Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Liquid Level Sensor

Definition
A component installed in the liming vat to continuously monitor and provide feedback on the liquid level, ensuring optimal process conditions for the liming operation.
Working Principle
Typically operates by measuring pressure, capacitance, ultrasonic reflection, or optical properties to determine the height of the liquid column within the vat.
Common Materials
Stainless Steel, Polymers, Ceramic
Technical Parameters
  • Measurement range of the sensor, e.g., 0-2000mm for vat depth. (mm) Per Request
Components / BOM
  • Sensing Probe
    The element directly exposed to the liquid, responsible for detecting the level.
    Material: Stainless Steel
  • Transmitter Housing
    Protects the internal electronics and provides the connection interface.
    Material: Stainless Steel or Polymer
  • Electrical Connector
    Provides the interface for power and signal output cables.
    Material: Plastic, Metal
Engineering Reasoning
0-150 cm H₂O (0-14.7 kPa differential pressure)
Exceeding 200 cm H₂O (19.6 kPa) differential pressure or exposure to pH <2 or >12
Design Rationale: Diaphragm rupture due to overpressure exceeding yield strength of 316L stainless steel (205 MPa) or chemical corrosion of sensing element
Risk Mitigation (FMEA)
Trigger Electrolytic corrosion from chloride concentration >1000 ppm in lime slurry
Mode: Sensor membrane perforation causing false zero-level readings
Strategy: Installation of PTFE-coated sensing diaphragm with 0.5 mm thickness
Trigger Thermal shock from >50°C/min temperature gradient during vat cleaning
Mode: Ceramic substrate cracking at thermal expansion mismatch with metal housing
Strategy: Implementation of alumina-based substrate with CTE 7.2×10⁻⁶/°C matching 316L housing

Reliability & Engineering Risk Analysis

Failure Mode & Root Cause
Sensor drift or calibration loss
Cause: Contamination buildup on sensing elements (e.g., fouling from process media, scaling, or particulate accumulation), temperature fluctuations affecting electronic components, or aging of internal reference components leading to inaccurate level readings.
Electrical or signal failure
Cause: Moisture ingress into housing or connectors causing short circuits or corrosion, vibration-induced wire fatigue or connector loosening, or power supply issues (e.g., voltage spikes, grounding problems) damaging internal circuitry.
Maintenance Indicators
  • Erratic or inconsistent level readings (e.g., sudden jumps, freezing, or failure to track actual tank levels)
  • Visible physical damage (e.g., cracked housing, leaking seals, corroded terminals) or audible alarms from associated control systems indicating sensor fault
Engineering Tips
  • Implement regular calibration checks and cleaning schedules based on process conditions (e.g., after exposure to fouling media), using manufacturer-recommended procedures and reference standards to maintain accuracy.
  • Ensure proper installation with vibration damping if needed, use sealed connectors and conduit, and protect from environmental extremes (e.g., install shields for temperature or splash exposure) per sensor specifications.
