Pressure measuring instruments come in various types, each designed to meet specific requirements for measuring pressure under different conditions.

The temperature transmitter is the device, which connects to the temperature sensor to transmit a signal for monitoring and controlling purposes.

​Open-channel flow meters measure water level, flow rate, and total volume in weirs, flumes, channels, and partially filled pipes.

Ultrasonic level meters operate by emitting ultrasonic waves and measuring the time for the waves to bounce back from the liquid surface.

Radar flow meters, by contrast, use microwave radar technology to determine the flow characteristics of a liquid or even a gas. These meters operate by emitting microwave pulses toward the fluid interface

The biggest difference between ultrasonic and electromagnetic flow meters is that ultrasonic flow meters do not require a conductive liquid to work. They also measure gases but fare less well with liquids that contain many solids or bubbles. Ultrasonic meters are able to withstand high temperatures and high pressure.
