October 19, 2005—Krohne, Inc has introduced the Optisound 3010C, 3020C and 3030C ultrasonic level gauges for level measurement during the processing and storage of liquids.
The Optisound ultrasonic sensors are also well-suited for level measurement of water and wastewater in applications including open basins, sumps and sludge containers, the company says.
The non-contact measuring principle of Krohnes Optisound sensors eliminates product maintenance and provides ease of service, says the company. Short ultrasonic pulses ranging from 35 kHz to 70 kHz are emitted by the transducer to the liquid surface, where they are reflected and received by the transducer.
As Optisound sensors measure the surface of the liquid, the degree of pollution in the water or accumulation of the mud in the basin, for instance, are irrelevant to accuracy of the measurement.
Also included in Krohnes Optisound family of ultrasonic level gauges are the Optisound 3030C, 3040C and 3050C, which are ideal for level measurement during processing and storage of solids in silos, hoppers, conveyer belts and stone crushers, says the company.
Krohne is a worldwide technological leader in the development, manufacture and distribution of accurate, reliable and cost-effective level and flow measurement. For more about the company, visit its Web site.
