Point sensing level probes only sense tank level at a discrete level. Point sensing probes
are typically used for high-high or low-low level sensing to prevent plant personnel and/or
process equipment from being exposed to harmful conditions. Point level probes are also
used in pairs in processes in which we do not particularly care what the exact level in a
tank is, only that it is between two points.
Continuous level probes sense the tank level as a percent of span of the probes
capabilities. Continuous level probes are typically used where we need some type of
inventory control, where we need to know with some degree of confidence what the
particular level in a tank is.
6 5.3. Level Measurements
The advantages of motorized level switches are that they are not affected by
dust and can operate at high temperatures. Rotor pedals are one of the oldest
level sensors. These sensors stand out with their easy-to-use, reliable and
applicability for level measurement of all types of dry bulk (sawdust, grain, pulses,
etc.).
While the shaft can rotate easily, there is no contact with the material. When
the pedals come into contact with the material, the shaft slows down or comes to
a complete stop.
More advanced models not only detect the presence or absence of material, but
also warn the user in case of electrical connection failure or power outage.
