What type of sensor would be best to determine the level of fluid in a tank?

There are several types of sensors that can be used to determine the level of fluid in a tank:
Submersible Pressure sensors: These sensors measure the pressure exerted by the fluid in a tank to determine the level of fluid. They are accurate and reliable, and are designed to work in corrosive applications. They are not affected by foam, vapor, condensate or turbulence

Ultrasonic sensors: These sensors use sound waves to measure the level of fluid in a tank. They are non-intrusive and can be used to measure the level of fluid in a tank through a variety of materials, such as plastic or glass.

Radar sensors: These sensors use radio waves to measure the level of fluid in a tank. They are non-intrusive and can be used to measure the level of fluid in a tank through a variety of materials, such as plastic or glass.

Capacitance sensors: These sensors use the capacitance of a material to measure the level of fluid in a tank. They are non-intrusive and can be used to measure the level of fluid in a tank through a variety of materials, such as plastic or glass.

Float sensors: These sensors use a float that rises or falls with the level of fluid in a tank. They are simple and reliable, but they may not be suitable for use in harsh or corrosive environments.

It is important to consider the specific requirements of your application when selecting a sensor, such as the type of fluid being measured, the size and shape of the tank, and the environmental conditions in which the sensor will be used.
