The drum level gauge is a cost-competitive, non-contact continuous liquid level drum gauge. Designed for use on vertical drums (= 32” depths) storing a wide variety of media such as water, waste water, motor oil, hydraulic fluid and diesel fuel. It uses ultrasonic technology to generate a high-frequency sound wave and measures the time for the echo to reflect off the target fluid’s surface and return. Distance from the Digital Fluid-Trac’s sensor to the liquid is calculated based on the speed of sound.
