Market Overview:
The global mechanical float level sensors market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for these sensors in various industries such as petroleum, chemical, food, and others. Additionally, the growing awareness about energy conservation is also propelling the growth of this market. Based on type, the global mechanical float level sensors market can be segmented into switch type and continuous type. The switch type segment is expected to hold a larger share of this market during the forecast period owing to its low cost and easy installation. Based on application, the global mechanical float level sensors market can be divided into petroleum industry, chemical industry, food industry, and others.
Product Definition:
A mechanical float level sensor is a device that uses a floating element to detect the level of liquid in a tank. The floating element is typically a ball or bobbin that is attached to a lever arm. As the level of liquid in the tank changes, so does the position of the floating element. This movement can be used to activate or control an electric switch, which then sends an electronic signal indicating the level of liquid in the tank.
Switch Type:
The switch type is used in mechanical float level sensors market for the purpose of on-off detection. It’s a closed circuit with two conductors, one of which is normally connected to the water and other to the air. When there is an increase in pressure difference between these two circuits, then electrical current will flow through this gap and it constitutes as a switch operation.
There are different types of switches such as contact, relay.
Continuous Type:
Continuous type level sensors are used in mechanical float level sensors to measure the liquid surface elevation. These devices have a sealed case and can be deployed with or without a protective cover. They contain an internal pressure source that drives the sensor membrane into contact with the liquid, typically oil or water. The physical properties of liquids such as specific heat and thermal conductivity affect how these sensors perform in various applications including temperature measurement, flow rate measurement, and level detection among others.
Application Insights:
Petroleum industry was the largest application segment in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The chemical industry is also one of the significant users of these sensors owing to their ability to measure small differences in water level with high accuracy. Food processing plants are also likely to be early adopters of these devices owing to their need for precise level measurement during packaging operations. Other applications include water treatment, power generation, and civil engineering where precision level measurement is required for safety purposes or regulatory compliance.
The food industry has been particularly aggressive in adopting MFLTLS as they offer advantages such as improved accuracy due to built-in damping characteristics, immunity from vibration & movement, low power consumption & maintenance costs compared with other technologies such as optical float switches and hall effect sensors which were previously used extensively across this sector.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region has been witnessing significant growth in several industries, such as food & beverage, chemical, petroleum refining and power generation. This can be attributed to increasing demand for industrial automation across emerging economies of Asia Pacific.
The rising need for efficient energy solutions along with growing manufacturing sector is anticipated to drive the Europe market over the forecast period. In addition, presence of major companies involved in mechanical float level sensors production will support regional growth through 2018-19 fiscal year.
North America was one of the prominent markets that witnessed moderate growth owing to increased spending on oil & gas exploration activities coupled with steady demand from petrochemical plants located within U.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for advanced level sensors in automotive and process industries
- Growing popularity of MEMS technology in level sensing applications
- Proliferation of microcontroller-based systems for efficient data processing
- Rising demand for reliable and accurate float sensors across different end-use industries
- Technological advancements to develop low-cost, high performance float sensors
