... more universal systems ... can be used to measure the levels of both liquids and powder solids. These include diaphragm and capacitive systems. Diaphragm instruments work on the principle that a diaphragm is deformed in proportion to the load applied to it. Deformation of the diaphragm can be measured electrically by transmitting it to the slider of a potentiometer, the core of a differential transformer or to strain gauges.
