Where should you install my ultrasonic or radar liquid level sensor on your tank? Since tanks vary from simple to complex, the short answer is: mount the sensor on a flat, perpendicular surface with clear, unobstructed measurement space down to the tank bottom.

A standpipe is a simple barrier that isolates the sensor’s acoustic or RF signal from the rest of the tank. This improves performance in three cases. First, extreme agitation can scatter the signal and cause erratic readings; a standpipe dampens the turbulence at the measurement point.

Condensation is the most common variable in liquid level applications, and it degrades the measurement reliability of typical ultrasonic sensors. For this reason, users often pay more for radar sensors to address condensation. Until now.

This video introduces EchoBeam, a new 80 GHz radar level sensor from Flowline. The sensor offers reliable level measurement for liquids and solids, with features like high accuracy, narrow beam, zero deadband, and maintenance-free operation.

When installing an ultrasonic or radar level sensor, the approach depends on your tank type, material, and sensing technology.

This video takes you step by step from deburring a piece of tubing, marking the tubing, making up the fitting, and pressurizing the fitting to show that it only takes one and a quarter turn to properly seal a fitting from leaks.

In this video Rich Wilbur demonstrates how you can use tubing that you can measure, mark, layout, and bend. Check it out!
