Increasing Sensor Reliability through Ultrasonic Transducer Optimization
For any desirable product, reliability is a key component. Reliability, combined with accuracy, performance, quality and cost are what enable a user to establish a product s overall value.
These factors drive decisions, so determining what makes a product reliable and also understanding how the environment and reliability of a product are related is vital. This article outlines the reliability of ultrasonics utilized in chemical level sensing.
It focuses more specifically on how a reliable transducer is key for a well-performing, long-lasting ultrasonic sensor.
Ultrasonics can be selected and used much more effectively in a range of environments, including wastewater and turbulent water, or the chemicals employed with processing – even those once believed to be incompatible with the technology.
Detecting Target Echoes from Uneven Surfaces with Ultrasonic Sensors
Ultrasonic sensors are the preferred choice for a broad range of non-contact distance measuring applications. They are often regarded as the most economical devices for applications like liquid level measurement in tanks.
Ultrasonic sensors are engineered specifically for installation into an NPT threaded hole at the top portion of a tank. These sensors usually lack the ability to detect targets located closer than 4 inches within the face of the transducer.
Several applications present headroom constraints, for example, a drainage tube, where it is preferred to mount a sensor with a thin, small housing that can fit onto the top inner side surface of a container or pipe and quantify the distance to the material inside when it is quite closer than 4 inches within the transducer’s face.
