Technologies

Level Measurement Technologies

WIKA provides multiple level measurement technologies to ensure the right solution for every application, medium, and operating condition.

Magnetic Level Indicators (MLI)

Ideal for continuous, visual level indication in tanks and vessels, magnetic level indicators offer high reliability without direct contact between the process fluid and the indicator. These instruments perform exceptionally well in high-pressure, high-temperature, or hazardous environments.

Float & Bypass Level Transmitters

Using proven buoyancy principles, float-based level transmitters deliver stable, repeatable measurements for liquids with varying densities. They are commonly paired with bypass chambers for easy installation and maintenance.

Hydrostatic Level Sensors

Hydrostatic level measurement uses pressure to calculate liquid height, making it a practical and cost-effective solution for open tanks, sumps, and vessels. These sensors are suitable for clean, viscous, or contaminated liquids.

Guided Wave Radar (GWR)

For applications requiring high accuracy regardless of temperature, pressure, vapor, or foam, guided wave radar level transmitters provide dependable performance and minimal calibration effort.

Optical & Point Level Switches

Designed for reliable point-level detection, WIKA level switches are commonly used for overfill protection, pump control, and alarm signaling in both liquid and solid applications.

Applications

Industries & Applications

WIKA level measurement solutions are trusted across a wide range of industries and use cases:

  • Chemical & Petrochemical Processing – Aggressive media, pressure vessels, and hazardous areas
  • Oil & Gas – Separators, storage tanks, offshore platforms, and refineries
