 1. Introduction
 
 Overview of Hydrostatic Level Transmitters
Hydrostatic level transmitters are widely used for measuring liquid levels in tanks, wells, and other containers. They operate based on the hydrostatic pressure exerted by the liquid column.
 Importance of Trapped Air Technology
The trapped air system creates a barrier between the sensing diaphragm and the liquid, preventing direct contact. This innovative design significantly reduces the risk of plugging, scaling, and corrosion, ensuring long-term reliability and accuracy.

 4. Trapped Air Technology
 How It Works
The trapped air system creates an air pocket between the diaphragm and the liquid. This air pocket acts as a buffer, preventing direct contact with the liquid while still allowing accurate pressure measurement. There is a difference between the pressure in the air pocket and the hydrostatic pressure. By a smart and innovative technique this difference compensated and the result is an accurate indication of level of liquid.
 Advantages Over Traditional Designs
- Reduced Plugging: Prevents solids from accumulating on the diaphragm.
- Scaling Resistance: Minimizes mineral deposits and scaling.
- Reduced Fouling: Prevents corrosive substances in the liquid from the sensing element.
- Extended Diaphragm Life: Reduces wear and tear caused by abrasive media.
- Increase the life of instrument and dramatically reduce the maintenance costs and production down time.
