Conductive probes for liquid control
Conductive probes (conductive probes) are a reliable and versatile solution for monitoring and controlling liquid levels in industrial applications. These devices utilise the electrical properties of fluids to precisely detect their presence and measure their height inside tanks and cisterns.
Principle of Operation of Conductive Probes
Conductive probes are based on a simple but effective measuring principle. Their operation uses the electrical conductivity of the liquid to be monitored to detect its presence and level within the container.
When the conductive liquid comes into contact with the electrodes, an electrical circuit is created that is detected by the control unit. Based on which electrodes are immersed, it is possible to determine the liquid level accurately.
The simplest probes use two electrodes to detect a single level (full/empty), while more advanced models employ 3-5 electrodes to monitor multiple levels simultaneously.
