| trilvork vibrating fork Explanation: See my discussion entry. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 mins (2016-07-16 09:25:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Rosemount vibrating fork switches are used to detect liquid level for high and low level alarms, overfill prevention, pump control, and hygienic applications. They are immune to changing process conditions and provide easy installation with no calibration required." (http://www2.emersonprocess.com/en-us/brands/rosemount/level/... ) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 mins (2016-07-16 09:27:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Vibrating Fork Level switches utilize a piezoelectric-driven tuning fork that exhibits a large change in resonant frequency when immersed into a liquid or bulk solid process." (http://new.abb.com/products/measurement-products/level/vibra... ) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 mins (2016-07-16 09:27:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- synonym: tuning fork -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 mins (2016-07-16 09:30:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- and some info on interlocks in connection with vibrating/vibronic/tuning forks: "E.g. contact manometer, tuning fork/vibronic fork … " (https://prezi.com/ar4wcolxhg0c/interlock-diagrams/ ) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2016-07-16 13:36:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Fail safe self monitoring level switch If you want to detect liquid level directly with a switch, or you have an existing float switch, you could consider an upgrade to a more secure ‘fail safe’ device. A tuning fork level switch uses a vibrating element to detect liquid level by monitoring the change in vibration frequency when immersed in a liquid. It can be mounted in any orientation and supplied at various lengths in a range of materials. A tuning fork vibrating level switch will work on a range of changing densities, pressures and temperatures, with the new, latest generation vibrating switches capable of liquid specific gravities." (http://www.offshore-europe.co.uk/__novadocuments/103289?v=63... ) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2016-07-16 18:22:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- aka "tuning-fork style (vibration sensor)" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_sensor#Vibrating_point ) |

| Reference: FWIW: level sensors Reference information: Level sensors detect the level of liquids and other fluids and fluidized solids, including slurries, granular materials, and powders that exhibit an upper free surface. Substances that flow become essentially horizontal in their containers (or other physical boundaries) because of gravity whereas most bulk solids pile at an angle of repose to a peak. The substance to be measured can be inside a container or can be in its natural form (e.g., a river or a lake). The level measurement can be either continuous or point values. Continuous level sensors measure level within a specified range and determine the exact amount of substance in a certain place, while point-level sensors only indicate whether the substance is above or below the sensing point. Generally the latter detect levels that are excessively high or low. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_sensor Vibrating point These detect levels of very fine powders (bulk density: 0.02 g/cm3 – 0.2 g/cm3), fine powders (bulk density: 0.2 – 0.5 g/cm3), and granular solids (bulk density: 0.5 g/cm3 or greater). With proper selection of vibration frequency and suitable sensitivity adjustments, they can also sense the level of highly fluidized powders and electrostatic materials. Single-probe vibrating level sensors are ideal for bulk powder level. Since only one sensing element contacts the powder, bridging between two probe elements is eliminated and media build-up is minimized. The vibration of the probe tends to eliminate build-up of material on the probe element. Vibrating level sensors are not affected by dust, static-charge build-up from dielectric powders, or changes in conductivity, temperature, pressure, humidity or moisture content. Tuning-fork style vibration sensors are another alternative. They tend to be less costly, but are prone to material buildup between the tines, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_sensor#Vibrating_point |
