A chemical tank level system for a wellbore chemical injection tank is provided. The system includes a pressure sensor is located downstream of the chemical injection tank where the fluidic pressure is essentially the same as the fluidic pressure at the base of the chemical tank. The pressure sensor sends a signal indicative of the fluidic pressure to a tank level sensor module. The tank level sensor module receives the signal from the pressure sensor. A processor takes a series of pressure sensor signals over a sample window and calculates an average of the signals over a defined time window.

Curb for measuring flood depth in urban area

The present invention provides a curb for measuring the flood depth in an urban area, more particularly, to a curb for measuring the flood depth in an urban area, which is configured to demarcate the boundary between a vehicular roadway and a pedestrian sidewalk to measure the flood depth so that the flood depth in the urban area can be measured without the necessity for additional installation of a separate structure. In particular, the present invention has an effect in that an air contact type water level gauge is installed in a first space of a main body to measure the flood depth, i.e., the level of flooding water based on the internal air pressure of a cylindrical tube so that a pressure sensor is not brought into close contact with the flooding water to prevent corrosion of the pressure sensor, thereby reducing the maintenance and repair costs.

A fluid level sensor assembly includes a first housing part having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet and a fluid flow channel between the inlet and the outlet. The assembly also includes a sensor housing part formed on or integral with the first housing part and defining a sensing flow channel between a sensor end and a closed end, and has an opening from the sensing flow channel to the fluid flow channel of the first housing part. The assembly also includes level sensor components provided in the sensor flow channel at the sensor end, the level sensor components comprising: an actuator, and a switch component. The actuator and the switch component are arranged in the sensing flow channel such that when the pressure fluid in the fluid flow channel increases to increase the pressure in the sensing flow channel.

Method of Operating a Laboratory Instrument

Disclosed is a method and laboratory instrument aimed at reducing the loss of time of liquid level determination each time a liquid container is loaded into an instrument and at the same time reducing waste of liquid containers due to unforeseen changes in the liquid levels by combining a fast liquid level check at an expected liquid level with a liquid level search if no liquid level is found at the expected level, while also ensuring proper liquid aspiration as the liquid level is always verified (expected level is not blindly relied upon).
