Continuous level measurement and point level detection in liquids and solids with capacitance probes.
Capacitance level detectorsalso known as Capacitance level transmitter, are also referred to as radio frequency (RF) or admittance level sensors. They operate in the low MHz radio frequency range, measuring admittance of an alternating current (ac) circuit that varies with level. Capacitance level sensors are a proved, as well as a cost-effective solution for level measurement, and point level detection in liquids and bulk solids. Various transmitters for continuous level measurement and switches, for point level detection are available. The measurement of the interface is also possible. The measuring principle is proven in millions of applications.
Sino-Inst offers a variety of Capacitance Level Transmitters for level measurement. If you have any questions, please contact our sales engineers.

Capacitance measurement: Measuring Principle
The principle of capacitive level measurement，
is based on the capacitance change of a capacitor.
The probe and the tank wall form a capacitor,
whose capacitance is dependent on the amount of product in the tank:
An empty tank has a lower, a filled tank a higher capacitance.
A simple capacitor consists of two electrode plate,
separated by a small thickness of an insulator,
such as solid,
liquid, gas, or vacuum.
This insulator is also called as dielectric.
Value of C depends on dielectric used,
area of the plate and also distance between the plates.
Where:
C = capacitance in picofarads (pF)
E = a constant known as the absolute permittivity of free space
K = relative dielectric constant of the insulating material
A = effective area of the conductors
d = distance between the conductors
This change in capacitance can be measured using AC bridge.
