Where are bubblers used?
Bubblers are mostly used as Tank Level Indicators (TLI’s), but many are also used in open channels, streams or wells for irrigation and flood control. Pneumatic air bubbler systems contain no moving parts, making them suitable for measuring the level of water, viscous fluids, liquids with large quantities of suspended solids, slurries, sewage, drainage water and sludge. The only part of the sensor that contacts the liquid is a dip tube which is chemically compatible with the material whose level is to be measured. Since the point of measurement has no electrical components, the technique is a good choice for most fluids and especially good for fluids classified as”Hazardous”. What makes the bubbler more safe is that the bubbler controls are located outside the tank in a separate enclosure with only the pneumatic plumbing running to the tank, isolating the hazardous from the safe area. Air bubbler systems are an excellent choice for open tanks at atmospheric pressure and can be built so
