Product catalog summary
Reliable Liquid Level Measurement
The document describes pneumatic sensors that measure liquid levels by detecting hydrostatic pressure. These sensors use a force balance principle with a diaphragm exposed to the liquid. Compressed air within the sensor balances the liquid's force, creating a pressure proportional to the liquid depth. This method is free from long-term drift and temperature sensitivity, unlike strain measurements. The pressure is converted to a 4–20 mAdc signal or can be output to a gauge.

Sanitary Configurations
The sensors are suitable for sanitary applications, featuring a titanium diaphragm that meets 3-A Sanitary Standards. They can be flush-mounted and cleaned in place. An FDA-approved silicone rubber O-ring ensures a secure seal. Optional silicone rubber diaphragms provide material compatibility.

Tank Gauging Applications
The AcraSensor system uses a pneumatic sensor to generate pressure equivalent to the hydrostatic force of liquid depth, converting it to a 4–20 mAdc output. This output is used for process control or remote level indication. The system includes a transmitter and twisted pair cabling for signal transmission.

Pneumatic Operation
The AcraSensor diaphragm unit, paired with a Sensor Control regulator, maintains a linear response to ensure pressure equivalence to the liquid's hydrostatic head. The system is durable and easy to maintain, with configurations for different environments.

Specifications
The sensor has high sensitivity, repeatability, and accuracy, with a temperature range of 30° to 300°F. It operates with a pressure range of 35–150 psig and requires clean, dry air. The system's accuracy combines sensor and transmitter accuracy, with a span adjustment range for various pressure settings.

Installation
For sanitary installations, the sensor is flush-welded to the tank's inner liner. Retrofit adapters are available for existing mountings from other manufacturers. The document provides contact information for King Engineering Corporation.

Effective: October 2010 Supplment 1100-25 Tank Liquid Lev Inventory Monitoring Liquid Level Transmit AcraSensor Process Integratio TM Flush mounting sanitary design Electronic (4-20 mA) output or pneumatic output Field replaceable sensor diaphragm Consistent output during CIP cycles (驠 Reliable Liquid Level Measurement Thse unique pneumatic sensorsdetect level bysensing hydrostatic pressure created by liquid depth. Acting on the force balance principle, a sensitive diaphragm is exposedtothe liquid contentsofthetank. Compressed air within the sensor cr詢tes a pneumatic pressure that balances the force of the liquid acting against the diaphragm. This compensating pneumatic pressure is directly proportional to the depth of liquid in the tank. The pneumatic force balance technique is virtually free from long term drift, hysteresis and temperature sensitivity unlike strain measurements (including load cells) since mechanical deflection of the diaphragm is not directly measured. The compensating pneumatic balance pressure which effectively isolates the sensor is converted to a proportional 4-20 mAdc signal or can be directly output to a suitable gauge. In actuality, the sensor is measuring the mass (weight) of fluid matter that can be correlated to units of standardized volume. Sanitary Configurations Thse sensors are especially suited to a wide range of sanitary applications on storage or continuous processing vessels. The unique AcraSensor titanium diaphragm satisfies the 3-A Sanitary Standard and is appropriate for flush mount, clean-in-place installation. An FDA-approved silicone rubber O-ring seal forms a crevice-free, positive compression seal between the diaphragm probe and mounting shell. Flush weld mountings are available with product contact surfaces of 316L stainless. The level sensor can be alternatively supplied with silicone rubber diaphragm surface. This molded elastomer provides additional material compatibility options. (Quick disconnect sanitary adapters are also available for sensor mounting.) Conformance to Sanitary Standard A The AcraSensor diaphragm is authorized to carry the 3-A symbol and conforms to 3-A Sanitary Standards 74-03, Sensors and Sensor Fittings and Connections.

AcraSensorLiquid Level Sensor Supplשment 1100-25 AcraSensor ■ 4-20 mA Output Version Tank Gauging Applications Acting on the force balance principle, a pneumatic sensor generates air pressure equivalent to the hydrostatic force created by liquid depth. This pneumatic pressure is directed into the D/P transmitter. Pressure is converted to an electronic 4-20 mAdc output proportional to liquid depth. Twisted pair cabling is used to form the signal loop through which the remote indicator receives the transmitter output. The KING-GAGE indicators shown in these system views correlate the transmitter...
