The Miniature Fork Level Sensor for liquids is a compact, high-precision device designed to provide reliable level detection in various liquid applications. Utilizing a fork-shaped sensing element, the sensor vibrates at a specific frequency when not in contact with the liquid. Upon immersion, the added mass alters the vibration frequency, triggering a switch to indicate the liquid level.
This sensor is particularly effective in small tanks, pipes, and other confined spaces where traditional sensors may not fit. It is compatible with a wide range of liquids, including water, chemicals, and oils, making it suitable for industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and chemical manufacturing. With its robust construction and minimal maintenance requirements, the Miniature Fork Level Sensor ensures accurate monitoring and enhances operational efficiency in liquid handling processes.
