Product Introduction
Product Model: YTUB-31
The ultrasonic fuel level sensor is an externally mounted measurement solution designed for liquid level heights in fuel tanks, containers, and vessels. It is primarily utilized in oil tanker monitoring systems to detect fuel theft, optimize operational costs, and support real-time monitoring.
Utilizing ultrasonic detection principles, the sensor measures fuel level height and converts it into volume through intelligent processing. The system enables real-time tracking of variations without contacting the liquid, making it suitable for chemical, water conservancy, and industrial storage applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How does the non-contact ultrasonic sensor measure fuel levels?
It operates on the ultrasonic echo ranging principle. The probe, mounted externally on the bottom of the tank, sends waves through the tank wall and liquid, measuring the time it takes for the echo to return to calculate the precise height.
Q2: Do I need to drill any holes in my fuel tank for installation?
No drilling is required. The sensor is designed for external mounting, which preserves the original structure of the fuel tank and avoids potential leak points.
Q3: What types of tank materials are compatible with this sensor?
The sensor is highly versatile and works effectively with conventional tank materials including aluminum alloy, iron, and various industrial plastics.
Q4: What is the maximum measuring range and accuracy?
The standard measuring range is up to 4 meters (400cm). It offers high precision with an accuracy of less than 0.5% FS and a measurement resolution of 0.1mm.
Q5: Can this sensor be integrated with GPS tracking systems?
Yes, the sensor features RS232 and analog voltage interfaces, making it easy to connect with vehicle telematics units and GPS trackers for real-time remote monitoring.
Q6: Is the sensor durable for extreme weather conditions?
Absolutely. The sensor is IP67 rated for water and dust resistance and is built to operate reliably in temperatures ranging from -30℃ to +70℃.
