SST SENSING
Detecting the presence or absence of a liquid
Knowing if you have a liquid at a point in your process or system can be critical to preventing expensive damage to components and ensuring optimal conditions for process performance .
Checking for liquids where there shouldn ’ t be any or maintaining a fluid between set levels keeps cost of repair and maintenance down , ensures efficient running of systems and by consequence , lower cost of ownership for the customer .
SST Sensing , a Process Sensing Technologies company , has been the leading manufacturer of low-cost optical liquid detection switches for over 18 years .
Designed to detect the presence or absence of any water or oil-based liquid , SST ’ s range of miniature and high-pressure level switches are designed into many fluid control applications .
From protecting expensive control cabinets from damage by water ingress to maintaining hydraulic and additive fluid levels in production equipment SST ’ s optical liquid detection switches have been the choice of system designers where reliable and lowcost switching is needed .
Working in partnership with design teams has allowed SST to develop solutions for level and leak detection sensing in some of the trickiest applications where traditional float switches have been unreliable or require too much liquid to switch , or in viscous or continuously moving liquids humid environments .
Solid state sensors with no moving parts to stick and designed in various fluid compatible plastics or stainless steel for the more aggressive and high-pressure environments SST ’ s optical liquid detection sensors only require 1mm of liquid to switch from dry to wet or wet to dry .
In continuous use protecting run dry in tanks and pumps and overflow protection in industrial processes , optical liquid detection sensors have also replaced float switches in food and pharmaceutical reactors due to
SST Sensing , a Process Sensing Technologies company , has been the leading manufacturer of low-cost optical liquid detection switches for over 18 years . their low profile , insensitivity to bubbles or foam and allowing stirrers and agitators to operate without hindrance .
SST ’ s in-house design and production teams work with customers to provide samples and test fluid compatibility and application specific details , offering standard or customised solutions that include cable and connector changes , hydrophobic coatings , food and pharmaceutical grade components and high vibration resistant switching .
