Capacitive sensors are seen as the true all-rounders of filling level measurement technology: they are robust and suitable for many different uses because they can be used for detection of both metallic and non-metallic objects, are not afraid of direct contact with the material, even aggressive fluids, and can also see through (non-conductive) container walls. They are not even troubled by adhesions or dirt, nor can the material be contaminated by the sensor.
As the measurement scan passes through non-conductive materials, capacitive sensors can also detect through container walls made of e.g. glass, plastic or cardboard.
Capacitive sensors are attractive because they are good value for money, they process very reliably and need little maintenance.
