Side Mounted Magnetic Level Indicator

PITAMBARA ENGINEERING: Side Mounted Magnetic Level IndicatorIntroduction

The Side Mounted Magnetic Level Indicator from PITAMBARA ENGINEERING is a highly reliable and efficient device designed to provide accurate, continuous level measurement of liquids in tanks, vessels, or reactors. Unlike traditional mechanical level indicators, the magnetic level indicator uses a non-contact, magnetic float-based technology to offer precise liquid level readings with a high degree of safety and durability.

Key Features:

  • Magnetic Float Technology: The core of the magnetic level indicator is a float that moves along with the liquid level inside the tank. This float contains magnets that interact with a series of magnetic sensors or visual indicators on the external side of the tank to provide an accurate and clear reading.
  • Side-Mounted Design: The indicator is mounted on the side of the tank, making it easy to install and maintain without having to disrupt the tank’s internal structure. This design is particularly beneficial for large and high-pressure tanks.
  • Visual Indication: Magnetic level indicators are often equipped with a colored scale or flag mechanism that shows the liquid level outside the tank. The level is typically displayed in the form of a float indicator that moves in response to changes in the tank’s liquid level, providing a visual readout.
  • Non-Invasive Measurement: The magnetic float is completely isolated from the external environment, making it a perfect solution for hazardous liquids or gases, as it avoids contact with the liquid being measured.
  • High Accuracy and Sensitivity: Magnetic level indicators are known for their high accuracy and responsiveness, offering precise and real-time measurements even in turbulent or sloshing liquids.
  • Wide Compatibility: These level indicators are suitable for a variety of applications, including use with a broad range of chemicals, oils, water, and other industrial liquids.
  • Corrosion and Pressure Resistance: PITAMBARA’s magnetic level indicators are designed to withstand harsh industrial environments, featuring corrosion-resistant materials and the ability to handle high pressures and temperatures.

Applications:

  • Chemical and Petrochemical Industries: Magnetic level indicators are ideal for applications where accuracy and safety are critical, such as monitoring chemicals, oils, and solvents in storage tanks, reactors, and pipelines.
  • Water Treatment Plants: Used to monitor the levels of water, sludge, or chemicals in treatment tanks, filtration vessels, or holding tanks.
  • Power Plants: To measure water levels in boilers, cooling towers, and other high-pressure systems.
  • Oil & Gas: For level monitoring in storage tanks, separators, and separators in oil and gas processing units.
  • Pharmaceutical and Food Processing: To monitor various liquids and chemicals in pharmaceutical reactors and food production tanks.

Advantages:

  • Safety: The side-mounted magnetic level indicator minimizes the risk of leakage or exposure to hazardous materials, offering an excellent safety profile. The non-contact mechanism keeps personnel away from dangerous liquids.
  • No Power Requirement: Unlike electronic sensors, these indicators do not require power to operate, making them a more energy-efficient and maintenance-free option for long-term use.
  • Continuous and Real-Time Monitoring: The design allows for real-time monitoring of the liquid level, which is critical for processes requiring continuous feedback.
  • Robust and Reliable: Magnetic level indicators can handle extreme temperatures, high pressures, and harsh environmental conditions, offering reliability in demanding industrial settings.
  • Low Maintenance: Since the device operates without electrical components, it requires minimal maintenance, and the side-mounted design makes it easy to inspect and service.

Conclusion:

The PITAMBARA ENGINEERING’s Side Mounted Magnetic Level Indicator offers a durable, accurate, and safe solution for liquid level measurement in a wide range of industrial applications. Its non-contact, float-based technology ensures long-term reliability with minimal maintenance, while its side-mounted design makes it easy to install and monitor. Whether you are working in chemical, pharmaceutical, water treatment, or any other heavy-duty industrial environment, this device provides precise and continuous level monitoring, making it an essential tool for efficient and safe operations.

  • Precautions for installation
  • Applications
  • Features
  • During installation, tank shuld be completely empty.
  • There should be no objects which shall hinder the float.
  • Ensure that the float position inside the tank should be such that agitation on it will be minimum.
  • The position of mounting nozzle should be far away from the liquid fill pipe to protect the float from damage and faulty readings due to turbulence.
  • Ensure that tank structures / fittings do not come in the way of calibrated gauges boards
  • Instruments required- Welding machine, combination/crimping plier, spanner and adjustable.
  • Even with large changes in liquid density, the immersion of a large diameter float will change very little, thus density has little effect on accuracy.
  • Float systems are simple and easily understood.
  • Even if the primary requirement is the transmitted signal, local indicators can continue to operate, even on loss of power.
  • Simple
  • Low Maintenance
  • Economical Measurement Solution
  • Easy Mounting
  • Assured Level Indication without power supply
