The intelligent motor drive system of the weight-type level gauge controls the weight attached to the stainless steel cable to descend; it stops descending the moment the weight comes into contact with the surface of the medium, after which the level gauge reverses the direction of rotation of the motor to pull the weight back up. Mechanical measurement – simple and reliable, with strong resistance to dust interference. The range of the weight-type level gauge can reach up to 45.7 meters. It features multiple dust prevention mechanisms, such as dust brushes, air inlets, and isolation of the measurement chamber. It is not affected by the humidity or viscosity of the medium, nor by its dielectric constant, conductivity, or thermal conductivity; it can also be used to measure special liquids such as sludge, pulp, and asphalt (at high temperatures). Precautions for using the weight-type level gauge. During the measurement process, the weight-type level gauge (www.fronlead.com) obtains the level signal through precise measurement by specialized dual-optical sensors, and transmits this level signal as a 4–20mA analog signal, an RS485 signal, or a pulse signal. Let’s take a look at the advantages of weight-type level gauges when it comes to measurement. The electronic unit of these gauges can withstand temperatures as low as -40°C. The isolated and sealed optical sensors prevent contamination by dust and other particles. The patented optical measurement system of weight-type level gauges ensures high accuracy, while their advanced drive motors and heavy-duty steel cables provide strong resistance to stretching forces. The dual optical sensor design enables accurate assessment of the condition of the steel cable, eliminating the need for mechanical braking systems that could cause jamming. The patented winding mechanism ensures no issues with tangled or skipped wires. Comparison with other measuring devices: The weight-type level gauge is particularly suitable for measuring levels in environments with heavy dust. It overcomes the limitation of ultrasonic level gauges, which are unable to penetrate such heavy dust, as well as the problem of dust accumulation at the base of radar level gauge antennas; it is thus the best choice for use in environments with heavy dust. The weight-type level gauge is widely used in harsh environments such as PVC powder silos, cement silos, and power plant ash silos, where it has proven successful and earned high praise from users. That’s all for the overview of the advantages of the weight-type level gauge that we’ve shared with you today. We hope that after reading this, you will have a better understanding of this device.
