Principles of Good Measurement: Level Switching     

 

LEVEL SWITCHING 

Another important control to have in place, for every industry, is the knowledge of when to start and when to stop a process.  If you are emptying, filling, controlling or protecting processes, then you need a reliable and secure level switching solution. 

 Obviously having these switching systems in place is paramount, as any failures, or unnoticed failures, in the aforementioned processes (emptying, filling, controlling and protecting) will cost valuable money and even in some cases affect the environment. 

 It is very important for the correct level switching instrument to be chosen, as there will be a few factors that will influence what switching system you require, like whether there are chemicals involved in the process, or whether it’s a liquids or solids application.   Once again, other considerations in your choice of level switch instrument will include whether there are high pressures, temperatures, build up, foam, dust, vapours, or stirrers.
