ABSTRACT:
A level control instrument for controlling and/or indicating the filling level for liquid, powder, granular, especially light-weight bulk material in a container. The level is determined by a single rod shaped vibrator that is actuated by a vibration exciting and measuring system. The vibrator is a rod adapted to act as a bending vibrator which is dampened by bulk or liquid material. The dampening is controlled by the vibration exciting and measuring system. In order to prevent the vibrating energy from being transmitted to the container wall, the vibrating rod has two supports spaced from each other with each located at a nodal point on the rod. One free end of the rod extends into the material containing space of the container. If the two supports are at or near to the points where the vibration nodes appear when the rod is excited to bending vibration it is practically impossible for the vibration energy to be transferred to the container wall. As a result, this instrument has a high measuring sensitivity and is extremely accurate, particularly when operating on light-weight bulk materials.
