The principle is based on the behavior of a capacitor the capacitance of which depends on the area of the armatures in the vicinity, the distances between them and the dielectric constant of the material. In the case of a capacitive level control the armatures of the capacitor are represented by the walls of the tank on one side and by the electrode of a probe, isolated from the walls on the other The principle is based on the behavior of a capacitor the capacitance of which depends on the area of the armatures in the vicinity, the distances between them and the dielectric constant of the material. In the case of a capacitive level control the armatures of the capacitor are represented by the walls of the tank on one side and by the electrode of a probe, isolated from the walls on the other. This value of frequency current is transformed by the control circuit into a current which is used to indicate the level. APPLICATIONS Capacitive level controls are widely used where it is necessary to control with a good safety margin of intervention the level of substances both liquid and solid which may not be conductive. They are particularly used in silos for cereals,foodstuffs, seeds, biscuit plants and the food industry in general. They are also used in the transport, dosing, stocking and handling of plastic materials, petrochemical products, in foundries and cement factories. The field of use is vast and is practically anywhere where it is necessary to control the level inside tanks which contain many types of different material.
