Hi all,
i have an application in which i need to read the water level in a 1 1/2" diameter tube that is 24 in. tall. the sensor will be mounted on top of the tube and the water level will be approx. 6in. below it. the 6" level is the tank full setting and 8 to 10 in. lower will be the tank low and empty setting.
where i am having an issue is because the water is heated to 200 degrees F and there is steam in the tube.
i have tried an ifm ultrasonic sensor which worked for a while, but is now reading the steam and giving readings all over the place because the building is not as hot because of the fall weather.
does anyone have a sensor they have used or any suggestions?
thank you in advance,
james
