indirect level measurement method depends on the material having a physical property which can be measured and related to level and producing proportional out put signals for remote transmission.
Buoyancy principal.
the force produced by a submerged body which is equal to the weight of the liquid it displaces.
Hydro static head
the force of weight produced by the height of the liquid.
Radiation
the material measured absorbs radiation energy.
Weights
the force due to weight can be related very close to level.
Archimedes principle.
displacement level device.
