The OMEGA® LVAB10 non-invasive air bubble and
level detector provides continuous monitoring of fluid
level, air bubbles or foam in chemical processing and
infusion systems when connected to a capillary or
other type of tube. The LVAB10 will positively indicate
the presence of any break in the flow of any liquid with
a TTL output. The unit simply clamps onto the tube, it
never comes in contact with the liquid, so there is no
chance of contamination.
The LVAB10 consists of an ultrasonic sensor and
integral electronics. The electronics sends an
ultrasonic signal across the tube, the presence of
a bubble, air or foam in the liquid will interrupt the
transmission and generate an output. This output is
a real-time indication of the disturbance in the liquid.
