Level
Continuous level measurement and point level detection in liquids and bulk solids.
Level
Level measurement includes continuous level measurement and point level detection for liquids and bulk solids in tanks, silos, and movable containers. The objective is stable inventory visibility and reliable safeguarding of processes where level directly impacts product quality, plant safety, and operating efficiency.
A broad range of measurement principles is available for continuous, interface, and density measurement as well as point level detection. Endress+Hauser offerings in this category include radar, guided radar, ultrasonic, capacitance, hydrostatic, conductive, float switch, radiometric, paddle switch, servo, electromechanical, and microwave barrier approaches—enabling fit-for-purpose selection from benign storage to demanding process conditions.
Modern radar level devices extend capability across challenging services such as vapors, temperature gradients, and complex vessel internals, while point level technologies provide robust switching for overfill protection, pump protection, and sequence control. Compact, high-performance instruments are also available, including a compact radar for non-contact measurement and a proven point level sensor, supporting hygienic applications where cleanability and reliable detection are essential.
Typical applications span storage tank inventory, blending and batching vessels, day tanks and surge tanks, chemical reactors, separators (including interface), as well as bulk solids in silos for powders, pellets, and aggregates. In logistics-driven environments, level measurement supports replenishment timing, loss detection, and material accountability across stationary and mobile assets.
Engineering a reliable level point includes evaluating medium properties (dielectric, density, buildup tendency), mechanical design (nozzles, stilling wells, internals), and required functional safety or hazardous-area approvals. Endress+Hauser emphasizes support from planning through commissioning and maintenance to sustain performance at the measuring point over its lifecycle.
