Measuring principle
One of the main areas of application is non-contact level measurement with ultrasound. An ultrasonic transducer works according to the pulse-echo principle – contactless, maintenance-free and durable. Despite moisture, dust, fog or darkness in tanks or silos, SECO transducers measure reliably and accurately.
Our customers use SECO transducers for level measurement, for example in the:
SECO ultrasonic transducers enable contactless and high-precision level detection, which is ideal for automated processes in all industrial sectors. The functional principle is based on the transmission and reception of ultrasonic waves against a reflector, for example the surface of a medium in a silo, tank or vessel.
The use of ultrasonic technology ensures maximum durability with minimum maintenance. SECO Sensor develops and manufactures ultrasonic transducers for renowned sensor manufacturers around the world.
There are several critical aspects to the development and manufacture of high-quality ultrasonic transducers for level measurement sensors. These include both technical and application-specific specifications. Here are the most important key data:
Whether water, grain or olives – ultrasonic transducers measure without contact and regardless of the material
Wear and maintenance-free thanks to the absence of moving parts
Reliable measurement in cold, heat, humidity and darkness
Long life cycle, no maintenance costs and stable performance

Level measurement works with ultrasonic transducers that detect the distance to the surface of a medium without contact. The sound waves are emitted by an ultrasonic transducer and reflected by the medium. The level of liquids or bulk goods can be determined quickly and accurately from the measured transit time. This ensures efficient monitoring of automated processes.
Level measurement is often used in agricultural technology to monitor levels in tanks, silos or containers. The sound signals emitted by the ultrasonic transducer are reflected on the surface of the medium. The current fill level can be determined precisely and in real time from the transit time of the pulses – reliably, maintenance-free and without mechanical intervention.
Level measurement plays a crucial role in medical technology – for example, for the precise monitoring of liquids in ampoules or test tubes. Ultrasonic signals are transmitted to the surface without contact and reflected back. This allows the fill level to be measured exactly and without contact with the medium – a hygienic and safe process that guarantees maximum precision.
Level measurement plays a central role in industrial measurement technology. Whether in tanks, silos or containers – an exact overview of the fill levels of liquids, granulates or bulk goods is crucial for process reliability, efficiency and automated processes. Modern ultrasonic transducers make it possible to detect fill levels reliably and without contact – even under demanding environmental conditions.
A proven method is the pulse-echo principle. An ultrasonic transducer emits sound pulses that are reflected by the medium. Its transit time between transmission and echo reception is used to precisely calculate the distance – and therefore the fill level. This measuring principle is particularly suitable for applications where there must be no direct contact with the substance – for example with aggressive, hot or hygienically sensitive media.
Thanks to their robust design, high accuracy and simple integration, these systems are ideal for use in the food industry, chemicals, environmental technology or automation. SECO Sensor offers specially developed ultrasonic transducers that are optimally adapted to the respective application – with a long service life and maintenance-free operation.
Whether for liquids, powders or bulk solids: level measurement with ultrasonic transducers provides reliable data on which modern processes are based. Precision meets efficiency – for a safe and smart industrial future.
