For both contact and non-contact methods of liquid level measurement, surface disruption can cause problems. Stilling wells are a great way to dampen disruptions, and provide a clean target surface for an accurate measurement. Stilling wells are used most often with ultrasonic sensors, as they dampen waves and turbulence, and reduce foaming. However, level probes […]
