Precision Level & Flow Controls

80-GHz Radar, Ultrasonic & Pump Protection

Radar, ultrasonic, pressure, guided-wave, flow meters, switches, and multi-parameter controllers — engineered, specced, and supplied by Liberty to eliminate overflows, protect pumps, automate chemical feed, and give you real-time SCADA visibility.

Direct answer: Precision level and flow control lineups combine radar, ultrasonic, pressure, and guided-wave level sensing with flow meters, low-flow switches, and multi-parameter controllers to eliminate overflows, protect pumps, automate chemical feed, and give real-time SCADA visibility. Technology selection matters because the wrong sensor for the media, geometry, or vapor/foam conditions causes false echoes, dry-run events, and overflow incidents — for example, a thermal low-flow switch provides pump dry-run protection by tripping at an adjustable low-flow threshold (typically 0.04–3 fps) before a pump can run dry and damage itself. Most instruments support 4-20 mA analog output plus HART or Modbus digital protocols for direct SCADA integration.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does level sensor selection matter for chemical tanks?

The wrong technology causes false echoes, dry-run events, and overflow incidents — 80-GHz radar, ultrasonic, pressure, and guided-wave radar each suit different media, geometry, and vapor/foam conditions.

What does a thermal low-flow switch do?

It provides pump dry-run protection by tripping at a low flow threshold (typically 0.04–3 fps, adjustable), shutting down or alarming before a pump runs dry and damages itself.

What output protocols do these level and flow instruments support?

Most instruments in this lineup support 4–20 mA analog output plus HART or Modbus digital protocols for direct SCADA integration.
