Tuning fork level switch
Application:
The Tuning Fork Level Switch, also known as a Guided Wave Radar Level Meter, is a valuable instrument widely utilized across various industries to measure the level of liquid or solid materials in tanks, vessels, and silos. It excels in applications involving complex surface features or conditions, low dielectric constants, and high temperatures or pressures. The tuning fork level switch provides reliable point level detection, making it suitable for high/low level alarms and pump control in industrial processes. Its capabilities are particularly advantageous in challenging process conditions, as it remains unaffected by conductivity or dielectric constant variations.
