Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Sep 21, 2005

RP level sensors have numerous applications in bulk liquid product industries such as chemical, oil, food processing, waste treatment and shipping.

New from Scientific Technologies, Automation Products Group, is the RP series of custom resistive chain level measurement sensors.

These highly reliable measuring sensors are shock resistive and have an antistick float design.

Users provide specifications based on their particular application, thus enabling the devices to work with precision in a variety of industries.

RP level sensors have numerous applications in bulk liquid product industries such as chemical, oil, food processing, waste treatment and shipping.

Models are available in lengths and materials of construction defined by the user, with a wide variety of available American and international mounting configurations.

The products have been evaluated to the applicable CSA and ANSI/UL standards, for use in general purpose and hazardous locations in Canada and the USA.

The sensors operate with a float that travels up and down a vertical stem.

A permanent magnet inside the float acts on a series of closely set reed switches and resistors inside the stem.

The sensor converts the resistance value into voltage and current signals proportional to the level of the liquid.
