NC-25 Plastic Level Switch
The NC25 Level Switch is a compact, non-intrusive sensor designed to detect liquid presence, absence, or air bubbles through plastic tubing. Engineered for high precision and reliability, it supports tubing sizes of ¼”, ⅜”, and ½”, including heavy-walled tubing up to 0.25″. Its all-plastic construction ensures chemical compatibility and lightweight handling, while the simple clamp-on design makes installation fast and tool-free.
Ideal for dosing and metering pump systems, the NC25 features adjustable sensitivity for precise calibration across a range of applications. With built-in air bubble detection and true flow/no-flow monitoring, it delivers dependable performance in critical fluid control systems—without ever touching the process media.

- What is a Radar Level Sensor?
A liquid level sensor operates by detecting the presence or absence of material or determining the level of material
within a container. This is achieved using various technologies like capacitance, ultrasonic waves, or, as in the case of
radar, by measuring the time taken for a signal to bounce back from the material surface. Level sensing can be contact
or non-contact-based, depending on the method employed. A radar level sensor is a device used to measure the level of
liquids, solids, or slurries in various challenging industrial applications. It utilizes radar technology to determine the
distance from the sensor to the surface of the material being measured.
