By placing gravimetric sensors below and outside the tank, material and environmental effects such as sidewall adhesion, dust, or foam have no influence on your measurements. In addition to providing readings you can trust, this approach also protects the sensors from being damaged or displaced, for example by mixing equipment that vibrates during operation.
Measuring material levels in storage tanks is vital for efficient inventory tracking in many operations. Various types of level sensors can gauge the quantity of material in silos, tanks, bins, or other vessels. While technologies like radar and ultrasonic are tailored to specific substances and conditions, they often face reliability and safety issues. A more dependable and safer method employs the gravimetric principle, which allows sensors to be positioned outside the tank.
Turn Your Measurement Problem On Its Head
Hassle-Free Sensor Selection
Only one type of sensor is needed for any type of medium, which eliminates cumbersome sensor selection. Sensors located outside and away from the tank’s contents have fewer documentation requirements so you can bring your projects to market faster, while the end user benefits from easy and safe sensor replacement with lower maintenance costs.
Integrate Quickly and Easily
The AnyLevel family of level detectors from METTLER TOLEDO offers versatile mechanical interface options to meet your specific requirements. Designed for quick and easy setup, these sensors connect to most systems in just minutes. With simple cabling and robust connectors, you can eliminate complicated wiring, while factory calibration ensures you achieve out-of-the-box accuracy for immediate, reliable measurements.
