Float Level Transmitters

1 product

The Float Level Transmitters collection features mechanically reliable devices that use a buoyant float to indicate liquid levels. These transmitters convert float movement into a continuous output signal for real-time level tracking. Their simple yet robust construction makes them well-suited for industrial, water treatment, and environmental applications. Offering easy installation and low power consumption, float transmitters deliver dependable and cost-effective level monitoring over extended operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Unlike a switch that only detects a single point, a transmitter provides continuous level monitoring throughout the entire height of the tank. It converts the float's position into a constant electrical signal, such as 4-20mA, allowing for precise tracking of liquid volume in real-time.

These transmitters are commonly constructed from high-grade stainless steel or specialized plastics like PVC and PP to withstand various environments. This variety ensures they can be safely used in everything from potable water and food processing to aggressive chemical storage and fuel tanks.

Yes, most models are designed to communicate directly with PLCs, SCADA systems, or digital indicators via standard industrial protocols. This integration allows for automated pump control, high-level alarms, and remote inventory management from a centralized control room.

Magnetic designs isolate the electrical components from the liquid, which significantly reduces the risk of leaks and sensor failure. This non-contact sensing method provides high reliability and long-term stability, even in pressurized vessels or turbulent liquid conditions.

Transmitters are often customized to match the specific depth of your vessel, with mounting options including top-entry flanges or threaded connections. Selecting the correct probe length ensures the float can travel the full range of the tank for accurate "empty to full" readings.

Calibration verifies that the output signal accurately corresponds to the physical liquid level, accounting for any electronic drift or installation variances. HK Calibrations provides traceable calibration services to ensure your volume readings remain precise for billing, safety, and inventory purposes.
