Liquid level sensing in drip chambers with ultrasonic technology

INTROTEK® Non-Invasive Drip Chamber Level Sensors are custom-engineered for use with soft-bodied drip chambers or larger OD tubing to counteract issues such as relaxation, slippage, or vibration that can trigger false air alarms.

Each sensor is specifically designed to match the intended drip chamber and available in both single- and multipoint detection configurations. These sensors are developed to meet OEM requirements for precise form, fit, and functional specifications across various diameters and tapers.
