Magnetic Level Gauge Indicators

Magnetic Level Indicators, also referred to as level gauges, consist of a chamber, a magnetic float and a flipper type indicator scale mounted to the side of the chamber. Understanding the operation of the Magnetic level gauge indicator is quite simple. The fluid in the tank seeks its own level inside the chamber.

The magnetic float in the chamber rises and falls with the fluid level gauge. As the Magnetic float rises and falls, it changes the orientation of the flippers on the scale providing a visual level indication. In addition, as the magnetic float rises and falls, it actuates any transmitter or alarm switches that are attached to the side of the gauge.

Magnetic level gauge indicators are custom made based on your requirements. The float construction is determined by the process fluid, pressure, temperature and specific gravity of the fluid. Magnetic level gauge indicators are generally made of 316SS, but can be made from a variety of other materials including CPVC, Kynar, Hastelloy, Monel or other exotic metals. A variety of mounting style options and process connections are available to meet your needs.
