To get an accurate level measurement, a non-contact sensor has to be able to ascertain where the surface of the measured substance is. And while liquids generally “find their own level,” every solid piles in its own special way. Some lie wide, shallow, and evenly; others collect in pillars with sharp slopes. Added to the variety of the collecting shapes is the shape of the individual pieces: smooth or jagged, rectangular, round, or flat. All of this makes for chaotic readings when using reflecting sound waves or electromagnetic waves.

What is it about a pressure transducer that makes it fit for use in harsh environments? "Insanely strong," "unbelievably tough," "the grittiest of them all," and other things that might be yelled by the announcer at a monster truck rally come to mind. And while grading pressure sensors on the "Monster Truck Scale of AWESOMENESS!" might not be helpful, thinking about a pressure sensor surviving a monster truck rally gives us a good jumping off point (just like the truck ramp!) for looking at why the Series PT-405 Explosion Proof, Heavy Duty Pressure Transducer excels in harsh environments.

The Water and Wastewater industry provides many opportunities for liquid level measurement. (It helps that there is so much water to keep track of.) Opportunities can turn into challenges, though, if the measurement technology chosen can’t meet the demands of the job. No matter what the demands may be, APG’s new Series PRL True Echo™ Pulse Radar Level Transmitter For Liquids is up to the challenge.
