Magnetostrictive Level Measurement

Magnetostrictive Level Measurement: High-Precision Liquid Level Monitoring

Our magnetostrictive level measurement systems provide highly accurate monitoring of liquid levels in tanks of various sizes and types. Using advanced magnetostrictive sensors, these systems deliver real-time and reliable measurement results. The continuous monitoring enabled by these sensors helps detect overfills, leaks, and variations in liquid levels, ensuring safety and efficiency in industrial processes. When predefined fill levels are reached, automated controls and alarms can be triggered, and data can be transmitted to control systems for analysis.

The magnetostrictive measurement method is based on the properties of special materials that change in response to magnetic fields. The core component of this system is the magnetostrictive wire, made from an alloy that reacts to an external magnetic field.

Here’s how the process works:

1. A float equipped with a magnet moves up and down with the liquid level.
2. A magnetostrictive wire inside a protective tube generates a short electrical pulse, creating a magnetic field.
3. This magnetic field interacts with the magnet in the float, producing a mechanical wave that travels back along the wire.
4. A sensor coil detects this wave and converts it into an electrical signal.
5. By calculating the time difference between the pulse and signal return, the precise fill level is determined.

This advanced measurement technique ensures accurate, real-time level detection and is ideal for industries that require precision and reliability.
