How to Choose the Right Level Transmitter? A Practical Guide to Continuous Level Measurement Technologies

Level meter /

1. What Is Continuous Level Measurement? Continuous level measurement is the process of real-time monitoring of the level of liquids, powders, or bulk solids in tanks, vessels, or silos. Unlike point level measurement—which only detects high or low level thresholds—continuous level sensors provide precise readings throughout the full measurement range. Industries such as chemical processing,

Comprehensive Guide to Instrumentation Cable Selection in Chemical Plants

Instrumentation /

1. Key Selection Criteria and Technical Rationale 1.1 Cable Type Selection Shielding Configuration Analog Signals (AI/AO): Use double shielding (individual + overall shield). Reason: Analog signals are highly susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Double shielding effectively isolates external noise and ensures signal accuracy. Digital Signals (DI/DO): Use single shielding in general environments; double shielding in
