Product catalog summary
Introduction
Shenzhen Jiwei Automations Ltd. has developed the Ring-11 tuning fork liquid level switch, which has shown excellent performance in measuring glue levels, a challenging task due to glue's poor fluidity compared to other liquids like water or alcohol.
Measurement Challenges
Glue's viscosity, which can exceed 10,000 cps, poses significant measurement challenges. Traditional methods such as floating level indicators and photoelectric switches are ineffective due to issues like false alarms, probe cleaning requirements, and the need for explosion-proof sensors.
Testing and Client Feedback
Jiwei conducted on-site tests with the Ring-11 switch, which led to client purchases and extended testing periods. The switch's performance received high praise from clients after several months of trials.
Advantages of Ring-11 Liquid Level Switch
  • Reliability: Utilizes fork resonant principle, detecting changes in vibrating frequency when in contact with liquid, allowing for high sensitivity and a measurable density as low as 0.5g/cm³.
  • Maintenance-Free: Based on cantilever vibration principle, it has no mechanical moving parts, ensuring a longer service life.
  • Precision and Range: Precisely tuned tines achieve full resonance, with a measurable viscosity range of 0.1 to 10,000 cps.
  • Safety Certifications: Developed according to IEC61508 standards, with SIL2/SIL3 Functional Safety Assessment Certification, and certified for Intrinsic Safety and Flameproof Enclosure explosion protection.
Conclusion
The Ring-11 liquid level switch effectively addresses the challenges of measuring high viscosity glue levels, providing a stable and reliable solution that has been well-received by clients.

Tuning Fork Liquid Level Switch Applied in Glue Level Measurement-1

Tuning Fork Liquid Level Switch Applied in Glue Level Measurement Recently, a Shenzhen composite material company reported that Jiwei Ring-11 tuning fork liquid level switches had good performance in the measurement of glue level. Different from water, alcohol and beverages, glues have poor fluidity, so the level measurement has always been a difficult problem in the field. Measurement difficulties of glue The viscosity of water is at 27 ℃ is 1cps, but the viscosity of glues is generally greater than 300cps, and even higher than 10000cps. Generally, the viscosity decreases with temperature rising. On the contrary, the viscosity rises when temperature decreasing. Floating level indicator, float level gauge, RF admittance liquid level switch and photoelectric switch are not applicable in glue level measurement. The reasons and difficulties are as following: 1. Easy to hang-up, resulting in false alarm; 2. Need to clean the probe frequently in time, or the glue can be harder and stuck on the probe; 3. Some glues are flammable and explosive, so the sensors are required to have explosion-proof approvals.

To convince the clients, Jiwei brought samples to test the glue level on site. To further test the performance of Ring-11 liquid level switch, the clients purchased one and tested it for a period. After several months of test trial, the good performance of Ring-11 won high praise from the clients. Advantages of Ring-11 liquid level switch Because the viscosity, most liquid level sensors cannot meet the measuring requirements. But why Ring-11 is able to measure? 1. Ring-11 liquid level switch is a highly reliable control switch specially used for liquid level measurement. Based on the fork resonant...
