June 12, 2025 — As industrial automation continues to advance, ultrasonic level sensors have gained wide application in various fields such as chemicals, water treatment, and food processing due to their non-contact measurement, high precision, and strong adaptability. Among them, small-angle ultrasonic level sensors stand out as an ideal choice for complex working conditions due to their narrow beam angle and strong anti-interference capabilities, helping enterprises achieve more accurate level monitoring and management.
Core Advantages of Small-Angle Ultrasonic Level Sensors
-
High Precision Measurement: Utilizing small-angle probes (such as 10° or smaller), energy is concentrated, reducing false echo interference, making them particularly suitable for measurement environments that are narrow or contain obstacles.
-
Strong Anti-Interference Capability: Advanced echo processing algorithms can effectively filter out interference from steam, foam, dust, etc., ensuring stable and reliable data to meet the demands of complex level measurement.
-
Wide Applicability: These sensors can accurately measure corrosive liquids (such as acids and alkalis), high-viscosity media (such as slurries and oils), and solid particulate materials (such as grains and mineral powders), displaying excellent application flexibility.
-
Easy Installation: The split design (such as the UTG-20A series) allows for flexible adaptation to different tank structures, supporting multiple signal outputs including 4-20mA and RS485, facilitating integration into automation systems.
Typical Application Scenarios
-
Wastewater Treatment Industry: In aeration tanks, settling tanks, and other conditions prone to foam and turbulence, small-angle ultrasonic level sensors can stably monitor liquid levels. For example, ABB’s LST200 model employs intelligent algorithms to automatically compensate for signal fluctuations, ensuring data accuracy.
-
Chemical Storage Tanks: For highly corrosive media such as sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, non-contact measurement effectively prevents sensor corrosion, significantly extending equipment life.
-
Food and Storage: In scenarios such as grain silos and fuel tanks, small-angle probes can effectively avoid measurement errors caused by internal structures (such as beams and supports), ensuring data accuracy.
Industry Dynamics and Innovations
Recently, the Tianjin Hi-Energy Environmental Energy Co., Ltd. developed a rapid installation bracket for ultrasonic level sensors that has been granted a national patent. This design features an elastic arc-shaped clamp structure that enables quick disassembly and assembly of instruments, making it especially suitable for harsh environments like wastewater pools. Furthermore, domestic manufacturers like Meiyu Automation and Jiangsu Zhuomai are also promoting cost-effective solutions, gradually replacing imported equipment.
Future Trends
With the widespread adoption of IoT technology, the next generation of ultrasonic level sensors is being integrated with cloud platforms and AI analysis, allowing for remote monitoring and predictive maintenance. For example, ABB’s LST200 now supports digital debugging tools, enabling users to quickly configure parameters via computer, significantly reducing operating and maintenance costs.
Conclusion
With their precision, durability, and intelligence, small-angle ultrasonic level sensors are becoming key devices in the field of industrial measurement and control. In the future, as domestic technologies continue to break through, their application scope will further expand, providing more efficient measurement support for smart factories and green energy scenarios.
