Did you know that the 60+ suppliers of non-contact level gauges (ultrasonic, laser and radar) describe level gauge performance in about 30 different ways? As a result, it is difficult (if not impossible) for users to compare and contrast the performance of non-contact gauges when making purchasing decisions.
You can read 'The Consumer Guide to Non-Contact Level Gauges' to learn how to sort this out.
The discrepancies between published specifications and the explanations received from suppliers were shocking.
They were so different that Spitzer had to contact virtually all of the suppliers to confirm the performance of their level gauges.
To complicate the issue, six underlying types of performance statements were found (as compared to only four for flowmeters).
Extensive tables are used to document the specifications that resulted from extensive clarifications from suppliers.
This is the first completely independent guide to the world's non-contact level gauges, including listings by tank height, performance, supplier, and model.
This guide is indispensable for designers, engineers, owners and end-users of level measurement systems.
Now users can see trends in level measurement developments and use this guide to help decide which level gauge is most applicable for their applications.
The book is available from Spitzer and Boyes, and through the ISA Press.
Chip Lee, Director of ISA, commented, "This is another very important book, and I am very pleased that we will be able to offer it in this series that previously included books about flowmeters and fieldbus." David W.
