Things to consider before buying a level indicator transmitter

2024-04-23

The level indicator transmitter offers continuous level measurements across a wide range of systems rather than a single point and generates an output signal that directly links to the level within the vessel.  

 

Like other measuring instruments, this tool is also equally important in improving the efficiency of industrial processes by giving accurate and reliable measurements.

Have you heard about Kaidi Sensors? It is one of the leading level indicator manufacturers and offers a huge variety of tools and instruments to improve the efficiency of numerous industrial processes.

Kaidi Sensors also manufactures a good range of level indicator transmitters and allows you to ensure accurate measurement. To further know about Kaidi’s level transmitter, keep reading.

Things to Consider Before Buying Level Indicator Transmitter

How do you select a pressure transmitter? There is a wide range of transmitters, however, before finalizing a level indicator transmitter you must consider some factors and select the transmitter that is best for your specifications and requirements.

Let’s discuss these factors in detail

Process Media

The first thing to consider before buying a level gauge transmitter is the nature of the process media. You must determine clearly whether you need a level transmitter for solid or liquid. Moreover, also decide on what type of solid or liquid you will deal in.

For instance, viscous liquids or dirty liquids with mud will block the pressure port of pressure transmitters. Therefore, in the case of viscous liquids, a pressure transmitter is not a good choice.

Pressure Range

You must know the maximum pressure value within the system. Generally, as a rule of thumb, it is always recommended to choose a pressure transmitter having a pressure range of 1.5 times higher than the maximum pressure value within the system.

Temperature Range

Besides pressure, it is also important to understand the maximum temperature range of the system. In the case of temperature, the transmitter possesses two temperature ranges i.e., normal operating temperature and compensation range.

The normal temperature range is the temperature at which the transmitter performs its function very well without any chances of damage. On the other hand, if the temperature exceeds this range, then it is known as the compensation range.

However, the transmitter may not meet performance specifications during application when temperature increases beyond the compensation range.

Accuracy

It is also essential to assess the accuracy of the transmitter before deciding on a level indicator transmitter.

The accuracy of the transmitter is determined by its hysteresis, nonlinearity, temperature, non-repeatability, zero offset scale, and the influence of temperature.

However, you must understand that the higher the accuracy, the higher will be the price of the level gauge with transmitter.

Output Signals

The digital output is expressed as mV, mA, and V. Selecting one output is determined through multiple factors.

These factors may include the distance between the system controller and transmitter, interference in the form of noise or electromagnetic signals, and amplifier location.

In case you find a need to amplify the signals, then it is always recommended to employ the built-in amplification of the transmitter.

In case, your industrial process operates in an environment having high RFI or EMI indicators, then you should also consider specialized protection filters in addition to frequency or mA output.

Voltage

What kind of voltage is suitable for your level indicator transmitter is determined by the type of output signals.

In most cases, the transmitters possess built-in voltage regulation, therefore, there are multiple options for supplying voltage. On the other hand, in other cases, transmitters require stable voltage as they have to be configured quantitatively.

Therefore, you should always consider both working voltage and system cost when deciding on purchasing a level gauge with transmitter.

Stability

Determining the stability of your transmitter is also a very important aspect to note as it will help you to understand the threshold limit of your transmitter and avoid any kind of performance failure or inconsistency.

Protection

This factor is mostly overlooked in the majority of cases. However, ignoring this factor can lead to serious consequences in the future.

So, before buying a transmitter, you must know suitable working conditions for your transmitter to protect your device, employees, and environment.

Kind of Connection

You must always be clear on whether to use a short-distance or long-distance connection between your transmitter and electronic equipment as it is also important to ensure the optimal performance of your transmitter.

Let’s explore what type of level indicator transmitters are offered by Kaidi Sensors.

Why Consider Kaidi for Level Indicator Transmitter - Product highlights

Kaidi Sensors has been delivering a high-quality and high-performing level gauge transmitter for more than 20 years. Buying level transmitters from Kaidi Sensors will enable optimal resource optimization and enhance the efficiency of your industrial processes.

Does your industrial process occur under high temperature or high pressure? You do not have to worry about whether Kaidi’s transmitter will work under high temperature or pressure as two types of level indicator transmitters are available at Kaidi. Let’s discuss this in detail.

Vacuum Pressure Transmitter

A vacuum pressure transmitter refers to a mechanical device that estimates the expansive force of a gas or liquid sample. It is also called a pressure transducer.

This transmitter is composed of a surface area sensitive to pressure and is composed of silicone, steel, or other materials as per the analyte’s composition. It can be employed in various industrial processes and applications to measure the pressure of fluids, liquids, and gases under varying working equipment.

Temperature Transmitter

It refers to an electrical tool that possesses a temperature sensor to separate, intensify, screen noise, and convert signals from sensors to transmit it to the control device.

It is specially designed to measure temperature changes and is responsible for altering the small electrical signal from temperature sensors into understandable and readable signals for processing.

Conclusions

To conclude, a level indicator transmitter allows continuous level measurement of both liquid and solid media at any time.

Kaidi Sensors offers two types of level transmitters i.e., temperature and pressure transmitters. These transmitters are designed to give precise measurements even during high temperatures and pressure and play a significant role in ensuring optimal resource usage and avoiding spills or accidents.
