About the ToughSonic®-200.20

ToughSonic®-200 ultrasonic sensors are an economical solution for liquid level measurement of acids, bases, and chemical tanks. The chemical-resistant transmitters include heavy-duty electronics and a ruggedized piezoelectric transducer housed in a rugged polyvinylidene fluoride (Kynar®) enclosure.

The TS-200 series measures a variety of volatile and non-volatile liquids: diesel and oils in fuel storage tanks, chemicals utilized in the paper and food processing industries, agrichemicals used on fields, and benign liquid level applications.

ToughSonic chemical sensors also provide the same reliable functionality of their general-purpose counterparts: distance ranging, flood monitoring, proximity detection, and pump and valve automation, even in the harshest industrial environments.

Advanced Features of the TS-200.20

TS-200 ultrasonics sensors are built for dependability and long-term chemical exposure with PVDF housings, heavy-duty electronics, and isolated transducers.

TS-200.20 ensures precise, non-contact level measurement of acids, bases, fuels, cleaning agents, and other volatile liquids used during processing.

Chemical-resistant sensors also offer reliable industrial control in object detection, printing, vehicle proximity, and pump or valve automation applications.

Proven Measurements: Sensors are unaffected by the color, density, transparency, or reflectivity of liquids or targets
Built-In Climate Controls: Integrated temperature sensor and optional temperature compensation accessories ensure continuous accuracy
Seamless Integration: Connect ultrasonic sensors with SCADA systems, GIS monitoring, industrial PLCs, or site controls
Designed for Versatility: Personalized configuration and straightforward technology enables use in virtually any industry
