In our previous introduction to liquid level sensors, we learned that there are many working principles for liquid level sensors. The principle of a liquid level control switch is one of them; therefore, a liquid level switch is a type of level sensor.
However, they differ in function and application. The following will detail the differences between them.
What is a Liquid Level Switch?
A liquid level control switch is an automatic control device used to detect and control the height or level of liquid. It is mainly used to detect the presence, absence, or specific height of liquid in a container, similar to a level alarm. It does not provide continuous and accurate level measurement.
Liquid level switches are generally less expensive than liquid level detection sensors, offering advantages such as affordability, ease of operation, and fast response. They are widely used in applications that require point-level detection, such as high- and low-level alarms for water tanks and storage tanks, as well as pump control and overflow protection.
What is a Liquid Level Sensor?
A liquid level sensor is a precision liquid detection device that supports real-time monitoring of liquid level height, providing accurate liquid level measurement data. This is crucial for fields such as the chemical and pharmaceutical industries that require high-precision level control.
Liquid level sensors, due to their high detection accuracy (down to the millimeter level), employ more complex core components and manufacturing processes, resulting in typically higher purchase and maintenance costs.
Therefore, when purchasing, you should fully consider the core needs of your industry and application. If your industry requires higher accuracy in liquid level detection, a liquid level sensor is your preferred choice. If you only need to measure the presence of liquid for basic control, such as preventing spills, then a liquid level switch is the ideal option.
We recommend the LLC101000 Honeywell liquid level switch. It features a compact design, supports various threaded interface mountings, offers reliable sensing unaffected by ambient light or small air bubbles, and provides accurate readings.
