Continuous fill-level monitoring

How does fill-level monitoring work?

Fill-level monitoring is required in a large number of areas, whether it be for the continuous checking of fluids available, for safeguarding systems, as a refill indicator or for calculating the number of possible cycles.

Reed sensors continuously measure the exact fill level. Our sensors are used in a wide range of sectors where quality, reliability and continuity are all in demand.

0–100% fill-level monitoring

With fill-level monitoring, you can measure the current fill level within a specified grid. This means that you are constantly informed about the current volume of residual fluid in your tank or canister. You can also install additional low-level and full indicators as well as temperature switches.

Examples of fill-level monitoring applications

The sensors are designed to save space and can be customised to fit the size of the container in question. This, coupled with their resistant construction, makes them a reliable option for use in confined spaces and in abrasive media, such as in the areas of medical or laboratory diagnostics.

Data determined by the sensors provide information on when the next refill is to be expected and, if needed, can reorder the necessary fluids as part of a fully automated process.

One of our long-standing customers has been using our sensor in 30% hydrochloric acid in his laboratory for more than seven years, without interruption. He told us that all of the other material in the acid has since dissolved – everything except our sensor, which is still working flawlessly and consistently.

Continuous fill-level monitoring is used in the following sectors, for example

Chemical industry

Reliable and resistant sensors and materials are of essential importance in the chemical industry. Our sensors are available in a wide range of materials and can therefore be used in a large number of applications – including in abrasive media such as 30% hydrochloric acid, chlorine or various cleaning agents.

Biotech and laboratory technology

The areas of biotech and laboratory technology are subject to stringent working conditions in relation to safety, resistance and precision. We have many years of experience with applications in this area and would be pleased to provide you with competent advice.
