8026 coaxial sheath type Capacitive Level Sensor
The sensing part of the 8026 coaxial sheathed Capacitive Level Sensor is a coaxial container. When liquid enters the container, it causes a change in capacitance between the sensor housing and the sensing electrode. This change is converted by the circuit and accurately Linear and temperature compensation, output 4-20mA standard signal to display instrument.
8026 coaxial sheath type Capacitive Level Sensor is suitable for measuring various non-conductive liquids. It has strong anti-interference ability. This kind of liquid level sensor is an ideal choice in situations where the liquid level fluctuates greatly.
capacitive level sensor working principle
Capacitive Level Sensor measures the level of liquid level by measuring changes in capacitance. It is a metal rod inserted into a liquid container. The metal rod serves as one pole of the capacitor, and the container wall serves as the other pole of the capacitor.
The medium between the two electrodes is the liquid and the gas above it. Since the dielectric constant ε1 of the liquid is different from the dielectric constant ε2 on the liquid surface, for example: ε1>ε2. When the liquid level rises, the total dielectric constant value between the two electrodes of the capacitive level meter increases. Therefore the capacitance increases. On the contrary, when the liquid level drops, the ε value decreases and the capacitance also decreases.
Therefore, the Capacitive Level Sensor can measure the unevenness of the liquid level through changes in the capacitance between the two electrodes. The sensitivity of the capacitive level meter mainly depends on the difference between the two dielectric constants, and only the stability of ε1 and ε2 can ensure accurate liquid level measurement. Because the measured medium is conductive, the metal rod electrodes are covered with an insulating layer .
Capacitive Level Sensor is small in size and easy to implement remote transmission and adjustment. It is suitable for liquid level measurement of corrosive and high-pressure media.
capacitive level sensor Applications
Capacitive level sensors can be used for continuous level measurement of almost all strong and weak corrosive-resistant media and non-corrosive media in open or pressure vessels.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Capacitive Level Sensor
Capacitive Level Sensor is a commonly used liquid level measuring instrument with the following advantages and disadvantages:
Advantages:
- High accuracy: Capacitive liquid level gauge can achieve high measurement accuracy.
- Wide measuring range: Capacitive liquid level meter is suitable for measuring the liquid level of different liquids and different media, and has a wide measuring range.
- Can monitor in real time: Capacitive liquid level meter can monitor liquid level changes in real time and feedback liquid level information in time.
- No direct contact with the liquid is required: Capacitive level gauges measure liquid level through changes in capacitance between electrodes on the container wall and the liquid. No direct contact with liquid is required, thus avoiding material corrosion and contamination issues.
Disadvantages:
- Affected by the properties of the liquid: Capacitive liquid level gauges have higher requirements for the dielectric constant of the liquid. When the dielectric constant of the liquid changes greatly, the measurement results may be affected.
- High installation requirements: The installation requirements of the capacitive liquid level meter are high, and it is necessary to ensure the insulation performance between the electrode and the liquid, and the good contact between the electrode and the container.
- Affected by the environment: The measurement results of the capacitive liquid level gauge are affected by factors such as ambient temperature and humidity, and require corresponding compensation or correction.
- Higher cost: Compared with other liquid level measurement methods, capacitive level sensors are more expensive and may not be economical and practical for some low-cost applications.
