ADW High-Precision Through-Wall Liquid Level Sensor: Accurate Liquid Level Monitoring Without Drilling or Direct Contact

2026.05.30

ADW introduces its innovative ultrasonic through-wall liquid level sensor, designed to deliver highly accurate, non-contact liquid level measurement through metal and plastic enclosures. By eliminating the need for drilling, direct liquid contact, or container modification, this advanced sensing solution addresses longstanding challenges in liquid level monitoring and offers a safer, more reliable alternative for sealed and pressurized systems.

               Feature                                         Specifications

Through-Wall Capability

Measures through metal and plastic containers

Measurement Range

15–500 mm

Accuracy

±1 mm

Communication Interface

UART

Installation Method

External mounting, no drilling required


Non-Invasive Installation Through Container Walls

Traditional liquid level sensors often require openings in tanks or reservoirs, creating potential leakage risks and compromising structural integrity.

The ADW through-wall liquid level sensor utilizes proprietary ultrasonic signal processing technology to accurately measure liquid levels from outside the container. The sensor can effectively penetrate stainless steel, aluminum, PP, PVC, ABS, and other common materials, enabling precise liquid level detection without direct contact with the medium.

Installation is simple: the sensor is attached externally to the side or bottom of the container, making it ideal for:

  • Sealed tanks and reservoirs

  • Pressurized vessels

  • Corrosive liquid storage systems

  • Purified water and sterile fluid applications

Millimeter-Level Accuracy and Reliable Performance

Within a measurement range of 15 mm to 500 mm, the sensor achieves an accuracy of ±1 mm.

Advanced onboard algorithms effectively compensate for:

  • Container wall reflections

  • Temperature variations

  • Environmental interference

This ensures stable and reliable performance even in demanding operating conditions.

Digital Output for Seamless Integration

The sensor supports UART communication and provides direct digital liquid level output without requiring additional signal-conditioning circuitry.

Real-time data can be easily integrated into:

  • Microcontroller-based systems

  • PLC platforms

  • IoT devices

  • Smart monitoring solutions

This significantly shortens development cycles and reduces system complexity.

Compact Design for Flexible Integration

Featuring a compact footprint, the sensor can be easily integrated into equipment housings or mounted externally on containers where installation space is limited.

Its flexible design makes it suitable for a wide range of applications requiring reliable liquid level monitoring.
