Level sensor in a closed reactor ?
(OP)
Does anyone know what I can use to detect the liquid level inside a closed reactor. There is about 4" dai. sight glass on top of the reactor.
As a result of emmission problem, all the reactors need to be run as closed process. Stochiometric ratio of ingredients is very critical so expected level of each liquid ingredient have to be checked incase of malfunction in the flowmeter. Moreover, for safety reasons there should be a certain amount of volume for vapor/gas in the dome of the reactors. It is this space that I'm trying to estimate/measure.

DP cell (pressure transmitter at top and bottom of the reactor) , in my experience, usually works the best.

They work great (one manufacturer is Texas Nuclear)...and essentially strap on to the outside of the vessel (a source on one side and a detector on the other.
Good luck!
