Ultrasonic Level Transmitter provides reliable, accurate, non-contact measurement of liquid levels. No moving parts. A few applications include water and wastewater, chemical processing, food and beverage.

Questions

Question

Why is the minimum specific gravity important on the float level switches?

Answer

If a medium has a lower s.g. than the rated minimum for a float, the float will sink through the media and the switch will not operate.

Question

Our client has an MBLT pressure transmitter that appears to be malfunctioning due to scale buildup. The transmitter is installed to measure leachate level in a one-year old municipal sanitary landfill. What can we use to remove scale from the transmitter without damaging the transmitter?

Answer

If the issue is due to build-up which consequently plugs the small sensing holes, you might take a look at our PBLT2 or FBLT series. They are both more rugged and designed for sludge and slurries, whereas the MBLT and SBLT2 are better suited for cleaner applications such as ground water and wells.

Question

Is it safe to soak an MBLT level transmitter in vinegar or muratic acid to remove accumulated scale deposits?

Answer

Feel free to use whatever cleaning chemicals you like to remove accumulated scale deposits as long as the chemicals are compatible with the unit’s wetted materials as specified in our published literature.
