Echomax® XPS transducers use ultrasonic technology to measure level in a wide range of liquids and solids.
The transducers can be fully immersed, are resistant to steam and corrosive chemicals, and can be installed without flanges.
The XPS series offers versions for various measuring ranges up to 30 m (100 ft) and up to a max. temperature of 95 °C (203 °F).
During operation, the EchoMax transducers emit acoustic pulses in a narrow beam. The level monitor measures the propagation time between pulse emission and its reflection (echo) to calculate the distance.
Don’t forget that the safest engineered level measurement solution includes switches for back-up, overfill, low level and dry run protection.

ST-H transducers use ultrasonic technology to measure level in chemical storage and liquid tanks.
The narrow design of the ST-H allows the transducer to be mounted on a 2″ (50.8 mm) standpipe. When mounted correctly, it is completely protected from the process and can even be used in harsh, corrosive environments.
During operation, the ultrasonic transducer emits acoustic pulses in a narrow beam perpendicular to the transducer face. The level transceiver measures the propagation time between pulse emission and reception of the echo to calculate the distance from the transducer to the material. Variations in sound velocity due to changes in temperature within the permissible range are automatically compensated by the integral temperature sensor.
Key Applications: chemical storage, liquid tanks
