Is a tuning fork switch suitable for measuring liquid media?
Thread Content
Hello, everyone who enjoys the sea! I was wondering if a tuning fork switch is suitable for measuring liquids (the viscosity of the medium is roughly similar to that of water, the temperature is not too high, ranging from 20 to 80 degrees, and the corrosivity is low; 304 stainless steel for the fork body should be sufficient) Some engineers say that fork switches are suitable for solids (such as dust), but not for measuring liquids. Thank you!
E+H offers fork switches specifically designed for use in the liquid handling industry
What is a tuning fork switch used for, other than with liquids?
For a question like this, I really feel like yelling – what else could a tuning fork switch be used for other than with liquids?
Tuning fork switch, which is used in our units on the steam traps, for liquid media
“The “fork-type level limit switch” is also known as an “electrical float.” It can be used in any situation where a float level switch is employed, as well as in cases where a float level switch cannot be used due to factors such as structure, turbulence, agitation, bubbles, or vibrations”

It works. E+H has tuning fork sensors for measuring both liquids and solids. If you need more information, feel free to message me and I’ll send it to you for free
It can definitely be used, but attention must be paid to the pressure during the process; if the pressure is too high, it’s possible that the fork body won’t be able to lift
