Useful Level Measurement Abbreviations

Some Useful Level Measurement Abbreviations & What They Mean

 

I will come back and  update this post, as and when I find more abbreviations relating to level measurement, pressure, density and switching.  Maybe I’ve missed some that you can think of  (as a test), in which case you can let me know by leaving a comment so I can update the post!
