Magnetic level gauges consist of a float column with process connections matching those of the storage tank, reactor or other vessel where level is to be measured. Process connections may be side couplings, flanges or top and bottom flanges.
The magnetic float rises and falls within the chamber as the process level changes.Floats are custom manufactured and tested to meet process conditions requirements.Contained in the float is a 360 degree magnet assembly comprised of a series of vertical magnets.A wide range of float materials are available to meet virtually any temperature, pressure and material compatibility requirement. The removable magnetic indicator is attached to the float chamber by means of worm gear clamps.Indicator options include flipper or follower types based on user preference.The follower type ( lightweight magnetic cylinder) indicator is enclosed in a hermetically sealed polycarbonate or glass tube.The follower is magnetically coupled with the magnetic float contained in the chamber and moves up and down with the fluid level.The flipper type indicator ( series of rotating flags) operates similarly, although visibility is heightened because all flags are rotated up to the fluid level point
