Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Level Sensor/Indicator

Definition
A component of a condensate collection vessel that monitors the accumulated condensate level, providing real-time measurement and indication to prevent overflow, ensure proper drainage, and maintain system efficiency in industrial processes.
Working Principle
Operates by detecting changes in physical properties (such as pressure, capacitance, or optical reflection) caused by the presence of condensate, converting these changes into electrical signals that are processed to determine the liquid level and displayed on an indicator.
Common Materials
Stainless Steel, Polypropylene, Glass
Technical Parameters
  • Measurement range of the liquid level (mm) Customizable
Components / BOM
  • Probe/Sensing Element Part
    Directly interacts with the condensate to detect level changes
    Material: Stainless Steel
  • Transmitter
    Converts the sensor's raw signal into a standardized output signal
    Material: Aluminum Alloy
  • Indicator Display
    Visually shows the current liquid level, often with LEDs or a digital readout
    Material: Polycarbonate
  • Mounting Hardware Part
    Secures the sensor/indicator to the condensate collection vessel
    Material: Stainless Steel

Reliability & Engineering Risk Analysis

Failure Mode & Root Cause
Sensor fouling or coating
Cause: Accumulation of process material (e.g., slurry, scale, wax) on sensing elements, leading to inaccurate readings or complete failure.
Electronic component failure
Cause: Exposure to harsh environments (moisture, temperature extremes, vibration) or power surges damaging circuitry or connections.
Maintenance Indicators
  • Erratic or inconsistent level readings compared to known process conditions
  • Complete loss of signal or persistent alarm state despite normal process levels
Engineering Tips
  • Implement regular cleaning schedules appropriate for the process medium to prevent buildup on sensing surfaces
  • Ensure proper environmental protection (enclosures, seals, mounting) and use surge protection on power/ signal lines

Compliance & Manufacturing Standards

Reference Standards
ISO 4266-1:2022 (Petroleum and natural gas industries - Level gauges) ANSI/ISA-5.1-2009 (Instrumentation Symbols and Identification) EN 60529:1991 (Degrees of protection provided by enclosures - IP code)
Manufacturing Precision
  • Level measurement accuracy: +/-1% of full scale
  • Repeatability: +/-0.5% of measured value
Quality Inspection
  • Hydrostatic pressure test (to verify sealing integrity)
  • Functional accuracy verification (using calibrated reference standards)
