Magnetic Level Gauges & Level Transmitters

Magnetic Level Gauges provides clear, high clarity indication of liquid level. Magnetic Level Gauges are principally designed as an alternative to
glass level gauges. MLGs are now widely used in all industries as they avoid direct contact with indicator system; it eliminates need of glass for
direct level indication and prevents chemical spillage due to breakage of glass.

Concept and Principle of operation

Magnetic Level Gauges operates on the principle of magnetic field coupling to provide fluid
level information. Float chamber is typically constructed having process connections that
matches to the vessel connections. Float size and weight is determined by the process fluid,
pressure, temperature and the specific gravity of the process fluid. Float contains magnets to
provide 360 magnetic flux field.

Magnetic Level Gauge - Flapper Indicator system is consists of bicolour rollers equipped
with magnets mounted on rail inside the housing. As the level starts rising or falling magnetic
float also travels with liquid level in non magnetic chamber. The magnetic interaction between
magnets in float and bicolour rollers causes each roller to rotate 180.
