Marine Level Transmitter

Marine Level Transmitter

Operating Principle:

A marine level transmitter is a device used to measure the level of liquid in marine applications, such as in tanks or vessels on ships, offshore platforms, or other marine environments. It is designed to withstand the harsh conditions and requirements specific to marine applications.

When selecting a marine level transmitter, several factors need to be considered:

1. Material compatibility: The transmitter should be constructed from materials that are resistant to corrosion and can withstand exposure to saltwater and other marine elements. Common materials used include stainless steel or other non-corrosive alloys.

2. Pressure rating: Marine applications may involve varying pressure conditions, depending on the depth or location of the tank or vessel. The transmitter should have a pressure rating that can handle the specific requirements of the marine environment.

3. Submersible capability: In some cases, the level transmitter may need to be fully submersible, especially for measuring the level of liquids in submerged tanks or compartments. The transmitter should have appropriate sealing and protection to operate reliably underwater.

4. Accuracy and resolution: The accuracy and resolution of the level measurement should be considered to ensure it meets the specific requirements of the marine application. The transmitter should be able to provide precise and reliable measurements even in challenging marine conditions.

5. Electrical interface: The level transmitter should have suitable electrical interfaces for integration with the marine system, such as analog signals (4-20 mA), digital protocols (Modbus, Profibus, etc.), or wireless communication options.
