APPLICATION GUIDE // WATER & IRRIGATION

Hydrostatic Level Measurement for Irrigation

Canal drop gates, lift irrigation sumps, tube wells & agricultural balancing reservoirs

THE OPERATING CHALLENGE

Why Standard Catalog Sensors Often Fail in this Application

Submerged deep underground or in sediment-heavy canal sumps where silt, algae, and lightning surges through long outdoor signal lines frequently damage sensors.

PROCESS PARAMETER PROFILEENGINEERING BASELINE
Typical Working Range:0–5 mH2O to 0–300 mH2O (0.5 to 30 bar)
Process Media:Raw river water, groundwater, sediment-laden canal water
Fluid & Ambient Temp:0°C to +60°C
Primary Failure Risk:Silt clogging diaphragm face and lightning transients on outdoor cable runs
ENGINEERING SELECTION CHECKLIST

What to Specify When Ordering for this Process

  • Removable protective nose cone for easy cleaning and sediment protection
  • Vented polyurethane (PUR) cable with internal moisture barrier filter
  • 4–20 mA 2-wire loop for direct connection to solar pump drives or RTUs
  • External lightning surge protection module recommended at the surface junction box
ACT FIELD INSTALLATION ADVICE

In turbulent pump wells, suspend the sensor inside a perforated PVC stilling well to damp velocity waves and prevent the probe from striking the well wall.
