Straight connector fitting liquid level gauges provide easy viewing in many industrial applications. They are ideal for bearings, transformers, and many other non-pressure applications. Brass construction and glass tubes provide long life.
Description
Two methods for measuring the tank level are recognized:
– A volume-based tank gauging system, with quantity assessment based on level and temperature measurement
– A mass-based tank gauging system, with quantity assessment based on measurement of the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid column.
The petrochemical industry generally uses static volumetric assessments of the tank content. This involves level, temperature and pressure measurements. There are different ways of measuring the liquid level and other properties of the liquid. Whatever method is used, a high degree of reliability and accuracy is vital when the data is used for inventory control or custody transfer purposes.
A tank gauging system is much more than just the instruments on the tank, however. Tank gauging requires large field bus networks to enable reliable data communication – wired or wireless. Tank gauging systems must also be able to calculate product volumes and mass according to industry standards. The tank gauging system performs many different functions, from operator interface, batch handling and reporting, to alarm functions, connectivity to host systems and much more.
With many different measurement technologies available, however, it is possible to choose automatic tank gauge with different measurement technologies for BPCS and SIS that, nevertheless, have similar measurement performances, offer self-diagnostic features, and are certified by reputed third-party safety assessors.
One practical, proven solution is to use a radar type continuous electronic sensor automatic tank gauge for the BPCS with a servo type continuous electronic sensor, for the SIS, or vice-versa. Such a solution meets the main objectives of process control and enhanced safety:
Tank gauging system high quality liquid level mechanical gauging systems for Above & Below Ground Storage Tanks and Vessels.
Our level gauge are currently used and supplied to Oil & Gas, Chemical, Mining and Water & Wastewater companies Worldwide. Tank gauging system provides standard & custom design mechanical level gauging solutions with control options.
Our mechanical level gauges can be completely upgraded with electronic and pneumatic outputs to provide liquid level control for alarms and/or pump control.
Monitor hydraulic fluid or oil level gauge in gear boxes, crank cases, and other reservoirs. These indicators mount from the outside of your tank. The gauge shield rotates 360° for optimal viewing from any direction. They are for use in nonpressure applications. All have a vent to prevent pressure from building up and causing an inaccurate level gauge to display.
Level gauge with 40-micron filter keep out particles as small as table salt.
Level gauge with swivel fitting have a two-piece construction so they can be quickly disconnected.
Level gauge with drain allow you to sample hydraulic fluid from the reservoir.

Reflex type level gauges sturdily consist of a body with glass and cover tightened by U-bolts. They have a prism glass window that uses the basic optical principles of light refraction and reflection to enhance the indication of the liquid level.
In brief when the light strikes the area of glass covered by the liquid is allowed to pass to the interior of the level gauge, so that the area appears dark (black). While the light strikes the open space, above the liquid level is reflected back to the observer so that the area appears silver-white. It is possible to see the actual liquid level in the systems, even transparent liquids can be clearly observed. They are made from carbon steel, stainless steel, and carbon steel with rubber lined or lead lined depends upon the services.
They are suitable for various ranges of pressure lines; from low to high pressures, and made of carbon steel or stainless steel. In addition, they are lightweight structures and available for long visible lengths. What is more, Reflex types are available at low price. Reflex type level gauges are equipped with a ball check valve (emergency shut-off valve).
Fuel is a resource, and protecting that resource ensures you’re able to maximize it along with your day-to-day operations. Tank gauge system is also important for staying in compliance with certain environmental regulations.
Increase operational efficiency with rapid response
Tank gauge systems can manage all aspects of fuel, from its procurement, to usage, its condition and even its eventual sale.
Essentially, tank gauge systems allow owners and operators to increase their operational efficiency by real time tracking of key metrics involved in important decisions. And with remote sensors, owners and operators can even monitor and make adjustments remotely.
If an issue is detected, you are immediately alerted so adjustments or repairs can begin sooner and based on what is happening now, not data from days or weeks ago. This not only protects your investment and minimizes lost fuel and downtime.
Environmental compliance
Fuel tanks require routine maintenance. As they age, factors such as rust or algae growth not only impact the quality of the fuel, but can also have environmental impacts. In the event a fuel tank is damaged, there is the potential for fuel to escape, possibly contaminating soil and or groundwater in the area.
One of the big advantages of a tank gauge system is the speed at which issues are detected allowing for faster repairs and minimizing the environmental impact.
Level gauges are devices used to measure the levels of fluids inside a container or chamber as well as the interface between solids and liquids. They can also be referred to as level sensors.
There are three main types of level gauges, which you can learn more about by reading our blog on the subject. It is important to know the differences between these products as each type is better-suited for specific applications over others. Using the wrong type of level of gauge for your applications may result in inaccurate or inconsistent readings.
Many different industries all require the use of accurate and reliable level gauges for everyday processes.
There are many different types of level gauge, each with its own application.
Transparent level gauge are highly useful in chemical industries and petrochemical fertilizers. As the fluid is stored in high pressure and high temperature, the transparent level indicator is very useful to find the fluid level.
Reflex level gauge 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.
Magnetic level gauge are red followers that need magnetic level gauge. Cylindrical floats and powerful magnets are used to find the level of the fluid. The float movement is followed by magnetic capsules, and thus, the level in indicated. This type of indicator has good visibility and is absolutely safe to use as it contains non-fragile metal chamber.
Some other level gauge for reference are tubular level gauge, float and board level gauge, sight flow indicators, window type sight flow indicators, manometers, and bi-color indicators. Some of the level gauge are provided with various features, such as a built-in controller, continuous output measurement, and adjustable alarm switches.
The process level gauge is a proven method to measure liquid levels. The level gauge is one of the safest and most economical ways to measure and control your level requirements.
It can be installed on almost any shape, size or type of vessel in the industry. In applications of extreme pressure, temperature, vibration and highly corrosive or hazardous material the level gauge will perform where others fail.
