Key Takeaways
- Rajkot plants measure level in coolant tanks, oil sumps, water tanks and bore wells.
- A hydrostatic transmitter is the simple, robust choice for water tanks, pump test sumps and bore wells.
- Oil sumps and storage tanks that need precise readings suit a magnetostrictive transmitter.
- We supply RB XSENSE level transmitters and switches to Rajkot from Ahmedabad.
Level measurement in Rajkot is rarely glamorous but always necessary. Machine shops need to know when a coolant tank is running low, engine and hydraulic systems depend on oil sumps staying above a minimum, pump makers run test sumps that must hold a steady water level, and almost every unit relies on bore wells and overhead tanks for water. RB Automation is a level transmitter and hydrostatic level transmitter supplier in Rajkot: we ship submersible, float-based and non-contact instruments from Ahmedabad and help you decide which principle suits each tank.
Level Instruments in Our Range
Hydrostatic level transmitter (RB21W)
The RB XSENSE RB21W is a sealed stainless steel probe that hangs on its cable at the bottom of the tank or well. It senses the weight of the water column above it, and since that pressure is proportional to depth, the 4-20 mA output gives the level directly. No moving parts and nothing above the liquid to foul.
Magnetostrictive level transmitter (RBL01)
The RB XSENSE RBL01 has a float that rides along a guide tube. The transmitter locates the float precisely, giving a fine-resolution reading for storage and process tanks where the exact quantity matters.
Ultrasonic and laser sensors
An ultrasonic level sensor is mounted on top of the tank and times an echo off the surface, so nothing touches the liquid. A laser distance sensor works with a narrow beam, useful for bins, hoppers and narrow openings.
Level switches
Level switches give a simple on/off signal at a set point for high-level, low-level and pump dry-run protection.
All of these are grouped on the level sensing page.
Picking the Right Principle
Each method has a sweet spot. Hydrostatic is the lowest-cost continuous reading and ignores foam or vapour, but it has to sit in the liquid. Magnetostrictive gives the finest resolution, as long as nothing in the liquid sticks to the float or jams it on the tube. Ultrasonic avoids contact but can be confused by heavy foam, steam or internal obstructions. Laser suits solids and narrow vessels. Switches are not a replacement for a transmitter, but they are the cheapest insurance against a dry-running pump or an overflowing tank.
Information We Need to Recommend a Level Transmitter
- Tank height or well depth, and the range you want to read.
- The liquid: water, coolant emulsion, hydraulic or lube oil, effluent, slip or chemical.
- Temperature, any foam or vapour, and whether the tank is open or closed.
- How it will be mounted: hung on a cable, top flange or side entry.
- What will read it: a PLC analogue input, a panel indicator or a relay.
Level Measurement Around Rajkot
CNC and SPM builders in Aji GIDC and Bhaktinagar fit level switches and transmitters to coolant tanks on the machines they build. Engine and pump plants at Metoda GIDC, Shapar-Veraval and Kuvadva monitor lube oil sumps, hydraulic tanks and the large water sumps used on pump test benches. Across the city's estates and Gondal GIDC, hydrostatic transmitters watch bore wells and overhead tanks. Further out, Morbi's ceramic plants track water and slip tanks, and Jetpur's dyeing units monitor process water and effluent tanks.
Level Instruments for Rajkot Tanks
| Tank or vessel | Typical liquid | Suggested instrument | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bore well or underground sump | Water | RB21W hydrostatic | Hangs on its cable; simple and robust |
| Pump test sump | Water | RB21W hydrostatic plus level switch | Continuous level and a dry-run cut-off |
| Engine or hydraulic oil sump | Clean oil | RBL01 magnetostrictive or level switch | Fine resolution or a low-oil interlock |
| CNC coolant tank | Coolant emulsion | Level switch or ultrasonic sensor | Low-level alarm without parts in the chips |
| Hopper or narrow bin | Solids | Laser distance sensor | Narrow beam reaches the surface |
| Dye or effluent tank (Jetpur) | Process or waste water | Ultrasonic or hydrostatic | No contact, or simple submersible reading |
A Typical Level Application in Rajkot
A typical water arrangement at an engineering unit in Kuvadva or Gondal GIDC: a bore well pump fills an underground sump, and a transfer pump lifts water from the sump to an overhead tank that feeds the shop and the cooling circuit. A hydrostatic transmitter in the bore well shows how far the water table has dropped, one in the sump shows how much is stored, and a level switch in the overhead tank tells the PLC when to stop the transfer pump. A second switch near the bottom of the sump protects the transfer pump from running dry even if a transmitter cable is cut during civil work, which is common on busy sites.
Common Level Measurement Mistakes to Avoid
- Ordering a hydrostatic probe with a cable shorter than the well depth plus the run to the panel.
- Blocking the vent tube in a hydrostatic cable, which makes the reading drift with the weather.
- Using an ultrasonic sensor where steam or foam sits on the surface.
- Placing a float-type probe in a liquid full of metal chips or sludge.
- Trusting one transmitter alone, with no separate high or low switch.
What to Send for a Level Transmitter Quote
- How deep the tank or well is, and what range you want to read
- The liquid and its temperature
- Mounting arrangement: cable, top or side
- Output needed: 4-20 mA, indicator or relay contact
- Cable length to the panel, and the quantity
Why Choose RB Automation for Level Transmitters in Rajkot
Because RB XSENSE is our own brand, questions about probe length, cable length and output get a direct answer rather than a referral. The PLCs and indicators that display the reading come from us too, and Rajkot customers get selection help by phone, WhatsApp and email. Plants that also need to measure line pressure can turn to the Rajkot pressure transmitter guide; the complete product list is on the industrial automation supplier in Rajkot page.
Conclusion
Coolant tanks, oil sumps, test sumps and bore wells each call for a slightly different instrument. Tell RB Automation the depth, the liquid and how you want to read the signal, and we will propose a suitable transmitter or switch for your Rajkot plant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which level transmitters do you supply to Rajkot?
We supply the RB XSENSE RB21W hydrostatic level transmitter, the RBL01 magnetostrictive level transmitter, ultrasonic level sensors, laser distance sensors and level switches, from our base in Ahmedabad.
Which level transmitter suits a bore well?
A hydrostatic level transmitter such as the RB21W is usually the best fit. It hangs on its cable near the bottom of the well and gives a 4-20 mA level signal. Tell us the well depth so we can match the range and cable length.
How can I monitor the coolant tank on a CNC machine?
A level switch gives a simple low-level alarm, while a hydrostatic or ultrasonic transmitter gives a continuous reading to the PLC. Share the tank size and coolant type and we will suggest an option.
Can you measure oil level in an engine or hydraulic sump?
Yes. A magnetostrictive transmitter such as the RBL01 gives a precise continuous reading in clean oil, and a level switch can act as a low-oil interlock.
What is the price of a level transmitter in Rajkot?
There is no fixed price list. The price depends on the measuring principle, range, cable or probe length, output and quantity. Use the form on this page, call +91 8511104864 or email contact@rbautomate.com for a quotation.
