King-Gage pressure transmitter |
Hydrostatic pressure is defined as "The pressure exerted by a fluid at equilibrium at a given point within the fluid, due to the force of gravity. Hydrostatic pressure increases in proportion to depth measured from the surface because of the increasing weight of fluid exerting downward force from above.”
Pressure transmitters are a simple and accurate choice for measuring liquid level in storage tanks or processing tanks.

Alternatively, level equals the hydrostatic head pressure value divided by the density of the liquid.
