- Abstract
A simple, low cost liquid level measurement technique for all types of liquids has been proposed in this study. A force resistive sensor has been used to sense the height of liquid level in a storage tank. The force resistive sensor gives the information of the height of liquid level in terms of resistance. The resistance of the sensor corresponding to the height of liquid level is converted into a voltage signal with the help of a resistance to voltage converter. The resistance‐to‐voltage converter output has been passed through signal conditioning circuit and voltage‐to‐current converter to transmit the signal to a remote location like a control room. The theoretical equations explaining the operation of the force resistive sensor for the liquid level have been derived. The whole unit has been designed, fabricated and its function has been studied experimentally. The experimental results are reported in this study. A very good linear characteristic of the proposed transmitter has been observed with very good repeatability and with a very small uncertainty of measurement.
