Float, Level Sensors

The SSV66A35B185SM16 is a device used to measure the level of a liquid or solid in a container, tank or other enclosures. Specifically, the device measures liquid or solid level by detecting the height, length and weight of a buoyant object that is either floating or submerged in the liquid or solid. The device can also detect the presence and absence of a fluid, solid, or slurry from a substrate.

Application Field

The SSV66A35B185SM16 float level sensor has a wide range of applications in various industries such as process management, materials management, petroleum and chemicals. It can be used to measure the level of water, oil, acids, corrosive liquids, corrosive solids, and slurry.

Working Principle

The SSV66A35B185SM16 uses a principle called displacement measurement. A displacement sensor measures the position of a buoyant object relative to a reference point. This reference point is usually the bottom or top of the container in which the liquid or solid is contained.

The sensing element consists of a float on a stem which is free to float within the liquid or partially submerged. The stem is attached to a potentiometer whose movement is proportional to the depth of the float. This displacement measurement is then sent to an interface which translates it into an electrical signal. This signal can then be used as an input to a control system.

The advantage of this device is its flexibility and accuracy. As it is a displacement measuring device, it requires no additional power as no energy is lost in the transmission and reception of the signal. The signal is also very precise and repeatable, which allows for accurate level management.

Conclusion

The SSV66A35B185SM16 Float Level Sensor is a reliable and accurate device that can be used to measure the level of liquid or solid contents in containers, tanks or other enclosures. The device uses a displacement measurement principle which is very flexible and accurate, and allows for efficient level management.
