Reliable Conductive Liquid Detection for Tanks and Wells
The Finder 072.41 operates as a sensing electrode within a conductive liquid level monitoring system. When the liquid reaches the electrode, an electrical conduction path can be established between the sensing electrode and a suitable reference electrode or conductive tank connection. A compatible Finder level control relay detects this condition and responds according to its configured operating function.
Depending on the level control relay and electrode arrangement, the system can be used for liquid filling, emptying, minimum-level monitoring or maximum-level monitoring. The suspended electrode is particularly useful where the required sensing position is below the top of a tank or within a well.
The AISI 316L stainless steel electrode offers corrosion resistance, while the polypropylene casing provides compatibility with various aqueous solutions. However, chemical suitability must be assessed for the specific liquid, concentration and operating temperature. The Finder 072.41 is a sensing accessory and does not independently switch pumps or provide a complete liquid level control system.
Typical Applications
- Conductive liquid level monitoring in storage tanks.
- Water level detection in wells and reservoirs.
- Industrial tank filling and emptying control systems.
- Minimum and maximum liquid level monitoring.
- Pump control systems using compatible Finder level relays.
- Water treatment and liquid handling installations.
- Food and pharmaceutical process applications where material compatibility is suitable.
- Industrial process automation involving conductive liquids.
- Commercial water management systems.
- Electrical control panels incorporating Finder Series 72 level monitoring relays.
