Ring-11 Liquid Level Switch with Gas-tight Leadthrough
The special setting of high-pressure protective gas-tight leadthrough makes Ring-11 High-pressure Liquid Level Switch effectively prevent accidental leakage of high-pressure strong corrosive liquid.
The Ring-11 is a versatile level switch designed for use in all liquids. As a point level sensor with a tuning fork for point level detection, it is specifically engineered for industrial applications across all areas of process technology.
It operates reliably even under challenging conditions such as turbulence, air bubbles, foam generation, build-up, strong external vibration, or fluctuating products.
The gas-tight lead-through version is designed for use in toxic gases, high-pressure, and high-temperature applications. The high-pressure protective gas-tight leadthrough of the Jiwei Ring-11 High-pressure Protection Liquid Level Switch features a glass-metal encapsulation connector that connects the process connection and meter head. The sealing effect is achieved through the cooperation of borosilicate glass and stainless steel, which prevents the fork body from penetrating under high temperature and high pressure over time, protecting the electronic module from exposure to high-temperature liquids. This design also prevents accidental leakage by avoiding the flushing out of the housing.
Furthermore, the high-pressure gas-tight leadthrough also shields the piezoelectric components from moisture, ensuring long-term durability.
This special configuration of the high-pressure protective gas-tight leadthrough allows the Ring-11 High-pressure Liquid Level Switch to effectively prevent the accidental leakage of high-pressure corrosive liquids.
Piezoelectric devices are used to drive vibration and detect changes. When the resonant vibration fork contacts the application medium, its vibration frequency decreases significantly. This reduction in frequency is reflected in the output signal from the piezoelectric detection device. An integrated circuit then analyzes this signal and generates a switch signal in response.
