Understanding Magnetic Level Indicator

The magnetic level indicator is a type of level indicator that determines level of fluids using magnetic components such as cylindrical floats and magnetic capsules.it can read a level indication in whatever plant or operating conditions.

Normally, industrial personnel choose this type of level indicator because it guarantees environmental safety, preventive security against leakage, free maintenance, and trouble-free application even with chemically aggressive, pollutant, harmful, poisonous, inflammable, and explosive fluid interface.


How Magnetic Level Indicator Works

The operation of the magnetic level indicator is based on some elementary physical principles. These include the principle whereby the liquid in communicating vessels is always at the same level, Archimede's principle according to which a body immersed in a liquid receives buoyancy equal to the weight of displaced liquid, and the principle of attraction between North and South poles of two permanent magnets and that of repulsion between like poles. The last principle has two primary applications, namely between the magnet in the chamber float and every single magnet of the indicating scale, and between the magnets of the indicating scale.

The Uses of Magnetic Level Indicator

Magnetic level indicators are used in a wide variety of applications and situations, such as the following.

When fluids are at high pressure, at low or high temperature
When fluids are at low pressure, at low or high temperature
When fluids are chemically aggressive
To determine if fluids are pollutant to environment
To determine if fluids are noxious or poisonous for people health
To determine if fluids are inflammable or explosive
To determine if fluids are with identical optical characteristics of the superimposed phases 

These devices are tested safe and secured, thus there is nothing to worry even if the fluids being measured are corrosive, poisonous, or inflammable.
