High visibility magnetic level measurement in a robust and reliable design
2019-06-21
The magnetic float level gauge operates using a float, with an internally sealed magnet, that rises and falls inside the tubular chamber connected at the top and bottom to the storage tank.
Floats are specifically calibrated to match the conditions of the vessel. The density, operating pressure and temperature are taken into account, ensuring that the measured level is accurate and repeatable.
On the outside of the magnetic float level switch is a vertical indicator rail housing a series of indicator flappers. Each of the coloured flappers contains a small magnet which rotates through 180’, changing its coloured face from white to red, when passed by the magnet within the float.
The indication rail is interlocked by the individual magnets in each of the flaps, which ensures a stable indication under the most severe operating conditions such as vibration, fast changes in liquid level (surging) and de-gassing / boiling of the product.
Optional side-of-chamber modules are available on our magnetic level gauges to provide a switch point or continuous (mA) output.
