UltraMeter level measurement
Working principle
The ultrasound sensor generates an acoustic pulse which is linked to the liquid through the container wall. The sound is reflected at the surface of the liquid and the echo received again by the sensor (ultrasound pulse echo process). The running time of the sound pulse is measured and analysed in the KSR UltraMeter. If no liquid is present there is no reflection, as the ultrasound pulse is not carried through air or gas.
Area of application
For monitoring liquids which must be measured absolutely without contact (e.g. bio reactors).
Temperature
-20 °C to +60 °C (+135 °C optional)
Pressure
Independent of pressure since it is mounted outside the container
Output
0/4-20 mA; with or without switched outputs, depending on the analysis unit
Fitting and Types
The KSR ultrasound measurement type UltraMeter used for the contactless continuous measurement of the level in containers. The sensors are simply fixed onto the container wall from outside, which means that it is possible to fit them afterwards without incurring great expense.
