FAQs of Vibrating Fork Level Switch:
Q: How does the vibrating fork level switch detect liquid levels?
A: The switch uses a vibrating fork sensor that changes its vibration frequency when immersed in liquid. This frequency shift is detected by the electronics, triggering the relay or output signal to indicate the presence or absence of liquid at the set level.
Q: What are the benefits of using 316L stainless steel for the fork and housing?
A: 316L stainless steel offers excellent resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and high temperatures, ensuring long-term durability and reliable operation even in aggressive industrial environments.
Q: Where can this vibrating fork level switch be installed?
A: The switch can be installed in tanks, vessels, or pipelines for liquid level control. It supports both threaded and flanged connections (such as 1 BSP/NPT), making it suitable for various industrial setups in sectors like chemical, water treatment, and food processing.
Q: What process conditions can it handle?
A: It operates effectively at pressures up to 40 bar, with a temperature range from -40C to +150C. Its insulation and housing ensure safe performance under tough and fluctuating process conditions.
Q: How do I choose the correct output type for my application?
A: Select SPDT relay or SPST relay output for standard switching, PNP for direct PLC input, or Namur for intrinsically safe circuits in hazardous areas. This choice depends on your control systems input requirements and safety standards.
Q: What is the typical response time of the device?
A: The vibrating fork level switch delivers a rapid response of less than one second, ensuring near-instantaneous liquid level detection and control.
Q: What maintenance is required for this vibratory fork switch?
A: The switch is designed for low maintenance, thanks to its polished stainless steel surface and robust construction. Periodic inspections for buildup or residue are recommended to maintain sensing accuracy, especially in viscous or sticky liquids.
