  2. Level sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_sensor

    Hydrostatic pressure level sensors are submersible or externally mounted pressure sensors suitable for measuring the level of corrosive liquids in deep tanks or water in reservoirs. Typically, fluid level is determined by the pressure at the bottom of the fluid containment (tank or reservoir); the pressure at the bottom, adjusted for the ...

  3. Flushing trough - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flushing_trough

    The mechanism of a flushing trough: pulling the flush chain (1) rocks the flush lever (2) and lifts the siphon plate (3), forcing water over the top of the siphon (4) and starting the flush. Water is sucked through a connecting pipe (5) from the timing box (6) and air enters the timing bottle through the vent pipe (7) until the box is empty and ...

  4. Float switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_switch

    Where level must be sensed inside a pressurized vessel, often a magnet is used to couple the motion of the float to a switch located outside the pressurized volume. In some cases, a rod through a stuffing box can be used to operate a switch, but this creates high drag and has a potential for leakage. Successful float switch installations ...

  5. Corrosion monitoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion_monitoring

    The sensors can be installed permanently and remotely connected to a monitoring system, allowing for continuous data collection and analysis. With the ability to detect corrosion early on, online ultrasonic thickness sensors can help prevent equipment failure, reduce downtime, and improve overall safety and efficiency.

  6. Float (liquid level) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_(liquid_level)

    Liquid level floats, also known as float balls, are spherical, cylindrical, oblong or similarly shaped objects, made from either rigid or flexible material, that are buoyant in water and other liquids. They are non-electrical hardware frequently used as visual sight-indicators for surface demarcation and level measurement. They may also be ...

  7. Flush toilet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flush_toilet

    A flush toilet (also known as a flushing toilet, water closet (WC); see also toilet names) is a toilet that disposes of human waste (i.e., urine and feces) by collecting it in a bowl and then using the force of water to channel it ("flush" it) through a drainpipe to another location for treatment, either nearby or at a communal facility.

  8. Probe positioning system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probe_positioning_system

    In (semi-) automated probe positioning systems, a control system corrects for the movement of the object or disturbances in the environment. These systems can use a tilt, pressure or other sensor carried by the probe to collect positional data. The positioner, such as a robotic arm is coupled to the probe. The positioner can provide roll and ...

  9. TDR moisture sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TDR_moisture_sensor

    A TDR waveguide with exposed wires. In the waveform analysis a sensor (usually a probe) is placed in the material to be tested. The sensor contains a waveguide consisting of two, three, or more parallel wires which is connected via a coaxial cable to a voltage pulse generator which sends precisely defined voltage pulses into the sensor.
