Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Gauge or Sensor

Definition
A gauge or sensor component within an Oil Level Indicator system that measures the quantity or height of oil in reservoirs, tanks, or machinery. It provides critical monitoring data to prevent equipment damage from insufficient lubrication or overfilling.
Working Principle
Operates through various methods including float-based mechanical displacement, capacitance measurement, ultrasonic reflection, or pressure differential sensing to determine oil level and transmit this information to display units or control systems.
Common Materials
Stainless Steel, Plastic Housing, Electronic Components
Technical Parameters
  • Measurement range of oil level detection (mm) Customizable
Components / BOM
  • Probe/Sensing Element
    Directly contacts or detects oil level through physical or electronic means
    Material: Stainless Steel or Ceramic
  • Signal Transmitter
    Converts detected level into electrical signals for transmission
    Material: Electronic Circuit Board
  • Housing/Enclosure
    Protects internal components from environmental factors and oil contamination
    Material: Stainless Steel or Industrial Plastic
Engineering Reasoning
0-1000 mmH₂O (0-9.81 kPa) with ±0.5% FS accuracy
Exceeds 1500 mmH₂O (14.72 kPa) differential pressure or operates below -40°C or above 125°C ambient temperature
Design Rationale: Diaphragm rupture due to overpressure exceeding yield strength of 316L stainless steel (205 MPa) or silicon oil fill fluid solidification/vaporization at temperature extremes
Risk Mitigation (FMEA)
Trigger Water ingress through IP67-rated seal at 1 m depth for 30 minutes
Mode: Capacitance bridge circuit short circuit causing 4-20 mA output saturation at 21.6 mA
Strategy: Hermetic laser welding of sensor body with helium leak rate <1×10⁻⁸ mbar·L/s
Trigger Electromagnetic interference from 100 A AC motor starting at 3 m distance
Mode: Hall effect sensor output drift exceeding ±2% FS due to 50 mT stray field
Strategy: Mu-metal shielding with 80 dB attenuation at 50-60 Hz and twisted pair wiring with 100 Ω characteristic impedance
