How can fill-level measurement be reliably implemented in demanding indoor and outdoor areas?

ou can see a square basin in an industrial plant, filled with clear water.

The continuous monitoring of water levels in shafts or tanks places high demands on sensors, especially in transparent media and humid environments. The article shows how ultrasound sensors in full V4A stainless steel housings deliver precise measured values even in the most difficult weather conditions – and thus ensure interference-free fill-level measurement both indoors and outdoors.

How can the fill level of individual wells in a multiwell plate be checked without contact?

A robot automatically feeds liquids into multiwell plates using several pipettes.

Automatically checking the filling status of individual wells in multiwell plates is often a challenge in laboratory and pipetting applications. The article shows how ultrasonic sensors with soundpipe can reliably distinguish between “empty” and “filled” even in small, conical wells – contactless, robot-compatible and independent of transparency or liquid properties.
