic Level Sensors

The company «Izmerkon» offers a wide range of hydrostatic level sensors designed to measure the level of liquids in tanks, wells, pipelines, and open water bodies. Products are available for order in Saint Petersburg and throughout Russia. All devices feature high measurement accuracy, resistance to external influences, and long service life.

What is a Hydrostatic Level Sensor

A hydrostatic level sensor is a device that determines the liquid level based on measuring the pressure of the liquid column. Hydrostatic pressure depends on the density of the medium and the height of the column, which allows calculating the volume of the container filling with high accuracy.

Operating principle:

1. The sensor is immersed in the liquid or mounted at the bottom of the container;
2. The pressure created by the weight of the liquid is measured;
3. Based on the obtained value, the filling level is calculated.

This method is especially effective when working with aggressive, viscous, or impurity-containing liquids, where other types of sensors may give incorrect readings.

Classification and Types of Hydrostatic Level Sensors

Depending on the design and application area, the following types are distinguished:

1. Level Transmitter — a standard solution for measuring the level of water, oils, fuel, and other non-aggressive liquids.
2. Well Level Sensor — a compact device designed for installation in deep wells and shafts. It features tightness and resistance to contamination.
3. Explosion-Proof Level Sensor — used in explosive zones (gas stations, oil depots, chemical plants) and has protection against sparking and overheating.

All models can be connected to controllers, automated process control systems (APCS), and SCADA systems, making them convenient for use in industrial facilities.

Advantages of Hydrostatic Level Sensors

By choosing a level transmitter, the client receives the following advantages:

• High accuracy and measurement stability;
• Resistance to foam, vapor, and mechanical impurities;
• Compact dimensions allowing the device to be used even in limited spaces;
• Lower cost compared to radar and ultrasonic counterparts;
• Ability to operate in harsh conditions (high temperature, chemically active environment);
• Ease of installation and maintenance;
• All models have protection up to IP68 and are suitable for continuous operation in aggressive environments.

Application Areas of Level Transmitters

Hydrostatic level sensors are used in various fields:

• Oil and Gas Industry: fuel level control at gas stations, tanks, and oil depots;
• Housing and Utilities: water level measurement in tanks, pumping stations, and sewage wells;
• Agriculture: monitoring the filling of manure slurry storage, silage pits, and watering troughs;
• Mechanical Engineering and Energy: monitoring oil and coolant levels in engines and turbines;
• Environmental Monitoring: measuring groundwater and surface water levels.

Well level sensors are especially in demand in water supply systems – both private and municipal – which is why they are frequently purchased.

How to Choose the Right Device

The correct choice depends on the following factors:

• Characteristics of the measured medium: density, viscosity, chemical activity;
• Installation depth and container volume;
• Need for explosion protection or corrosion resistance;
• Data output method: analog, digital, wireless transmission;
• Temperature range and environmental conditions.

Our specialists will help select the necessary hydrostatic level sensor based on the parameters of the specific facility.
