Tuning Fork Level Switch

Suitable for measuring the liquid level of liquids, with a fork body of only 40mm, capable of measuring liquid densities as low as 0.5g/cm³, and process temperatures up to 150℃. This product is mainly applied to:
● LNG liquefied natural gas transportation pipelines (density 0.56g/cm³)
● Raw material storage tanks, tankers, and reaction kettles in the production of chemical fragrances (strongly corrosive, high-temperature liquids)
● Storage tanks for oil, crude oil, gasoline, and lubricating oil
● Configurable via HART handheld operator
● Pipeline liquid level control in pump protection systems

Product Description

Product Overview Product overview

This series of tuning fork level switches is a highly reliable control switch specifically designed for liquid level measurement. The length of the tuning fork is only 40mm, making it suitable not only for liquid level measurement in containers, tanks, and reservoirs but also for measuring liquid levels in narrow spaces such as pipes. At the same time, based on the design principle of detecting the change in vibration frequency when the fork body is immersed in the medium, the fork body is precisely tuned, allowing the product to measure medium densities as low as 0.5g/cm³. It is suitable for measuring the levels of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, alkaline solutions, syrups, medicinal liquids, industrial wastewater, and is particularly suitable for complex measurement scenarios involving high-pressure liquefied gases (such as LNG) as well as foamy, bubbly, viscous liquids and vibration interference.

Product Principle THE PRODUCT PRINCIPLE

This series of tuning fork level switches uses piezoelectric devices to achieve vibration drive and detection of the fork body. When the fork body comes into contact with the liquid being measured, the resonant frequency of the fork body significantly decreases, and the change in vibration frequency is directly reflected in the output signal of the piezoelectric detector. The detection circuit determines the change in frequency and outputs a switch signal.
