Float, Level Sensors : MS10B Application Field and Working Principle

Float level sensors, specifically the MS10B model, are a type of device used to measure liquid levels, for example, in industrial process control and component manufacturing. This sensor makes use of the buoyancy forces which are naturally present in liquid, and is usually applied in tanks, silos, and other similar cavities. It consists of two main components: the float and the switch. The float is a closed chamber which contains a liquid, usually water. The switch is attached to the float and when the float moves up and down with the rise and fall of the liquid, it activates the switch.

The float of an MS10B works by utilizing the principles of buoyancy forces. It has a weight attached to it and when placed in a liquid, the weight causes an equal and opposite reaction against the bottom and sides of the float, resulting in the float feeling a buoyancy force. This same principle is applied in the switch attached to the float, so that when the buoyancy force is high, the switch is momentarily activated which causes the device to send an electrical signal.

The application field for an MS10B float level sensor is quite varied, including the food, beverage, petrochemical, and sanitary industries. In food and beverage production, the sensor can be used to measure the liquid level in vessels used for the fermentation of beer, wines, and other alcoholic beverages. In the petrochemical industry, the sensor can be used to measure the fluid level of tanks used in the processing and refining of petroleum and petrochemicals, helping to ensure that the process runs at the correct level. And in sanitary applications, the sensor can help to monitor the levels of water and wastewater tanks.

The working principle of the MS10B float level sensor is relatively simple, but it is effective and reliable. The float moves up and down with the changes in liquid level, thus activating the switch, which in turn sends an electrical signal. The sensor can be used to regulate the level of a liquid in almost any type of tank, thereby avoiding the risk of overflow and enabling accurate precision levels to be achieved. This makes the sensor extremely suitable for a variety of industries where accuracy and safety are of the utmost importance.

The MS10B float level sensor is an extremely reliable device, and its uses can range from food and beverage production, through to industrial process control and component manufacturing. Its simple design and working principle makes it suitable for the measurement of fluid levels in almost any type of tank, and its accuracy and reliability enable accurate and safe operation when the correct level must be maintained.
