Product catalog summary
Applications of Insulation Coatings in Level Switches
Introduction: Insulation coatings are crucial for protecting level meters from corrosion by media. Common coatings include PTFE, ECTFE, and PFA for Tuning Fork Level Switches, and PTFE or FEP for Magnetic Level Gauges. These coatings also prevent electrostatic adsorption, allowing direct contact with metal media.
Tuning Fork Level Switch with Anti-static Coating: In Pre Foaming Machines, where foam density is low (0.008g/cm³), Jiwei Tuning Fork Level Switches are ideal for level control. The foam generates static electricity, leading to bridging, especially in humid conditions. Insulation coatings provide anti-static properties to prevent bridging. Installing a purging device for cleaning is recommended.
Application in Lithium Battery Industry: In this industry, the anode part must not contact metal. Capacitive level switches with PTFE rods are used, but they can fail due to material adhesion. Tuning Fork Level Switches with insulation coatings offer a better alternative, with widened forks and larger amplitudes enhancing anti-bridging effects.
Coating Specifications: To maintain ideal resonance, the coating thickness on the fork should be 0.03mm. In applications involving rough and large particles, the risk of coating abrasion should be considered. Consultation with Jiwei engineers is advised for optimal service.

Applications of Insulation Coatings in Level Switches-1

Applications of Insulation Coatings in Level Switches To prevent the level meters from being corroded by media, coatings are usually applied to the wetted parts, such as Tuning Fork Level Switch coated with PTFE, ECTFE, PFA, and Magnetic Level Gauge lined with PTFE or FEP. Coatings play important roles in the field of level meters. For example, the surface of the probe can be conducted with anti-static coating to prevent electrostatic adsorption, so the probe can directly contact the metal medium. Tuning Fork Level Switch with anti-static coating In the Pre Foaming Machine, the density of foam is as low as 0.008g/cm³, Jiwei Tuning Fork Level Switch is an optimal option for the level control. The foam builds up static electricity, so the fork tends to bridging especially the Pre Foaming Machine inside is humid. However, with the insulation coating, the fork can be anti-static and to prevent the bridging effects. If available, installing a purging device to clean the fork is also recommended.

Jiwei Fork-11 Tuning Fork Level Switch applied in Pre Foaming Machine In the lithium battery industry, anode part of the battery cannot come into contact with metal. Capacitive level switches with PTFE rods are commonly used for the level control in these cases. However, material adhesion effects can frequently occur and cause failure measurement. Therefore, Tuning Fork Level Switch with insulation coating is an excellent alternative. The widened fork with larger amplitude promotes a better anti-bridging effect.

For the above similar conditions, the Tuning Fork Level Switch needs to be kept in an ideal resonance state, so the coating thickness of the fork should be within 0.03mm. In the applications of rough and large particles, the risk of coating abrasion should be considered. For a better service, please consult Jiwei engineers.
