YLM400 magnetostrictive liquid level transmitter
Multi-parameter precision · micron perception – metrology-grade solution for high-end liquid level measurement
YUNYI magnetostrictive level transmitter adopts magnetostrictive waveguide technology and achieves multi-parameter synchronous high-precision measurement of liquid level, interface and temperature by measuring the position of the magnetic float. When the current pulse propagates in the waveguide tube, it interacts with the magnetic field of the magnetic float to generate torsional stress waves. By precisely calculating the propagation time of the wave, the position of the float is determined, achieving a metrological grade accuracy of ± 0.05%FS. This product is specially designed for high-end storage and transportation scenarios such as petrochemicals and LNG, and is the preferred instrument for trade handover and precise control.
