What is the main function of a level sensor?
+
The main function is to detect the level of liquids, powders, or granular materials within a container. It monitors the interface between the medium and the air, ensuring tanks do not overflow or run dry, which is critical for safety and automation.
How does a level sensor work?
+
It uses various physical principles: Mechanical sensors (like floats) use buoyancy to trigger a circuit, while Non-contact sensors (like Ultrasonic or Radar) emit waves and use "time of flight" to calculate distance.
Level Transmitter vs. Level Switch: What's the difference?
+
A Level Switch is an "On/Off" trigger for specific points (Full/Empty), whereas a Level Transmitter provides continuous, real-time measurement (e.g., 42% full) via a constant signal like 4-20mA.
Ultrasonic vs. Radar Level Sensor: Which is better for my application?
+
Use Ultrasonic for cost-effective, clean liquid applications in open tanks. Choose Radar for "harsh" environments involving steam, dust, foam, or high pressure, as its electromagnetic pulses are unaffected by air conditions.
What types of level sensors does Filpro Sensors Pvt Ltd manufacture?
+
Filpro specializes in Magnetic Float Switches, Cable Suspended Switches, Conductivity Controllers, Hydrostatic Level Transmitter, Capacitance Level Transmitters Ultrasonic/Radar Transmitters.
How do I choose the right material for my level sensor?
+
Selection depends on chemical compatibility. SS316 is the industry standard for water and oil, but Filpro offers PP (Polypropylene) or Titanium for aggressive acids and corrosive chemicals.
Does Filpro offer customized stem lengths and mounting options?
+
Absolutely. We provide tailor-made solutions including specific stem lengths, various flange sizes (as per standard tables), and flexible side or top mounting configurations to fit your existing infrastructure.
Is Filpro Sensors an ISO-certified manufacturer?
+
Yes, Filpro is ISO 9001:2015 certified, ensuring that all design and manufacturing processes meet international quality and safety standards.
Does Filpro Sensors have a Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?
+
No. We support both single-unit replacement needs and large-scale industrial OEM requirements. We can accommodate any order size.
What is the typical lead time for a custom Filpro level sensor?
+
Standard items are often in stock. Custom-engineered solutions typically have a lead time of 2-3 weeks, depending on the complexity of the materials and total quantity.
How does Filpro ensure the safety of sensors during transit?
+
We use industrial-grade, shock-resistant packaging. Delicate items or long-stem sensors are shipped in reinforced wooden crates to prevent bending or damage during transit.
Does Filpro offer on-site installation support?
+
While our sensors are designed for easy installation, we provide detailed manuals and remote video support. For large-scale projects, on-site commissioning can be arranged.
