Wireless level instrument
29 September, 2009 byThe FlexLine wireless radar gauge from Honeywell is an ISA100.11a-ready wireless radar gauge that helps process manufacturers monitor tank levels and prevent hazardous incidents in their plants and terminals.
Vibrating fork limit switches
31 August, 2009 byThe LFV and the LBV vibrating fork limit switches utilise piezoelectric measurement technology and exploit the damping properties of liquids and powdered bulk materials. The electronics of the LFV evaluate frequency changes while, in the case of the LBV, the rise or fall in amplitude determines whether a switching signal is transmitted.

31 August, 2009 byEmerson Process Management has released wireless float switch solutions that combine its Mobrey float switches with the Rosemount 702 wireless discrete transmitter.
Heavy-duty capacitance level switches
30 July, 2009Endress+Hauser have launched Solicap S, a range of extreme-duty, capacitive switches for point level measurement of bulk solids. The range has been designed for the detection of both fine-grained and coarse solids in heavy-duty applications.
Capacitance point level sensor
30 July, 2009The Model CG capacitance point level sensor, from Nohken, provides reliable, simple and cost-effective point level detection of liquids, solids and adhesive conductive media.
New EDDL is guiding radar: interface level made easy
24 July, 2009 by Jonas Berge*Guided wave radar (GWR) level transmitters are ideal for challenging level and interface measurements on liquids, slurries and solids. A new breakthrough technology called electronic device description language (EDDL) integrates GWR level transmitters with intelligent device management software in a way not previously possible.
Radio unit
20 July, 2009Bintech is proud to announce the release of the Pulsar IMP with Radio (R-IMP), designed to be a very cost-effective level monitoring/radio solution.
Guided radar displaces displacer at crude tar plant
29 June, 2009Pungent-smelling, viscous and abrasive, crude tar is the by-product of the coal used in coke ovens in the steel manufacturing process. Given its aggressive chemical properties and high process temperatures, ensuring minimal downtime at a crude tar refining plant can be a challenge.
Vibrating point level switch
25 June, 2009 bySiemens has added the Sitrans LVS100 to its line of vibrating point level switches for high, low or demand levels of dry bulk solids in bins, silos or hoppers.
Tank level switch
25 June, 2009 byThe FLT93 tank level switch from Fluid Components International is now rated for Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 2-compliant service. It has been classified as a Type A subsystem in accordance to IEC 61508-1 with a hardware failure tolerance of 0. The probability of failure on demand (PFD) meets SIL-2 capability standards.
Ultrasonic level sensor
09 June, 2009 byGems Sensors & Controls has launched the UCL-520 ultrasonic level sensor. The UCL-520 Series is suitable for non-contact applications such as industrial water treatment, wastewater management, chemical and petroleum distillates storage as well as many other challenging fluid applications.
Failsafe level alarm relay and probe
11 May, 2009 byMultiTrode has released the SafeSmart level alarm relay and failsafe probe that provides an additional failsafe detection.
Radiometric measurement — at home in extreme process conditions
06 April, 2009 by Simon Rigling*Radiometric measurement, also known as nuclear- or gamma-based measurement, is an extremely reliable and safe, non-invasive solution that is suitable for level limit detection, continuous level measurement, and density and interface layer measurement.
Interface level detection — what to consider
19 March, 2009Compared to standard level measurements in liquids, the detection and measurement of interfaces has its own particular challenges, leaving many interface applications without reliable level measurement. Most popular today are the electronic or non-mechanical solutions with no moving mechanical parts which offer much higher long-term stability and low-maintenance operation.
