Advantages of Float-Type Level Sensors - ATMI

Float-type level sensors offer numerous advantages

Understanding the benefits of float level sensors will help you choose the right level controllers to install in your liquid tanks and solid storage silos. ATMI, the specialist in float-based level control solutions, is here to advise you.

Float-type sensors for level control

Float level sensors are level control systems, also known as level floats, level controllers or, more simply, level gauges. Float level sensors remain the most cost-effective detection system on the market. Indeed, float-type level sensors offer the most economical solution for resolving the vast majority of control issues.

Furthermore, these float level sensors are by far the simplest, safest, most durable and easiest to install.

Key features of float-type level sensors

The float level sensors developed by ATMI for monitoring the levels of both liquids and solids are level measurement devices that can be installed in any type of tank, reservoir or storage silo. Here are some of the advantages of float-type level sensors:

• No maintenance required: Thanks to their anti-clogging, omnidirectional biconical design, ATMI float-type level sensors require no maintenance.
• Precise operation: Thanks to the various types of adjustable external weights available on the cables, these float-type level sensors operate with a high degree of precision. Float-type level sensors are capable of operating across a very wide range of densities.
• Protecting pump service life: ATMI float-type level sensors ensure smooth control thanks to their wide differential angles (depending on the model). *A wide range of devices: ATMI offers a float-type level sensor specifically tailored to every requirement: 20 types of device in 50 versions.
• Choice of cable type: Depending on your applications – PVC, neoprene, HR HY (High Resistance – exclusive to ATMI), EPDM – ATMI offers cables tailored to your needs.
• Customisation of the float: Colours, marking and packaging can be customised on request, subject to order volumes.

Furthermore, the absence of electronics means that these float-type level sensors are unaffected by ionising radiation, a feature that is highly valued by the nuclear industry.
