TC Klinger magnetic level gauges
May 2013
Level Measurement & Control
The well proven TC Klinger magnetic level gauge is particularly suitable for duties where dangerous and toxic liquids or gases are involved.
Magnetic level gauges, depend not only on the integrity of the chamber but also on the float design and the ability to satisfy all design parameters, ie, specific gravity, pressure and temperature, without compromising the magnetic linkage to the display and associated controls.
This unique system uses a patented ferrite moulded wafer system, which combined with a sealed guide-free float carrying a powerful omni-directional magnet system, provides ultimate performance and reliability, even under the most severe conditions. The gauge is designed so that the liquid being measured is enclosed within a sealed chamber. A stainless steel, titanium or plastic float fitted with a permanent omni directional magnet moves freely inside the chamber and actuates the magnetic wafers within the indicator. As the float rises or falls with the liquid level each wafer rotates 180° and so presents a contrasting colour. Those wafers above the float show white, whilst those level and below show red, the indicator thus presents a clearly defined and accurate level of the liquid in the chamber.
To complement the range, the gauge can be supplied with alarm switches or transmitter and controller to display the liquid level remotely.
