Oil & gas tank level measurement
Distance-based level monitoring for tanks and vessels.
Ex-Rated Laser Distance Systems
Laser distance measurement systems for oil and gas environments requiring hazardous-area design awareness.
Overview
What this service covers
Laser distance measurement hardware for oil & gas and other sites where hazardous-area requirements shape the design from the first schematic. We design the circuit and interface with those requirements in mind; formal Ex-certification of the finished, installed unit is handled through your site's certification body, not by us.
Client Problems
Problems this service solves
- Distance or level measurement is needed in an area where standard electronics can't simply be installed without hazardous-area review.
- A manual measurement process needs to become automated logging in a restricted-access area.
- An existing measurement circuit needs review for power and signal isolation before it goes anywhere near a hazardous area.
Capabilities
What we do
- Laser distance measurement circuit design
- Hazardous-area design awareness (component and layout choices made with Ex-area review in mind)
- Sensor integration and signal processing
- Rugged, enclosure-ready hardware design
- Field calibration support
Technologies
Tools & platforms
Laser rangefinder modules, isolated/low-power signal interfaces, and rugged enclosure design practices suited to restricted-access sites.

Development Process
How we approach this work
- 01Site & hazard review
Understand the site's hazard classification, as provided by you.
- 02Circuit & interface design
Design with isolation and power constraints in mind.
- 03Hardware build
Build and bench-test the measurement hardware.
- 04Calibration & handoff
Calibrate and document; final Ex-certification of the installed unit is the client's/certification body's responsibility.
