Non-contact Radar (specifically with a PTFE antenna shield) is best because it is unaffected by vapors/fumes. Ultrasonic sensors often fail as fumes absorb the sound waves, causing signal loss.

Electromagnetic flow meters cannot be used, as DI water is non-conductive. Instead, a Vortex flow meter, Turbine meter, or Ultrasonic flow meter, which do not rely on fluid conductivity, should be utilized.

Yes, but moisture in chlorine gas creates hydrochloric acid, which attacks steel. A pressure transmitter with a diaphragm seal made of Tantalum or Hastelloy C is required, along with a fill fluid that is inert to chlorine (like Halocarbon oil) in case of rupture.

Precise temperature control is key. Redundant temperature sensors (e.g., dual RTDs) and fast-response thermowells are used to provide immediate feedback to the cooling jacket control valve.

A tuning fork liquid level switch or a conductive point level switch is reliable for leak detection. They are simple, robust, and trigger an immediate alarm when liquid touches the probe.

Coriolis flow meters are the only technology that measures true mass flow directly. They are unaffected by changes in density, viscosity, or temperature, making them perfect for precise chemical batching.

Yes, modern process sensors typically output 4-20mA as a standard, with digital protocols like HART, RS485 (Modbus), or Profibus PA available as options for deeper integration and remote diagnostics.
