Product Description
A vibrating fork level switch, also known as a tuning fork level switch, works by detecting changes in the vibration of a tuning fork when it comes into contact with a liquid or solid material. The fork vibrates at its natural frequency when in air, but this frequency changes when the fork is immersed in a material. This change in frequency is detected by the switch's electronics, which then trigger a switching action to indicate the material's presence
FAQs of Vibrating Fork Level Switch
Q: What industries use it?
A: They are widely used in various industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and wastewater treatment.
Q: What are common applications?
A: Some common applications include overflow or run-dry protection, high and low-level alarms, and pump control.
Q: What are the wetted parts made of?
A:Wetted parts are typically made of stainless steel (SS304 or SS316) for durability and corrosion resistance.
Q: What is the typical operating temperature range?
A: The operating temperature range can vary, but some switches can operate up to 200C.
Q: What is the typical pressure range?
A: They can handle various pressure ranges, with some designed for up to 10 kg/cm.
Q: What are the different mounting options?
A: They can be side-mounted or top-mounted, with various thread and flange options for connection.
Q: What are the typical fork lengths?
A: Fork lengths can vary, with shorter lengths (e.g., 100mm) providing faster switching times and longer lengths (e.g., 155mm) designed for more amplitude of oscillation.
