Protecting our Environment In landfills, leachate ponds are formed when rainwater percolates through the waste and chemicals are leached into a pond beneath the landfill. The chemicals in the leachate pond are unknown and vary each day, depending on what is drained into the pond. The pressure transmitters that monitor the level of the pond […]
Pressure transducers are highly popular measurement devices, built to fit in many different environments and chemicals. At Automation Products Group, Inc. (APG), we offer a variety of pressure transducers. In this post, we’ll cover the basics of pressure transducers, including how they work and the applications they excel in.

When it comes to fuel level measurements, several potential application challenges can compromise a sensor’s accuracy. Most fuels can be measured effectively if you choose your sensor wisely. APG offers several solutions for these problems, such as submersible pressure transducers, radar level sensors, continuous float level transmitters, and ultrasonic level sensors. Here’s a list of […]
Remote tank level monitoring gives a variety of opportunities to users, including the integration of local automation to your remote monitoring system. This is done though the level sensor’s alarm trip points and optional outputs. Simple applications are designed to alert remote personnel to a full or empty tank. However, initiating a local process with […]
Setting up a remote tank level monitoring system goes beyond selecting the ideal sensor technology. Often, additional support equipment is required to ensure a comprehensive system. Over the years, APG has helped many customers find the right tank level monitoring solution, as well as providing expertise on the supporting infrastructure. Here are a few important […]
Float switches are useful devices that can be suited for hazardous environments where flammable gases or oils are present. The intrinsic safety wiring method, combined with an appropriate barrier, allows devices to operate safely in areas with the risk of ignition. Intrinsic Safety with Float Switches The key is using Intrinsically Safe wiring methods to […]
At APG, we specialize in a variety of fuel tank level sensor technologies tailored to meet the specific requirements of each application. Each fuel level measurement application has its own unique set of challenges. When considering the complexities of environmental factors, chemical compatibility, and calibration needs, pressure sensors often emerge as the superior choice for […]
A level transmitter is used to measure the level of a liquid in an open or closed tank. It works by sending out a signal proportional to the fluid level and then measuring this signal with its sensing element. At Automation Products Group, Inc. (APG), we offer several types of level transmitters, such as submersibles, pressure […]
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 […]
