| Enrico Bossart | ProductsIf one is looking for a level sensor, one can be quickly overwhelmed by the huge selection. A level sensor for limit level detection or continuous measurement can be ordered in a variety of technologies and design variants. But how do I find the right level sensor for …
How does one specify the switch point of a float switch?
| Enrico Bossart | LevelIn the specification of the switch points of a float switch, misunderstandings always lead to unsuitable product designs. How one correctly specifies the switch point of a float switch will be explained here. The basic prerequisite for the correct specification …
Float switch: What is it and how does it actually work?
| Enrico Bossart | LevelFloat switches are simple, universally applicable and exceptionally reliable. It is not a coincidence that, today, float switches still represent the most frequently used principle for level monitoring. But how does a float switch actually work? Float switches, in …
Economical monitoring of flows using a calorimetric flow switch
| Oleg Greber | FlowAnyone who has dealt with the topic of flow measurement will know that a corresponding measuring instrument costs several thousand euros. If, however, the flow in a pipeline is to be monitored, a flow switch based on the calorimetric measuring principle is a good, …
