Acid Chemical Feed Tank Ultrasonic Level Measurement

When a Northeast helicopter manufacturer needed reliable level measurement of their acid day tanks, they turned to Flowline. The firm machines, cleans and finishes metal parts to client specifications with acids and solvents. Their acid process is supplied by three day tanks that refill from outside bulk storage tanks. The maintenance team was dissatisfied with prior Teflon float level sensors that corroded and burned up pumps. They needed reliable level measurement with intrinsic safety due to the acid tanks proximity to flammable solvents. For these reasons, Flowline suggested our intrinsically safe US01 ultrasonic sensor that’s non-contact and constructed of PVDF. The ultrasonic sensors provide reliable level data to the PLC, which monitors and refills the day tanks. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
