Water and Waste
Ultrasonic technology is considered
the traditional non contact method
of level measurement in the water
and wastewater industries
treatment.
The non contact measurement
requires low maintenance, hence
offering a long lasting and cost
effective solution.

Water and Waste

The water plants usually provide a very convenient environment for
ultrasonic level measurement.

Wastewater treatments present a more difficult measurement
environment, with vapors and gases, foam and steam that result in
water condensation.

Ultrasonic level measurement technology is a common method of
measuring flow through an open channel. The sensor measures the
height or head of the liquid as it passes over an obstruction (a flume or
weir) in the channel.

Non contact ultrasonic technology
has been successfully applied on
some of the chemical storage
tanks, where the speed of sound in
the measured material is similar to
the speed of sound in the air
(i.e.,constant) and where the
temperature, pressure, vapors and
steams are less demanding, hence
having no effect on the speed of
sound.
