Importance Of Float Switch For Wastewater Treatment

What is Float Switch?

A Float Switch is a device that is used to sense the level of a fluid. The switch operates when the level of fluid changes due to the movement of the float. The switch can be used in a pump, a tank, an alarm or indicator. This float switch is simplest, most reliable, and cheapest technology.

How does Float Switch helps in wastewater treatment?

Float switches play an important role in many of the industries and processes that our society depends on. Wastewater treatment is one function that is vital to maintaining a sustainable society, and it is an area where liquid level management is critical to performing this function in a way that is safe.

The ability to control, manage and monitor liquids is a key part of wastewater treatment. The following are a few of the wastewater processes that depend on float switches:

• Low-level alarms for leak detection
• High-level alarms for emergency shutoff procedures
• Chemical mixing
• Storage inventory monitoring and management

These are just a few uses for float switches in wastewater management. These switches not only help to ensure the proper treatment of wastewater, but they are also important for protecting the environment. If a float switch were to fail in a wastewater treatment facility, the outcome could be a major environmental catastrophe. Float switch failure was one of the factors that helped to lead to the spill.

Infrared Thermometer Supplier Malaysia

Non-contact Temperature Sensors

These detectors measure the amount of radiation emitted by a surface. As the temperature of a body increases, the amount of infrared emitted and its average frequency also goes up.

The target material radiating efficiency will have a bearing on the reading and the emissivity ( between 0 and 100%) needs to be known. This rating can vary between 95% for an efficient surface to 20% for polished metal.

The emissivity of the surface must be known. Varying oxidation or roughness will affect the reading. A coating is often applied to ensure a certain emissivity figure.

Care needs to be taken to avoid reading contamination from sources other than the target. A detector will have a certain field of view which can be altered to concentrate on the target.

One significant advantage of infrared temperature measurement is that it is non-contact. Thus moving bodies, fragile or wet surfaces and very aggressive media can be measured with relative ease. Very large surfaces can also be measured and simply averaged, or hot spots detected without masses of wiring and detectors.

Only surface temperatures can be read. If the bulk temperature of a process is to be recorded a sheath must be inserted into the process and it must act as a sighting target.

Infrared thermometers can record high temperatures up to 3000 °C, well above Thermocouples and Resistance Thermometers (RTDs) although they suffer from higher inaccuracies and other problems such as radiant heat.

Thermocouple Wire Supplier Malaysia – Compensating and Extension Cable

Thermocouple Extension Cables use the actual thermocouple materials, but in cheaper forms. This is achieved by using cheaper insulations, wider tolerance alloys and thinner conductors (as they will see little thermal stress in their lifetime). They are produced in multi-stranded forms for ease of installation The thermoelectric performance is clearly very similar to the actual sensor.

Thermocouple Compensating Cables use completely different alloys that happen to exhibit very similar thermo-electric properties up to a limited temperature (usually 200°C ). Great care should be taken to control the temperature of the junction between the compensating cable and the actual thermocouple material to keep it below the acceptable maximum. Compensating cables come in convenient cabling forms for site installations.

Mineral Insulated RTD

We, dpstar Group manufacture and design mineral insulated resistance thermometers. Resistance thermometers are often called resistance thermometer detectors (RTD) or simply Pt100 sensors. Mineral insulated resistance thermometers consists of an external metal sheath which protects the P100 element from damage and contamination. This outer sheath is insulated with magnesium oxide powder, tightly packed so no air is trapped inside. This not only gives great thermal conductivity but mineral insulated RTD can be bent into a variety of shapes to suit your application.

There are a wide range of options for our MI resistance thermometers. They can be constructed with various diameters and materials of sheath, many different RTD types (Pt100, Pt1000 etc) and mineral insulated RTD lengths.

Thermowell │ Thermowell Supplier Malaysia

What is Thermowell?
Thermowell is small tubular fitting which is used in temperature measurement to protect the temperature sensor from damage that could occur during an industrial process. Thermowell is otherwise commonly known as solid drilled pockets as they consist of a metal bar stock that is drilled to create an open end where the sense is inserted. If the sensor was to break during application, the user could easily replace the existing sensor with a new one.

Common uses of thermowell is very similar to that of other components. Thermowell can be used in both an existing temperature sensor setup or can be added to a new design specification. Thermowell used in many high temperature applications because they can work effectively up to temperatures surrounding 1200 °C.

What Is The Advantage of Using Thermowells?
There are many reasons why you may choose to include a thermowell in your design specification. The main reason that people often choose to use them is because they are very durable, and provide excellent protection for the sensor from external damage caused by corrosive liquids or intense temperature.

We can provide a range of additional features to your new thermowell include addition of process thread or a custom made flange which we are able to weld and test to your specification

Contact us with your requirements if you have an existing sensor design or are unsure what you need we’ll be able to find you get the right thermowell. Please call Ms. Toh at 012-2951393 or email to sbtoh@dpstar.com.my.
