Kayden Instruments

Why Choose Kayden Instruments?

Kayden Instruments has carved out a strong reputation by focusing on one core technology and engineering it for the toughest service conditions in industry. Thermal dispersion detection doesn’t rely on moving parts, mechanical floats, or pressure differentials — it works by sensing how heat is carried away by the surrounding fluid. The result is detection that holds up in dirty, scaling, corrosive, and high-vibration environments where mechanical alternatives fail.

What Sets Kayden Instruments Apart

• No Moving Parts — Thermal dispersion sensing means nothing to clog, stick, jam, or wear out
• Multi-Function Capability — A single device can be configured for flow, level, or interface detection
• Hazardous Area Certified — FM, CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals for use in Class I Division 1/2 and Zone 0/1/2 environments
• SIL-Rated Options — Functional safety products available for safety instrumented systems (SIS)
• Rugged Construction — Stainless steel housings, weatherproof enclosures, and components engineered for outdoor industrial duty
• Wide Process Temperature Range — Sensors that handle cryogenic to high-temperature applications
• Application Versatility — From dry-run pump protection to wet/dry interface in separators, one technology serves multiple needs

Common Applications

• Flow / No-Flow Detection — Pump protection, flush line monitoring, header detection
• Pump Dry-Run Protection — Prevent damage to centrifugal pumps when fluid supply is lost
• Point Level Monitoring — High/low level alarms in tanks, sumps, and process vessels
• Interface Detection — Oil/water interface in separators and treaters
• Wet/Dry Discrimination — Detect presence or absence of liquid in pipes and vessels
• Leak Detection — Identify abnormal flow conditions in pipelines and process lines
