Operating a Magnetostrictive Level Transmitter

The process of operating a magnetostrictive level transmitter is relatively simple, but it is critical that you learn how it works. This type of level meter uses a flexible wire embedded in a probe tube that is made from a magnetostrictive material. Pulses of current travel through the wire, which causes a magnetic field in the float. A level sensor uses a magnetic float that is magnetized axially. This produces two magnetic fields around the float, which creates a torsion wave traveling along the wire. One wave runs directly to the probe head and the other is reflected to the bottom of the probe tube. When a float is above or below the mark, the torsion wave indicates the corresponding position of the pond.

This type of sensor uses a float that reacts to the magnetic field of the liquid being monitored. A current pulse is sent down the wire and sets up a magnetic field. The float’s magnet interacts with the magnet within the float to produce a signal that corresponds to the level of the liquid. The electronics of a magnetostrictive level transmitter then calculate the volume of the pond or liquid using an intelligent electronic circuit design.

How to Operating a Magnetostrictive Level Transmitter

A magnetostrictive level transmitter can detect even the smallest changes in the liquid’s level in storage or transportation. This makes them extremely valuable for processes that depend on a consistent flow of liquid. Fortunately, magnetostrictive level transmitters can be quite reliable and easy to install. To get started, contact Sino-Inst’s sales engineers for assistance. The LD series rigid rod type liquid level sensor is a sturdy, reliable option that requires little maintenance. Moreover, it does not need calibration or daily maintenance. Its special conductivity and durability makes it highly accurate, even over long distances.

A magnetostrictive level transmitter is a good choice for many applications. It can detect slight changes in liquid levels in storage or transportation. A magnetostrictive level transmitter is ideally suited for processes that require a constant flow of liquid. Besides a reliable sensor, it should be durable and have an easy-to-read LCD display. You should check the durability of your magnetostrictive level transmitter before using it. Its materials should be durable and not easily damage the liquid inside it.

A magnetostrictive level transmitter has a float to measure the level in liquid. A float will create a magnetic field around it. As the current passes through the float, it will interact with a magnet in the holder. The result is a signal that is 4-20mA. The float’s magnet will interact with the wire to measure the level in liquid.
