AFRISO Germany oil level sensor – Practical solution for measuring heavy oil/Diesel levels at the factory
In heavy oil – Diesel – hydraulic oil – industrial lubricant tank systems, the hydrostatic pressure level measurement method (Hydrostatic Pressure Level Sensor) is considered the most reliable solution, especially in environments with thick oil, hot oil or lots of residue.
Phat Dat Company is currently distributing and widely installing AFRISO – Germany oil level sensors, applying the principle of P = ρ × g × h, for high accuracy and absolute stability in continuous operation 24/7.
1. What is a hydrostatic oil level sensor?
Hydrostatic oil level sensor measures the level by:
Placing the sensor head on the bottom of the oil tank
Oil creates pressure on the sensor membrane
Converting pressure value → oil level according to the hydrostatic formula

¶ Very suitable for:
Viscous & heavy heavy oil/Diesel oil
Outdoor oil tanks (wind, vibration, heat)
Measuring the level in the return oil pipe - supply oil
Environments with oil vapor - oil foam that radar & capacitance sensors often interfere with
¶ Outstanding advantages compared to Radar or Capacitance
Not affected by oil foam, heat, residue
Not interfered if the tank has a stirring tube or vortex pipe
Measures dense - viscous - large temperature change environment
Cheaper than radar but equivalent stability
2. Practical application at the factory (actual image provided by the customer)
At a factory in the Southern region, the customer is operating a 9,000 liter Diesel oil tank floating on ground (actual image below). This tank is used to supply oil to generators, forklifts, trucks and combustion systems, so the amount of oil imported and exported changes continuously every day. The customer encountered great difficulty because he did not know exactly how much oil was left in the tank, only estimated by the naked eye, so it was easy to lose and difficult to control.
After searching for solutions such as DO oil level sensor, oil tank level transmitter or oil level 4-20mA on Google, the customer contacted Phat Dat Company for advice. We surveyed the actual oil tank and proposed using the hydrostatic oil level sensor of AFRISO - Germany, specialized for DO - Diesel environment, installed from the bottom of the tank and displaying accurately.
The hydrostatic oil tank level sensor solution of the manufacturer AFRISO helps customers:
⇒ Accurately monitor the remaining oil level after each oil withdrawal
⇒ Avoid loss, better inventory control
⇒ Continuous monitoring in the control room
⇒ No need to open the tank for manual inspection as before
⇒ No need to drill, cut, weld, or cut the tank when installing the oil level sensor
After installation, the system operates stably, the signal is smooth and accurate. Customers highly appreciate the technical advice and implementation services of Phat Dat Company.
