Level gauge
The portable Radar Liquid Level Gauge from Rain for Rent continuously measures liquid levels with a non-intrusive 26 GHz radar signal. Monitoring, measuring, and controlling liquid levels in portable or fixed tanks is simplified with the portable radar gauge. Level measurements are not affected by temperature (-40° to 266°F), gas, vapor or liquid agitation. Accuracy is ± .12" of liquid with a measuring range of 99 ft. The analog signal output can be used to control process instruments and FVD pumps for flow monitoring and liquid levels.

Flow switch
The NuTec™ FS2000H Flow Switch from Fluid Components International provides precise, rapid control in liquids, slurries, gases and air. Designed with an insertion style non-invasive flow sensor, the switch is unaffected by entrained particles or bubbles. It installs in minutes as an insertion-type flow switch, which never clogs or impedes flow because its unique sensor doesn’t protrude into the media. That means there is absolutely no pressure-drop as well.
