Capacitive Probes: solutions for industrial level control
In industrial environments, accurate level monitoring of liquids and materials is essential to ensure efficiency and safety in production processes. Capacitive probes represent an advanced, non-contact sensing technology designed to measure levels in tanks, silos, and other containers with high precision.
How Do Capacitive Probes Work?
Capacitive probes operate by detecting changes in electrical capacitance caused by the presence of a material near the sensor. Essentially, the system consists of two electrodes separated by a dielectric material—the probe itself and either the tank wall or a reference electrode. The medium being measured acts as the dielectric, and its presence alters the system’s capacitance.
An integrated electronic circuit detects this variation and converts it into an analog or digital output signal, depending on the model.
