Introduction
A level sensor is a device used to detect or measure the level of liquids, powders, or granular materials in tanks, vessels, or silos. It provides either continuous level measurement (pointing out the exact level at all times) or point-level detection (signaling when the material reaches a specific high or low point). Level sensors are essential in industries ranging from water treatment and chemical processing to food production and oil & gas. This article covers the main working principles, key features, advantages, disadvantages, and applications of level sensors.
