Capacitance Level Measurement

Continuous level measurement and point level detection in liquids and solids with capacitance probes

Capacitance level measurement with Liquicap is a simple and cost-effective solution which offers a wealth of possibilities for level monitoring in liquids. Particularly in small tanks and build-up forming media. Point level detection works with Liquicap, Liquipoint, Minicap or Solicap capacitance level switches also in applications involving aggressive media and heavy build-up in liquids and solids.

Capacitance measurement: Measuring Principle

The principle of capacitive level measurement is based on the capacitance change of a capacitor. The probe and the tank wall form a capacitor whose capacitance is dependent on the amount of product in the tank: An empty tank has a lower, a filled tank a higher capacitance.

Benefits

  • Proven and tested measuring principle - robust and safe
  • Universally adaptable probe
  • Reliable operation also in strong build-up formation and viscous media
  • Easy commissioning
