Working principle of Reflex Level Gauge

Reflex level indicators are for applications that involve high temperature, high pressure and use of corrosive fluids. The colorless fluid used in this apparatus gives better clarity to level indication.

Reflex glass level gauges working principle is based on the light refraction and reflection laws.

Reflex glass level gauges use glasses having the face fitted towards the chamber shaped to have prismatic grooves with section angle of 90°.

When in operation, the chamber is filled with liquid in the lower zone and gases or vapors in the upper zone; the liquid level is distinguished by different brightness of the glass in the liquid and in the gas/vapor zone.

The reflex level gauges do not need a specific illumination: the day environmental light is enough. Only during the night an artificial light must be provided.
