Anhui Tiankang TK-YB Input Type Liquid Level Transmitter Overview

The Anhui Tiankang TK-YB input type liquid level transmitter is a hydrostatic level measurement instrument. It is installed from the top or side of a tank, pool, well, or vessel, and the sensing probe is placed into the liquid.

The transmitter measures the pressure generated by the liquid height. Since liquid pressure increases with depth, the transmitter can calculate the liquid level according to the measured pressure and liquid density.

This product is commonly used when non-contact level instruments such as ultrasonic or radar level transmitters are not suitable, or when the application requires a simple, stable, and cost-effective level measurement solution.

Typical installation forms include:

  • cable type submersible installation
  • rod type insertion installation
  • flange-mounted hydrostatic installation
  • tank top installation
  • well or reservoir installation
  • open tank and underground water level measurement

Hydrostatic Level Transmitter Working Principle

The TK-YB hydrostatic level transmitter works according to the pressure generated by a liquid column.

In simple terms:

Liquid Level → Hydrostatic Pressure → Sensing Probe → Signal Conversion → 4–20 mA / Level Output

The relationship is:

Pressure = Liquid Density × Gravity × Liquid Height

When the liquid level rises, the pressure at the sensor increases. When the level falls, the pressure decreases. The transmitter converts this pressure change into a proportional level signal.

For open tanks, wells, and reservoirs, this method is very practical. For closed pressurized tanks, a differential pressure level transmitter is usually more suitable because the top pressure of the vessel must be compensated.


Key Features of Anhui Tiankang TK-YB Submersible Level Transmitter

Hydrostatic Level Measurement

The TK-YB measures liquid level through hydrostatic pressure. This principle is stable and widely used for open tanks, water tanks, wells, pools, reservoirs, and wastewater systems.

Cable Type Submersible Structure

The cable type structure uses a probe connected with a special cable. The probe is lowered into the liquid, while the transmitter head or junction part remains above the tank or well.

This type is suitable for:

  • wells
  • reservoirs
  • water tanks
  • wastewater pits
  • underground water measurement
  • open pools
  • river or canal level monitoring

The cable material should be selected according to the medium. For clean water, standard cable material may be sufficient. For corrosive liquid, chemical-resistant cable or PTFE structure may be required.

Flange-Mounted Hydrostatic Level Transmitter

The flange-mounted type is installed through a tank flange or vessel connection. This structure is more suitable for industrial tanks, process vessels, and storage tanks where a fixed mechanical connection is required.

Compared with cable-only installation, flange mounting provides:

  • stronger mechanical installation
  • fixed probe position
  • better suitability for tank applications
  • easier integration with industrial vessel nozzles
  • improved installation stability

Rod Type or Rigid Probe Option

For some applications, a rigid rod structure may be used instead of a flexible cable. This is useful when the installation depth is fixed and the probe must remain stable inside the tank.

Rod type structures are commonly used for:

  • shallow tanks
  • process vessels
  • tanks with agitation
  • applications requiring fixed probe position
  • situations where cable swing should be avoided

Suitable for Water and Industrial Liquids

The TK-YB can be used for many liquid level applications, including clean water, wastewater, industrial water, chemical liquids, storage liquids, and compatible process fluids.

For corrosive liquids, slurry, high-viscosity liquids, or liquids containing sediment, probe material and structure should be selected carefully.

Remote or Integrated Display Options

The transmitter can be used with a local display head or connected to remote indicators, PLC, DCS, or monitoring systems. The display can show the liquid level or pressure-derived level value depending on configuration.

Anti-Corrosion Material Options

Depending on the site conditions, the wetted parts and probe structure can be selected in stainless steel, PTFE, or other corrosion-resistant materials.

For chemical tanks, wastewater systems, acidic or alkaline liquids, material compatibility must be confirmed before ordering.

Common Types of Anhui Tiankang TK-YB Level Transmitter

Cable Type Submersible Level Transmitter

The cable type submersible level transmitter is the most common input type level transmitter. The probe is directly submerged into the liquid, and the cable both supports the probe and transmits the signal.

It is suitable for:

  • deep wells
  • reservoirs
  • water pools
  • wastewater pits
  • open tanks
  • underground water level measurement

This structure is flexible and easy to install, especially where no fixed flange connection is available.


Flange-Mounted Hydrostatic Level Transmitter

The flange-mounted hydrostatic level transmitter is installed through a flange on the tank or vessel. The probe extends into the liquid, and the transmitter head is fixed above the flange.

It is suitable for:

  • industrial storage tanks
  • process vessels
  • chemical tanks
  • water treatment tanks
  • tanks requiring fixed installation
  • applications where cable-only hanging is not preferred

For closed tanks or tanks with internal pressure, the application must be checked carefully. If the gas pressure above the liquid changes, a differential pressure level transmitter may be required instead.


Rod Type Liquid Level Transmitter

The rod type level transmitter uses a rigid probe instead of a flexible cable. It is suitable for applications where the measuring depth is not very large and where the probe position must remain fixed.

It is often used for:

  • small tanks
  • process vessels
  • shallow liquid level applications
  • tanks with mild agitation
  • installations where cable movement is not acceptable

Anti-Corrosion PTFE Level Transmitter

For corrosive liquids, the transmitter can be designed with anti-corrosion materials such as PTFE. This structure is suitable for acidic, alkaline, or chemically aggressive media where stainless steel may not be suitable.

Before selecting PTFE or other anti-corrosion materials, the exact medium, concentration, temperature, and pressure should be confirmed.


Industrial Applications of TK-YB Input Type Liquid Level Transmitter

Water Tank Level Measurement

The TK-YB is widely used for water tank level monitoring in industrial plants, buildings, water supply systems, and utility systems.

Well and Groundwater Level Measurement

The cable type structure is suitable for deep wells and groundwater monitoring. The probe can be lowered into the well, while the transmitter signal is transmitted to a display or control system.

Wastewater and Sewage Treatment

Used in wastewater tanks, sewage pits, treatment pools, and sludge-related liquid level applications. For wastewater containing sediment or corrosive components, material and probe protection should be selected carefully.

Reservoir and Open Pool Level Monitoring

Suitable for reservoirs, ponds, open pools, canals, and other open liquid level applications where hydrostatic measurement is practical.

Chemical Storage Tank Level Measurement

With suitable wetted materials, the TK-YB can be used for chemical tank level measurement. For corrosive liquids, PTFE or other anti-corrosion structures may be required.

Industrial Process Vessel Level Measurement

The flange-mounted type can be used for process vessels or storage tanks where a fixed flange connection is required.

Water Treatment and Environmental Systems

Used in filtration systems, dosing tanks, clean water tanks, wastewater tanks, and environmental monitoring projects.
