The Permalevel® Single Point is a fixed-level monitoring device designed for use in a variety of industrial, safety and manufacturing applications.
The sensor, placed on the outside of the tank, can trigger an alert if the liquid level rises or falls below a fixed point, sending a 4-20mA output to interact with other equipment.
The Permalevel® Single Point is designed to offer maximum flexibility across a wide range of fixed-point level monitoring applications. The main principle of the system involves fixing an ultrasonic sensor to a critical position on the side of the container being tested. This critical position can be found and verified using a Portalevel® unit and the Portasteele® Calculator. The unit will then non-invasively monitor whether or not liquid is present inside the cylinder at this point. As soon as the liquid level rises above or falls below this point, this will trigger an alert from the Permalevel® Single Point. This alert can interface with any alarm or management system operating in the facility. There are a wide variety of applications for this system, including pressurised cylinders, storage tanks and pipes.

The most accurate and fast acting constants loss monitoring system of its kind. Capable of detecting a loss of agent mass to within 1% in Inert gas, CO2 and Clean Agent systems, and in addition to weigh loss, will provide accurate percentage pressure loss of Inert gas systems associated with agent contents leakage.
The PermaMass® FEATHERWEIGHT is only manufactured to bespoke requirements.

As one of the world’s first innovative portable ultrasonic liquid level indicator with a brand new dual certification, Coltraco Ultrasonic’s Portalevel® INTRINSICALLY SAFE (Portalevel® IS) meets stringent safety standards for explosive atmospheres, making it suitable for use globally in both Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas. The device measures liquid levels contained in fire suppression cylinders and other types of tanks stored in hazardous zone environments.
In the maritime industry, ensuring safety isn’t just a best practice—it’s a necessity. According to Lloyd’s List, almost 10% of all total losses at sea in the last decade were caused by fires onboard. As NTSB Chairman Robert Sumwalt rightly said, “Safety isn’t something you have, it’s something you do.” When lives are at stake, neglecting fire systems and their maintenance is simply unacceptable.
