Surface disruption is a problem in both contact and non-contact methods of liquid level measurement. Stilling wells are an excellent way to dampen these disruptions and provide a clean target surface for an accurate measurement. By isolating a calmer column of liquid, they give your sensor a clean, steady target and eliminate false readings. At […]
An ultrasonic level sensor, or an ultrasonic transducer, is a device that uses sound waves to measure the level of liquids or solids in a variety of applications. It works by emitting high-frequency sound pulses across a space and then measuring the time it takes for those pulses to return as they echo off any […]

Many environmental conditions can be tough on a sensor. High vibrations, dirt, water, caustic chemicals, temperature extremes, flammable vapors, and intense pressure can push a sensor to its limit. In these situations, reliability isn’t optional, it’s essential. At Automation Products Group, Inc. (APG), we provide such sensors right where you need them. Our sensors are […]
The main purpose of wastewater treatment is to ensure that any solids and pollutants are removed from the water before it is returned to the environment. In doing so, we protect public health, keep our communities safe, and preserve natural ecosystems. At Automation Products Group, Inc. (APG), we build sensors that help wastewater facilities run […]
During a flood, there is no time to waste. Public works teams need to know where the flood is, and how fast the water is rising to keep communities safe. There are several different types of sensors that can be used to monitor water levels, all providing accurate, real-time data that’s critical in early flood […]
Lift stations are an essential component of municipal water and wastewater systems. Keeping them in operation and performing properly is absolutely vital. Monitoring pumps and liquid levels are constant tasks that keep operations running smoothly in lift stations. This is where industrial level sensors are needed. Sewer lift stations that aren’t performing properly could spell […]
The almond milk manufacturing industry demands precise process control to ensure consistent product quality, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency. Each stage of this process requires multiple sensors, each with its own insertion point in the tank. Automation Products Group’s 3-A certified level sensors with integrated RTD consolidates two sensors into one solution that can be […]
One of the challenges of any city is keeping fresh, clean water coming in to residents and wastewater flowing away. Logan City, in northern Utah, is no exception. To make this happen, city employees partnered with Automation Products Group, Inc. (APG) to use a variety of pressure sensors to manage their systems. Reliable monitoring systems […]
