The SS Diaphragm Level Switch is a reliable and durable device designed for liquid level detection in various applications. Constructed from stainless steel, this switch features a flexible diaphragm that responds to changes in liquid level. As the liquid level rises or falls, it exerts pressure on the diaphragm, which activates the switch mechanism to indicate the level condition.
This type of level switch is particularly effective in environments where cleanliness and corrosion resistance are critical, such as food and beverage processing, pharmaceuticals, and chemical industries. Its robust design and versatility make the SS Diaphragm Level Switch an ideal choice for ensuring accurate and reliable level measurement in tanks, vessels, and other containers.

The SS Diaphragm Level Switch operates on the principle of pressure sensing via a flexible diaphragm. As the liquid level in a tank or vessel rises or falls, it exerts pressure on the diaphragm. This pressure change causes the diaphragm to flex, which in turn activates a mechanical switch mechanism.
When the diaphragm is deflected by the liquid, it either opens or closes the electrical contacts within the switch, sending an output signal to indicate the level condition. The switch can be configured to trigger at predetermined high or low levels, making it suitable for various applications.
This design ensures reliable and accurate level detection while maintaining a sealed and hygienic environment, making the SS Diaphragm Level Switch ideal for use in food processing, pharmaceuticals, and other industries requiring stringent cleanliness and safety standards.
