ABB’s Thermal Dispersion products can be used for flow, level or temperature detection. One switch can be field configured to detect one of these three process conditions.
Thermal Dispersion level switches are extremely rugged and versatile and have high pressure and temperature capabilities. These switches can be calibrated for level, air/foam, foam and solid/liquid interface or flow applications.
Ultrasonic Level Measurement features variable GAP technology for stable readings in the most challenging environments.
The KSONIK is the only ultrasonic level transmitter that uses dynamic GAP technology in order to locate the correct echo. The KSONIK utilizes the minimum amount of GAP (Gain, Amplitude, and Power) at every possible distance within the measurement range. This simply means that we reduce the power to give you the most accurate reading with a beam angle of only 3 degrees, and then enough power to push through the most dusty environments.
As a comprehensive provider of level measurement products, ABB offers a variety of specialty level instruments that complement field instrumentation to provide the customer with the total level solutions.
When a complete level measurement system is designed with the right combination of specialty level instruments, the highest degree of level detection and control can be achieved.
ABB’s RF Capacitance level switches feature one-step external calibration, immunity to material build-up, and a wide selection of probes for even the most challenging applications from low dielectric bulk solids to sticky slurries.
Whether the application involves liquids, pellets, granules, powders, chips or flakes, ABB’s RF Capacitance level transmitters feature one of the largest selections of probe elements. In addition, the RF design means there are no moving parts to break or wear out.

ABB’s K-TEK level products’ patented sensor technology allows the AT and LMT* series transmitters to be used in the most challenging of industrial level applications such as interface measurement, compressor level and separator level applications. In addition, the AT Series Level Transmitters are the only magnetostrictive level transmitters in the world to be certified for use in SIL2 and SIL3 systems per IEC61508.
Every day, we solve high accuracy and challenging applications. We can help you with yours.
ABB’s K-TEK level products’ AT and LMT magnetostrictive transmitters are used extensively around the world to provide continuous level indication and transmission of an analog and/or digital signal for monitoring or control. The unique design allows increased level sensing resolution which is more than 100 times greater than a conventional reed switch type device. The Magnetostrictive Level Transmitter versatility allows direct in-tank installation or external mounting to a magnetic level gauge. HART and FOUNDATION Fieldbus options make our magnetostrictive level transmitters easy to connect digitally to most control systems.
With over 200,000 installations worldwide, the KM26 Magnetic Level Gauge has provided custom engineered solutions to liquid level applications in industries such as: Oil and Gas, Refinery, Chemical, Petrochemical, Power Generation and many more. The KM26 MLG has proven itself to be a safe, reliable, maintenance free solution for total and/or interface level detection in toxic, corrosive, high pressure, and high temperature processes
ABB offers the standard KM26 Magnetic Level Gauge with a chamber of virtually any non-magnetic material, extruded process connections, a custom engineered float and all accessories with 316 stainless steel construction. The ABB MagWave dual chamber redundant level system has a proven record of improving feedwater heater reliability in power plants around the world. The MagWave combines a highly visible magnetic level indicator with the precise level measurement of a guided wave radar transmitter. Redundant level control can be achieved by adding a magnetostrictive transmitter or switch to the float chamber.

The VM3D is a laser volume product used for inventory management and automated stockpile management.
The VM3D Scanners are unlike single point level transmitters; they take into account the shape of the surface, accurately calculating the effects of «cone-up», «cone-down» or irregularities on the material volume.
ABB is a leading manufacturer of state-of-the-art level and volume instrumentation for liquid and bulk solids detection. The family of non-contact laser volume and level products, LLT100, LM80, LM200 and VM3D, provide solutions for accurate measurement in the following applications: inventory in bunkers, blending hoppers, reactor vessels, level control, volumetric measurement, and various dry bulk solids and liquids in silos.
These maintenance-free products meet the demands of process automation and inventory management in several industries such as mining, aggregates, oil and gas, chemicals, food and beverages, pharma, water and waste water.
The MT series of guided wave radars are the only level transmitters in the world to be IEC 61508 certified for operation in SIL2 and SIL3 environments
The guided wave radar’s self-monitoring capability continually checks for any faults that could cause device failures or false indications. The device features a graphic display incorporated into an all digital electronics module. Using this new format ABB has been able to add waveform screens to the modular electronics along with easy to follow multiple choice setup menus. These menus can be changed to many different languages for easy commissioning throughout the world. Pulses of microwave energy are directed to the product surface using a rigid rod or flexible cable type probe. This assembly has no moving parts and no loss of energy due to beam divergence.
We offer a complete line of buoyancy point level switches for just about any chemical, petroleum or general process application.
This family of products include horizontal floats, vertical floats, and displacer switches of all kinds. ABB’s simple and reliable design offers great flexibility with custom insertion lengths, temperature ratings to 1000ºF/ 38ºC. Pressure ratings to 5000 psig/345 bar, and a wide selection of alloys. The ABB buoyancy switches are the highest quality and cost efficient solution to industrial liquid level point sensing.
