LMT100 magnetostrictive level transmitter - 3

— Principle of operation: The LMT100 is based upon the magnetostrictive principle. The device electronics generates a low energy current pulse at fixed intervals. 2 The electrical pulses create a magnetic field which travels down a specialized wire inside the sensor tube. 3 The interaction of the magnetic field around the wire and the magnetic float causes a torsional stress wave to be induced in the wire. This torsion propagates along the wire at a known velocity, from the position of the magnetic float and toward both ends of the wire. 4 A patented sensing element placed in the...
