Knowing exactly how much media is present in a tank or how much product is in a cargo hold is essential for running a ship. The measurement is usually performed by a level instrument using methods such as radar, ultrasonic, electrical capacity, floaters (relays) or pressure. A level measurement can be used in many applications e.g. automating the loading and transfer of cargo, ballast water and fuel to their respective tanks as well as ensure the stability of the vessel via level based trim monitoring.
Level Probe
LMK 858
The LMK 858 from BD Sensors is a separable plastic immersion probe, which is designed to measure level in aggressive media like acids and alkalis), desalination plants, and for use in more viscous media such as sludge.
Moreover, the probe’s head can be separated from the cable part, which both reduces maintenance or service tasks, as well as it simplifies storage.
Level transmitter
LMP 331i
The LMP 331i from BD Sensors is a precision screw-in transmitter where the signal processing is done with a 16-bit analog digital converter. Consequently, you can conduct an active compensation.
Moreover, the transmitter is exceptional in measuring and is cost-effective.
Level transmitter
LMP 331
The LMP 331 from BD Sensors is a screw-in transmitter, which is designed to measure level continuously. Moreover, the modular construction of the transmitter gives you a high degree of flexibility, when adapting it to your application. This is a transmitter that also gives you exceptional performance and vigorous construction
Level transmitter
LMK 331
The LMK 331 is a screw-in transmitter from BD Sensors, which has been designed to measure level and process. It is applicable to measure also pressure of liquids, oils, and gases. Furthermore, the semi-flush pressure sensor makes it possible to also use the LMK 331 in more viscous or polluted media.

The Basics of Level Measurement
Level measurement is basicly measuring the quantity of a product within a vessel/tank. This could be either a soild or liquid substance like oil, chemicals or coal. The level measurement device is usually placed on the top of the vessel or the bottom/side depending on the measuring princible.
When doing a continuous level measurement a level transmitter detects the level of a medium in a tank and converts it into an electrical signal. The level signal can be displayed locally or incorporated into an on board management system.
A point level detection is a level transmitter which detects when a certain predefined level is reached. A switching command starts or stops filling equipment or similar from the sensor signal.
We offer level sensors across all the different measuring principels which includes:
- Radar
- Guided Wave Radar
- Ultrasonic
- Capacitive
- Hydrostatic
- Radiation-based
- Vibration
