Liquid Level Sensor

American Sensor Technologies has released the AST45PT liquid level sensor for hydrostatic level and temperature measurement. It provides two independent 4-20mA output signals for a level signal and a temperature signal. Users benefit from a single instrument installation. With submersible cable being one of the more costly options for deeper level requirements, a single measurement point is a cost effective solution. With measurement ranges from 1 PSI (27.68" water column) to 100 PSI (230.67' water column), the sensor appeals to a wide range of applications. The supplier offers five temperature ranges and eight cable length options to make integration simple. Each sensor comes with a removable nose cone. While it is installed on the sensor to protect the sensing element from damage during submersion, users have the option to remove it to access the 1/4" NPT male pressure port. The sensor is designed with a ½" NPT conduit fitting at the electrical connection. Conduit can be installed over the cable to provide rigidity in turbulent tanks or protection from sharp objects.
