Magnetostrictive Level Sensor

Magnetostrictive level sensors are similar to float type sensors in that a permanent magnet sealed inside a float travels up and down a stem in which a magnetostrictive wire is sealed. Ideal for high-accuracy, continuous level measurement of a wide variety of liquids in storage and shipping containers. Because of the degree of accuracy possible with the magnetostrictive technique, it is popular for "custody-transfer" applications. It is also frequently applied on magnetic sight gages.
