The buoy level transmitter operates on the principle of buoyancy, and its measurement principle is shown in the figure. When the liquid level is at the zero level, the torsion tube is subjected to the torque generated by the weight of the buoy (at this time, the torque is maximum), and the torsion tube's rotation angle is at "zero" degrees. As the liquid level gradually rises to the maximum, the torsion tube is acted upon by the torque generated by the maximum buoyancy (at this time, the torque is minimum) and rotates by an angle φ. The transmitter converts this rotation angle φ into a 4~20mA DC signal, which is proportional to the measured liquid level.

The torsion tube is a tube made of elastic alloy. As shown in the figure, a mandrel is welded in the middle of one end (called the free end), and the other end is fixed to the instrument housing. During operation, when the buoy's buoyancy changes due to liquid level variation, this buoyancy causes the free end of the torsion tube to rotate through a lever. The mandrel then rotates accordingly and transmits the rotation in the form of an angle.
Therefore, the function of the torsion tube in the buoy level transmitter is to convert the linear displacement measured by the buoy into the angular displacement of the torsion tube mandrel, and to isolate the high-pressure part inside the measured vessel from the low-pressure external environment.
The buoy level transmitter consists of a measuring part and a conversion part (amplifier).
- Measuring Part: Composed of a buoy and suspension chain, transmission rod, torsion tube, and housing.
- Conversion Part: Composed of the amplifier's microprocessor, electronic circuit, and LCD/operation keys.
