Level detection on a tank

Requirement
In different tanks such as storage tanks, silo tanks, intermediate storage tanks, mixing tanks, and process tanks the levels have to be monitored.

Implementation
ifm pressure sensors of the PI series are used for the detection of the level and the system pressure.

Customer benefits
The overload resistant and drift-free ceramic measuring cell of highest purity (99.9%) in conjunction with a sealing concept without O-ring ensure maintenance-free and long-term stable operation of the pressure sensor.
