Ultrasonic Sensors for Oil & Gas Applications
Non-Contact Level Measurement for Crude Oil, Chemicals, and Fuels
Migatron provides reliable ultrasonic sensing solutions engineered specifically for the demanding environments of the oil and gas industry. Our intrinsically safe sensors deliver precise measurement and monitoring capabilities while meeting the rigorous safety requirements of hazardous locations and explosive atmospheres.
Sensors with Hazardous Area Approvals
Continuous Liquid Level Measurement in Hazardous Storage Tanks
Maintaining accurate, continuous level measurement is critical for storage tanks containing crude oil, chemicals, and refined fuels. Engineers require stable, repeatable readings to support inventory control, overfill prevention, and process automation.
Constraint: Intrinsically Safe Operation in Hazardous Areas
Storage tanks in oil & gas operations often present challenging conditions, including: flammable gases, temperature fluctuations and exposure to weather and contaminants.
These environments require sensors that can operate reliably without degradation over time.
In hazardous areas, equipment cannot introduce ignition risk. Intrinsically safe sensors are designed to limit electrical energy to levels below what can ignite a combustible atmosphere.
Intrinsically safe systems achieve this by restricting voltage, current, and stored energy within the circuit, preventing ignition sources from forming in the first place.
Result: Safe, Low-Maintenance, Non-Contact Measurement
By combining non-contact ultrasonic sensing with intrinsically safe design, engineers can achieve:
- Continuous, accurate level monitoring
- Reduced maintenance compared to floats or guided wave devices
- Seamless integration with PLCs via analog outputs (4–20 mA or voltage)
