Non-contact Water Level Sensor - XKC-Y26-V(5-24V)

A liquid level sensor is used to measure the level of a liquid in a storage tank or other container. It’s versatile enough to utilize for liquids of many kinds, from water and oil to chemicals. Tanks, reservoirs, and process control systems may all benefit from liquid-level sensors. They are used in industrial, commercial, and residential areas for monitoring and controlling the flow of liquids.

In general, liquid flow sensors are used to track and control the flow of liquids in different systems and processes. They can be used to optimize efficiency, reduce waste, and ensure safety.
