Product Selection

CONTINUOUS LEVEL SENSORS

Non-Contact Radar Level Sensors

ABM’s non-contact radar sensors provide continuous level measurement for liquid, slurry or solid material applications in challenging environments. Optional remote radar sensor models have a built-in cellular modem.

Non-Contact Ultrasonic Sensors

ABM’s non-contact ultrasonic sensors provide continuous level measurement for liquid, slurry or solid material applications without vapours / gases or heavy dust. Optional remote ultrasonic sensor models have a built-in cellular modem.

Non-Contact Mini Ultrasonic Transmitters

ABM’s non-contact mini ultrasonic transmitters are ideal for continuous level measurement in short range liquid applications measuring weirs, small tanks, drums, totes or barrels.

Submersible Ultrasonic Sensor

ABM’s immersed ultrasonic sensor is the ideal solution for continuous level measurement in liquid applications for underwater pump control / protection and liquid-solid interface detection such as sand or sludge and water.

POINT LEVEL SENSORS

Non-Invasive Ultrasonic Switches

ABM’s non-invasive ultrasonic switches are the ideal solution for point level measurement in liquid applications that benefit from non-invasive operation such as high pressure vessels (i.e. compressors), tanks with high viscous materials or corrosive liquids, tanks with high purity or sanitary liquids, and detection of liquid-solid interface.
