You may have the best sensor on the market, but if its materials aren’t compatible with the media you’re measuring, performance and reliability are immediately at risk. Incompatibility can lead to sensor failure, inaccurate readings, unplanned downtime, and costly replacements. In short, successful sensor selection requires good chemistry between your sensor materials and the chemicals […]
Level sensors can be classified in two basic ways: contact level sensors and non-contact level sensors. Simply put, contact sensors physically touch the media being measured, while non-contact sensors measure level from a distance. While contact level sensors are reliable means of level measurement, a non-contact equivalent often provides better long-term performance, reduced maintenance, and […]
Radar or submersible pressure? When it comes to level measurement, the right choice depends on your application. Radar sensors are great for non-contact, harsh, or foamy environments. Submersible pressure transducers are easy to install, extremely rugged, and designed to remain fully submerged in clean or dirty liquids. At APG Sensors, we design both technologies to […]
With several forms of measurement technology on the market, it can be hard to decide on which sensor is the best for your application. At Automation Products Group, Inc. (APG), our team works closely with engineers and operators every day to select reliable sensing solutions. This guide compares radar level sensors and submersible pressure sensors […]
True leadership in industrial automation isn’t about chasing the newest technology or lowest cost—it’s about making responsible, informed decisions that deliver long-term value. At Automation Products Group, Inc. (APG), we believe leadership starts with reliable data, proven sensor solutions, and doing the right thing for our customers. Leadership Is About Responsibility, Not Convenience Leadership means […]
Pressure sensors can be used to measure more than just pressure—they can also be used to measure level. At Automation Products Group, Inc. (APG), we’ll answer how pressure sensors can measure level. Using a pressure sensor to measure level is premised on water having a uniform weight at a given depth. A water column of […]
December marks a milestone for Automation Products Group, Inc. as we begin our 20th year as a trusted name in industrial measurement. What began with deep agricultural roots and decades of engineering know-how, formally became APG in 2006. Since then, we have honored our legacy by transforming proven ideas into practical industrial measurement solutions which […]
Industry 4.0, or the fourth Industrial Revolution, is reshaping how manufacturers monitor, manage, and optimize their operations. By combining smart sensors, IIoT connectivity, cloud platforms, and advanced analytics, companies can drive greater efficiency, reduce downtime, and improve the safety and reliability of their processes. At Automation Products Group, Inc. (APG), we design sensors and monitoring […]
There are many application obstacles for level sensing in harsh chemicals, including things like high temperatures, foam, vapor, and turbulence. At Automation Products Group, Inc. (APG), we have several sensors in our lineup that can monitor harsh chemicals in tanks. The more remote the chemical tank, the more critical sensor selection becomes. You can add […]
