Submersible level transmitters are designed to be mounted directly within a liquid container or environment to accurately measure the liquid level. The method of mounting can vary depending on the specific design of the transmitter and the characteristics of the application. Here are some typical mounting methods:
1.Threaded Mounting:
Submersible level transmitters often feature a threaded housing or process connection. This threaded portion matches the threading on the container or vessel where the transmitter will be installed. By screwing the transmitter into the threaded port or flange on the container, a secure and watertight connection is established. This method is widely used due to its simplicity and effectiveness in preventing leaks.
2.Flange Mounting:
Flange mounting involves attaching the submersible level transmitter to a flange that is welded or bolted onto the container. Bolts are used to secure the transmitter and flange together, creating a tight seal. This method is particularly useful when a high level of sealing and stability is required, such as in industrial processes dealing with hazardous or corrosive liquids.
3.Fixed Mounting Bracket:
Some submersible level transmitters come equipped with a fixed mounting bracket. This bracket is affixed to the container's side or top, and the transmitter is hung or suspended within the liquid. This method simplifies installation and provides a secure placement for the transmitter.
4.Flexible Cable Suspension:
Transmitters with flexible cables or rods can be suspended into the liquid from a fixed point above the container. The cable is attached to the transmitter at one end and to a suitable anchor point at the other. This method allows for adjustments in the depth of submersion and is commonly used in applications where the liquid level can vary.
5.Magnetic Mounting:
Magnetic mounting involves placing a strong magnet on the exterior of the container and attaching a compatible magnetic part to the submersible transmitter. The magnetic force holds the transmitter in place through the container wall. This method is useful when drilling or making openings in the container is not desired, and it allows for relatively easy installation and removal.
6.Clamp Mounting:
A clamp or band can be used to secure the submersible transmitter onto the container's exterior. The clamp is tightened around the container, holding the transmitter in place. This method is suitable for situations where drilling holes or other forms of modification are not feasible.
7.Integrated Mounting Flange:
Certain submersible transmitters have a built-in mounting flange or plate. This component can be welded or bolted directly onto the container's wall, providing a robust and permanent attachment point for the transmitter.
8.Tube or Pipe Insertion:
In larger containers or pipes, the submersible transmitter can be inserted through an opening, such as a tube or pipe. The transmitter extends into the liquid through this opening, allowing for measurement at different depths within the container.
9.Submersion in Open Tanks:
For open tanks or reservoirs, the submersible transmitter can be lowered into the liquid using a cable or support mechanism. It's essential to ensure proper orientation and secure attachment to prevent damage or misalignment.
