PT-500 Water Well Sensors

The Best Level Sensor For Deep Water Wells

Monitoring water well levels can be challenging, as wells are often in remote areas where power isn’t available. While some wells are only 10 to 60 feet, there are many that are hundreds of feet deep. For water well level monitoring, and especially for the deep wells, we at Automation Products Group, Inc. (APG) recommend […]

How BFSL Relates To Pressure Transducer Accuracy

Accuracy is paramount to the success of a pressure transducer. However, the output of a pressure transducer isn’t linear, meaning the signal deviates from reality by varied amounts across the full measurement span. When graphed, the output looks like a curve rather than a straight line. This behavior is expected. But it can’t get out […]
