A transparent tube is
attached
vertically
adjacent to the vessel
and the liquid height
in the tube is a direct
representation of the
liquid level in the
vessel.

Working principal
In
radiation-based
measurement, a low level
source is safely embedded
into a shielded source holder
with an aperture that emits
focused gamma rays. Process
medium or level changes
progressively
shield
the
electromagnetic
energy
emitted from the source and
received by the detector. This
measured radiation intensity
is directly proportional to the
continuous level, point level,
density or mass flow rate
Open air radar transmits
radio-frequency (RF) energy
to the material surface and
the energy is reflected back,
much with sound waves. A
small portion of the reflected
energy returns to the radar.
This returned energy, which
is called an echo, is processed
to determine the distance to
the material in the bin.
They work by transmitting an
ultrasonic
pulse
of
pressurized air to the surface
of the material in a vessel.
The pulse reflects off the
material and returns to the
sensor in the form of an echo
that is received by a
microphone. The sensor then
sends the measurement data
directly to a control system or
display module,

3D level sensor
There are many other sensors that are used for liquid measurement can be used to measure
level of solids like capacitive and float sensors etc.
