Fluid level Measurement Continuous level transmitter IFM
IFM (short for ifm electronic GmbH) is a manufacturer of industrial automation and sensing equipment, including sensors and transmitters used for fluid level measurement applications.
IFM Continuous Level Transmitter Options:
- Capacitive Level Sensors:
- IFM offers capacitive level sensors that are suitable for continuous level measurement of various liquids, including water, oil, and chemicals.
- Capacitive sensors detect the presence and level of a liquid based on changes in capacitance between electrodes.
- Ultrasonic Level Transmitters:
- IFM ultrasonic level transmitters use ultrasonic waves to measure the distance to the liquid surface and determine the fluid level.
- Suitable for non-contact level measurement of liquids with different densities and properties.
