All process industries today require the ability to safely and accurately measure level in critical applications. 

The occurrence of catastrophic overfill incidents in recent years has made improving safety a mission-critical requirement for all process industries.

Mitigating the risk of catastrophic overfill incidents in processes that contain materials that are flammable or toxic is a top priority for all process industries today.

In the wake of catastrophic incidents such as the Bhopal disaster in India, the BP explosion in Texas City, TX and the Buncefield Petrol Depot explosion in the UK, safety has become a top priority for industrial companies running critical processes that contain extreme temperatures and pressures, and flammable or toxic materials.

Due to the hazardous nature of sour service applications, which contain hydrogen sulfide (H2S), the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) has issued a standard recommended practice that includes minimum requirements to resist sulfide stress cracking.

Ultrasonic contact level measurement technology plays a key role in the safe and effective measurement of liquids across all process industries. To ensure that you implement an optimal solution for your facility, it’s important to learn about the different applications where an ultrasonic gap switch can be used – and the advantages and limitations of using this technology.
