Using magnetostrictive linear position sensors to monitor levels on non-magnetic containers
Our BTL magnetostrictive linear position sensors in the rod-style can be used for non-contacting level monitoring on containers made of non-magnetic materials such as glass, stainless steel or plastic. The container wall can be up to 8 mm thick. A float with integrated magnetic ring is used to indicate the level. The measurement system detects the position of the float from outside the container and sends a signal for processing. Levels of from a few millimeters to as much as 6 meters can be reliably detected.
