Fluid Level & Condition Monitoring

Fluid Level & Condition Monitoring for Hydraulic Systems

Monitor hydraulic oil levels, temperature and fluid condition with Flowfit’s range of fluid level and condition monitoring equipment. Featuring products manufactured by Filtrec, our range helps operators monitor important hydraulic fluid parameters, identify potential issues and maintain reliable system performance.

Effective hydraulic fluid monitoring can help prevent problems associated with incorrect oil levels, contamination and deteriorating fluid condition. From straightforward visual level indication to electrical level monitoring and specialist fluid monitoring equipment, Flowfit provides solutions for industrial, agricultural and mobile hydraulic systems.

Our range includes Level Indicators, Electromagnetic Level Indicators and Fluid Monitoring equipment, helping you select the appropriate monitoring solution for your hydraulic tank, reservoir or system.

Hydraulic Level Indicators, Electromagnetic Indicators & Fluid Monitoring

Our fluid level and condition monitoring range is divided into three key areas:

Level Indicators
Hydraulic level indicators provide a simple and effective way to visually check the amount of hydraulic oil within a tank or reservoir. Selected models can also provide fluid temperature indication, allowing operators to monitor two important system conditions from a single reservoir-mounted unit.

Electromagnetic Level Indicators
Electromagnetic hydraulic level indicators provide electrical monitoring of fluid level, making them suitable for applications where an electrical signal or warning is required when the hydraulic oil reaches a specified condition. They can provide an additional level of monitoring compared with visual-only indicators and are useful in automated or remotely monitored hydraulic systems.

Fluid Monitoring
Hydraulic fluid monitoring equipment helps assess the condition and cleanliness of hydraulic oil. Monitoring fluid condition can support preventative maintenance programmes by helping operators identify contamination or changes in oil condition before they contribute to component wear or system problems.

Why Hydraulic Fluid Monitoring Is Important

Hydraulic oil performs several critical functions within a hydraulic system, including transmitting power, lubricating components and helping manage heat. Maintaining the correct fluid level and monitoring oil condition are therefore important parts of reliable hydraulic system maintenance.

A low hydraulic oil level can affect system operation and increase the risk of air entering the circuit, while contaminated or degraded fluid can accelerate wear to pumps, valves, cylinders and motors.

Using the appropriate hydraulic oil level indicator or fluid monitoring equipment gives operators greater visibility of system condition and can help identify maintenance requirements before they develop into more serious problems.

Common Applications for Fluid Level & Condition Monitoring

Hydraulic level and fluid monitoring products are commonly used with:

• Hydraulic power packs and power units
• Hydraulic tanks and reservoirs
• Industrial hydraulic systems
• Agricultural machinery
• Construction and plant equipment
• Mobile hydraulic machinery
• Material handling equipment
• Manufacturing machinery
• Hydraulic presses
• Machine tools
• Automated production equipment
• Heavy plant and machinery
• Lubrication and fluid power systems

These products are suitable for both routine visual inspection and applications where enhanced electrical or fluid condition monitoring is required.

Choosing the Right Hydraulic Level or Fluid Monitoring Solution

The correct monitoring equipment will depend on what you need to measure and how the information needs to be presented.

For straightforward reservoir monitoring, a hydraulic oil level indicator provides quick visual confirmation of the fluid level, with temperature indication available on selected products.

Where an electrical output or warning is required, an electromagnetic level indicator may provide a more suitable solution for integration into the machine or hydraulic control system.

For applications where the cleanliness or condition of the hydraulic oil itself needs to be assessed, dedicated hydraulic fluid monitoring equipment can provide additional information to support planned maintenance and contamination control.

When selecting a product, consider factors such as reservoir size, mounting dimensions, connection type, monitoring requirements, fluid compatibility and operating conditions.

Flowfit also supplies hydraulic filters, filter elements, tank and reservoir accessories and other filtration products to help maintain clean and reliable hydraulic systems.
