BBULM-B External Bottom-Mounted Ultrasonic Level Meter

BBULM-B external bottom-mounted ultrasonic level meter sensor and processing box

Product Overview

BBULM-B measures liquid level through an ultrasonic sensor installed on the external bottom surface of a container. The sensor is coupled to the tank bottom without drilling or opening the vessel. It is suitable for water, diesel, petrol, LPG, and other liquids in stationary or moving containers.

The product consists of an ultrasonic sensor and a data processing box. It can be used with vehicle fuel tanks, transportation tanks, industrial vessels, and liquid-storage equipment, and can connect to local servers, cloud monitoring, or telemetry systems.
