Ultrasonic sensor based material level and liquid level measurement technology

Abstract

In order to accurately and efficiently apply ultrasonic measurement technology to the fields such as industry, materials and liquid levels to realize the factual measurements of measured objects, the present measuring technology based on ultrasonic waves is analyzed and researched. The measurement principles, hardware selection and calibration, and data transmission and acquisition of the ultrasonic waves are detailedly introduced. By adopting the ultrasonic measurement technology to detect and analyze the raw oil liquid level of an oilfield oil storage tank, the results show that the ultrasonic measurement technology has the characteristics of high measuring accuracy, safe and reliable operation, low cost, etc. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
