Epoxy tank level sensor
Epoxy tank level sensor
(OP)
I am looking for an electronic sensor to measure the tank level containing a resin material and a catalyst material for two part epoxy. I am sure the face of this sensor will get material on it and may dry over time. How does this affect the accuracy of a capacitive, or ultrasonic sensor? Surely, there must be something to use in this case. I would prefer not to use load cell technology given the installation and set-up costs. However, I would like something that is just as accurate. Maybe pressure is the parameter to monitor? How would these types of sensors work with this material? What about a flowmeter that feeds some electronics to calculate how much material has left the tank. This could be reset each time the tank is filled. Anyone have any suggestions? I have looked at lots of different sensors and have not found one yet that I feel comfortable in using. Any help would be appreciated. These tanks are about 10' tall with a conical bottom and have a diameter of around 4-5'.

we currently use an ultrasonic sensor but has the material is heated and cooled over the course of a month or so, the material builds up and hardens to the point of getting no echo on an ultrasonic sensor. Thank you.

We use them in a charged ecoat system that has a lot of build-up On a 14 foot range, the error was less than 2" over a year. During annual turnaround, we then clean and re calibrate.
