Overview
ST-H transducers use ultrasonic technology to measure level in
chemical storage and liquid tanks.
Benefits
Can be mounted on a narrow standpipe
Immune to corrosive and harsh environments
Integral temperature sensor
Application
The narrow design of the ST-H allows the transducer to be mounted
on a narrow standpipe. When mounted correctly, it is completely
protected from the process and can even be used in harsh, corros
ive environments.
During operation, the ultrasonic transducer emits acoustic pulses in
a narrow beam perpendicular to the transducer face. The level
transceiver measures the propagation time between pulse emission
and reception of the echo to calculate the distance from the trans
ducer to the material. Variations in sound velocity due to changes in
temperature within the permissible range are automatically com
pensated by the integral temperature sensor.
Key Applications: chemical storage, liquid tanks
