Material level gauge and liquid level gauge are instruments and equipment that measure the height or level of materials or liquids. The main difference between the two lies in the scope of application and measurement principle.

[Scope of application]: Material level meters are mainly used to measure the height or level of solid or bulk materials (such as powders, granules, granules, etc.). Liquid level gauges are mainly used to measure the height or level of liquids (such as water, oil, chemicals, etc.).

[Measurement principle]: Common measurement principles of material level meters include ultrasonic, radar, infrared, capacitance, back pressure, level difference, etc. Common measurement principles of liquid level gauges include float, pressure transmitter, capillary tube, resonance, differential pressure, etc.

[Material status]: Since the material level meter is mainly used to measure solid or bulk materials, it has certain requirements for the properties and particle size of the materials. The liquid level gauge is suitable for measuring liquids, and there are not many restrictions on the nature and state of the material.

Installation method: The material level meter is generally installed on the side or top of the material container, and [measures height] by sending wireless signals or touching the surface of the material. Level gauges can measure liquid level by immersion, insertion, side wall mounting or by measuring the outer surface of the container.

Can material level gauges and liquid level gauges be used interchangeably?

Yes, some level gauges can also be used to measure the height of bulk materials, and some level gauges can also be used to measure the height of liquids. For example, some level gauges use ultrasonic, radar or infrared measuring principles and can be used to measure liquids. The height; at the same time, some liquid level meters use floats, pressure transmitters or resonance measurement principles, and can also be used to measure the height of solid or bulk materials. Whether it can be used universally depends on the specific equipment model and measurement principle. Therefore, when selecting appropriate equipment, the selection should be based on actual application requirements and material properties.
