Capacitive Level Sensors

Overview

Capacitive level sensors from SMD detect liquid presence or measure continuous level through the wall of thin non-conductive vessels — no vessel penetration required. Ideal for disposable fluid systems where sensors must remain on the outside of the container. Point and continuous measurement options available for a wide range of vessel geometries.

Key Features

No vessel penetration
Point & continuous modes
No moving parts
Disposable compatible

Typical Applications

Disposable bioreactor bag level
Medical device IV bag monitoring
Laboratory bottle level detection
Pharmaceutical vessel level
Chemical container level monitoring
Food processing vessel level
