Piezometric Level Meter

The piezometric level meter is used for the monitoring controls of water levels of small or large structures and is available in different measuring ranges, suited to all types of application.

Accurate and reliable; by due to its characteristic, it requires some precautions adaptation for use installation in gutters drainage channels in dynamic conditions.

This piezometric level measuring system replaces the ultrasonic meter improving its performance and reaching higher measuring ranges, up to 70 m of water column.

Applications

Typical applications for this instrument are the measurement of water levels in:
•reservoirs
•tanks
•dams
•rivers
•channels
•wells
•various other

Features and Benefits

•wide variety of measuring ranges
•simplicity of installation
•accuracy and reliability
•high resolution and repeatability
•direct reading of data
•adaptability to different installation requirements
•readable outputs 4-20mA for standard measuring instruments
•robust and durable
•high resolution and sensitivity

Measuring Principle

Measurement of the level is obtained by determining the hydrostatic pressure that is the hydrostatic level acting on the piezometric sensor membrane.
The output signal is transmitted via cable to a local manual or automatic readout unit and, if automatic, transmitted from there to a remote control central unit.
The simplicity and ease of use of the sensor allow it to be used in various applications, suitable for many requirements, to realize different applications, specific to each individual need.
System composition:

Piezometric level meter for external use, by direct immersion, no more accessible after installation
The fitting can be straight or angled; the device can be with locked or removable sensor.

Piezometric level meter for internal use, with pressure taking group and sensor always accessible.
Installation is generally in dam tunnels or on the outside of tanks, with the realization of a direct taking pressure group .The sensor is supplied in protective casing with taking pressure group, siphon and auxiliary Bourdon type manometer .
