Electronic sight gauge
What are its uses?
The information from an electronic sight tube can be used to assist with several other intelligent operations. Examples are automatic tank filling, variable agitation control, setting various alarms/notifications, monitoring calibration/application in the field.
How does it work?
The tank is fitted with a vertical tank sensor rod. This stainless-steel rod contains multiple magnetic sensors along its length.
A float with a hole in the centre rides up and down the rod on top of the liquid in the tank. The float contains magnets that trigger the magnetic sensors in the tank rod.
This system can be easily calibrated for tanks of different sizes and shapes as the float sits on top of the liquid and is not affected by the specific gravity of the liquid.
There is a stand-alone screen near the filling point, as well as a screen in the cab to show/ control the volume in the tank.
