Level sensors for aggregate bins commonly use ultrasonic, capacitive, radar, or mechanical technologies. Ultrasonic sensors emit high-frequency sound waves and measure the time for the echo to return. Capacitive sensors detect changes in capacitance caused by material presence. Radar sensors use microwave signals, and mechanical sensors use floats or paddles. The choice depends on the material type, bin conditions, and accuracy requirements.
The typical measuring range for level sensors in aggregate bins is 0.5 to 10 meters, as listed in the directory. However, the actual range may vary depending on the specific model and application. Always verify the measuring range with the manufacturer for your bin dimensions and material characteristics.
Accuracy and repeatability are specified as ±0.5% FS and ±0.1% FS, respectively, for typical aggregate bin sensors. To verify these values, consult the manufacturer's datasheet and test the sensor under actual operating conditions. Ensure that the sensor is installed correctly and calibrated according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Typical environmental limits include a process temperature range of -40 to 85 °C, process pressure of 0 to 0.1 MPa, and ingress protection of IP65 to IP67. These limits ensure the sensor operates reliably in various industrial environments. Always check the specific model's ratings and confirm they meet your site conditions.
