Float, Level Sensors

This paper will be discussing the 5960-2-T-04-E float, level sensor. This application field and working principle will be explained in detail.

Application Field

The 5960-2-T-04-E float, level sensor is a versatile and reliable device used to measure liquid levels in underground tanks, well tanks, and other confined areas. The 5960-2-T-04-E is ideal for applications where reliable measurement of liquid level is needed, such as the monitoring of fuel oil, water, and sewage tanks. The 5960-2-T-04-E float, level sensor is available in either PVC or stainless steel, making it an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Working Principle

The 5960-2-T-04-E float, level sensor operates with a simple mechanical principle. The float, which is attached to a flexible metal rod, is suspended in the liquid and rises to the highest level of the liquid, thus providing accurate measurement. The float contains a potentiometer, which is connected to the electrical circuitry contained within the sensor. As the float moves up and down within the liquid, the potentiometer’s internal resistance changes, thus providing a constant output signal which can be read by the user. The output signal of the float is then used to measure the level of the liquid and is displayed on a visible scale or digital readout.

The 5960-2-T-04-E float, level sensor is designed to be accurate to within +/- 5 mm of the liquid level. The accuracy of the sensor can be improved with the use of a pressure sensor, which increases the accuracy to +/- 2 mm. The 5960-2-T-04-E is designed to have a long service life, with a minimum life expectancy of 10 years.

Conclusion

The 5960-2-T-04-E float, level sensor is a versatile and reliable device used to measure liquid levels in underground tanks, well tanks, and other confined areas. The float, which is attached to a flexible metal rod, is suspended in the liquid and rises to the highest level of the liquid, thus providing accurate measurement. The 5960-2-T-04-E is designed to be accurate to within +/- 5 mm of the liquid level, and can provide a constant output signal which can be read by the user.
