PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Ultrasonic level metering is based on the principle of
measuring the time required for the ultrasonic pulse to travel
from sensor to the surface of the liquid and then back. The
ultrasonic sensor emits an ultrasonic pulse train and receives
the echos reflected from the liquid surface. The received
signal is processed by selecting the echo reflected by the
liquid surface and calculating the time of flight, the distance to
the liquid surface is measured.
APPLICATION
The Model 136 Ultrasonic Level Indicator Transmitter is
specially designed to provide convenience of non-contact
measurement of Level. Open channel Flow, Volume,
percentage Volume can be derived from level through the
software by simple strap entry. Percentage Level may also be
displayed. Sophisticated design and rugged construction
guarantees no maintenance. LCD Display visible in bright
sunlight.
