How does the HHY700 anti-corrosion level transmitter solve measurement challenges in strong acid and strong alkali environments?
Added to Favorites:125

In extreme industrial environments such as strong acids and strong alkalis, traditional liquid level measurement equipment often fails due to corrosion issues. The HHY700 anti-corrosion submersible level transmitter adopts advanced ceramic anti-corrosion technology and is specifically designed to solve this industry pain point. This article provides an in-depth analysis of how it ensures long-term stable operation in corrosive media through special materials and structural innovation, offering reliable liquid level monitoring solutions for enterprises in chemical processing, electroplating, and other industries.


I. Challenges of Liquid Level Measurement in Strong Acid and Strong Alkali Environments

Industries such as chemical processing, electroplating, and pharmaceuticals often need to handle highly corrosive media such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and sodium hydroxide. Traditional metal sensors operating in environments with a pH value lower than 2 or higher than 12 are prone to the following problems:

  • Electrode corrosion causes signal drift, with an error rate reaching ±5% or more
  • Aging seals lead to medium leakage, with an average service life of less than 6 months
  • Corrosion of wetted parts causes measurement failure, resulting in annual unplanned downtime losses exceeding millions

Test data from Xi'an Shenghongchuang Instrument Co., Ltd. show that in a 40% concentration sulfuric acid solution, ordinary 316L stainless steel sensors can only maintain normal operation for 72 hours, while the HHY700 series using ceramic anti-corrosion technology can operate continuously for more than 5 years.


II. Analysis of HHY700 Core Technologies

1. Multilayer Composite Ceramic Protection System

This transmitter uses alumina ceramic (Al₂O₃) as the base material and achieves dual protection through the following processes:

Protective layerMaterialCorrosion resistance index
Surface treatment layerNano-scale silicon nitride coatingResistant to 98% concentrated sulfuric acid(30℃)
Structural reinforcement layerZirconia-toughened alumina ceramicHydrofluoric acid corrosion resistance rating A

Compared with similar products such as ZC-185 and PTJ302, the ceramic sintering density of HHY700 reaches 3.92g/cm³, with porosity lower than 0.1%, fundamentally preventing medium penetration.

2. Fully Sealed Structural Design

The following innovative designs achieve an IP68 protection rating:

  • Laser welding technology replaces traditional O-ring sealing
  • The ceramic-metal transition layer adopts hot isostatic pressing technology
  • The signal cable outlet is provided with triple epoxy resin potting seal

Practical applications show that this design enables models such as EVT300B and DH712 to still maintain a measurement accuracy of 0.1%FS in a 10-meter-deep strong alkali tank.


III. Industry Application Scenarios and Benefit Analysis

1. Electroplating Production Line Monitoring

After a large electroplating enterprise adopted the YM-BCYW series:

  • The sensor replacement cycle for the chromic acid solution tank was extended from 3 months to 5 years
  • Liquid level control accuracy improved to ±0.05%
  • Annual maintenance costs decreased by 62%

2. Safety Monitoring of Chemical Storage Tanks

Performance of the SSM-P220FS model in hydrochloric acid storage tanks:

  • Passed SIL2 safety certification, with MTBF (mean time between failures) reaching 150,000 hours
  • 4-20mA+HART output compatible with DCS systems
  • Temperature compensation range -40℃~125℃

IV. Selection Guide and Technical Comparison

Recommended models for different medium characteristics:

Media TypeRecommended ModelsSpecial Treatment
Hydrofluoric acidLMK809-396 seriesPlatinum electrode + special Teflon coating
High-temperature alkaline solutionYM-QYYW seriesDouble-layer ceramic thermal insulation structure

Compared with traditional models such as CL192, the HHY700 series has an annual corrosion rate of only 0.002mm in a 50℃ concentrated nitric acid environment, far below the industry standard of 0.02mm.
