RSF44Y100RF

Float level sensors are a type of sensing device used to measure the level of liquid within a tank or other container. Specifically, the RSF44Y100RF sensor is a type of pressure transducer float level sensor, meaning it uses a pressure transducer to measure the hydrostatic pressure created in a liquid container by a float level floats. The pressure transducer converts this liquid level into an electrical signal which can be read by a control system or other instrument. The RSF44Y100RF sensor comes in either a single stage or dual stage version, each of which operates on the same principles.

Working Principle

At the core of the RSF44Y100RF float level sensor is the pressure transducer. This transducer is composed of a housing, a seating, a diaphragm and a pressure-sensing element. The pressure-sensing element detects the hydrostatic pressure created as the float level along the surface of the liquid. As the level of the liquid rises or falls in the container, the pressure-sensing element registers the movement of the liquid and sends a signal to the controller.

The controller then interprets this signal and, depending on the application, either processes it directly or triggers an output or other response. The output from the controller may be in the form of a switch closure, a voltage change, a current output, etc. In a dual stage float level sensor, two separate pressure-sensing elements are used to measure both the liquid level and the temperature.

Application Fields

Float level sensors are widely used for a variety of applications. The RSF44Y100RF is used in many industrial and commercial applications where precise and reliable liquid level measurement is required. These applications include tank level monitoring, pump control, level control systems, liquid dispense systems, oil and gas production, and water treatment plants, among others. In addition, it is often used in HVAC systems to detect liquid levels and trigger alarms or other automated responses when necessary.

Float level sensors are typically used in applications where the total operating range, pre-filling level, and safety shutoffs are important. They are also often used in applications where the accuracy of measurement is critical, such as in tank gauges, and can be used with hazardous or volatile liquids, such as acid or gasoline. In general, the RSF44Y100RF is the ideal float level sensor for measuring both liquid level and temperature in a wide variety of applications.
