Hydrostatic Level Measurement: Submersible vs DP, Explained by Physics
Hydrostatic level measurement uses P=ρgh to read tank level. Learn the physics once, then jump to the right deep-dive — submersible probe or DP transmitter — for your tank.

A submersible level transmitter lives or dies by how it handles six field stresses — lightning, vent-tube condensation, silt, cable damage, freeze, and chemical attack. Here is the variant-selection and diagnostic playbook our field team uses.
Differential pressure level measurement explained: hydrostatic principle, four install configs (open tank, closed tank dry/wet leg, bubbler), LRV/URV calculation, interface measurement, and how DP compares to radar and guided-wave for refinery, tank farm, and separator service.
