How hydrostatic level probes work and why they matter

How liquid pressure becomes a reliable level reading.

01

How it works

Hydrostatic pressure increases with depth. The probe converts this pressure into an electrical signal, allowing an indicator or system to determine liquid level.

02

Applications

The technology is used in water supply, wastewater treatment, chemical processing, oil and gas, and many storage processes.

  • Tanks
  • Wells
  • Reservoirs
  • Pumping stations
  • Dams and waterways

03

28 mm and 12 mm probes

The 28 mm probe provides robust construction for reservoirs and broad applications. The 12 mm version serves wells and installations with narrow piping while retaining hydrostatic measurement.

04

Implementation and monitoring

Beyond range and diameter, the specification should consider cable, material, signal, power and fluid conditions. Proper installation and monitoring sustain accuracy over time.
