When it comes to level measurement, instrumentation with a brightly colored, reflective flag systems are easy to see from a distance and in dark spaces. Better visibility keeps operators safe and processes running efficiently. Operator and process safety are top …
Level Gauges
Magnetostrictive Float Technology is Superior to Guided-Wave Radar for Level Measurement of Foamy Liquids
Patrick McGrath | LevelAccurate level measurement is critical in industries ranging from pharmaceutical, food, and beverage to petrochemical manufacturing. Continuous manufacturing (24/7) depends on careful monitoring of the level of feed materials and process media in tanks, pipes, and …
WIKA Has a Solution for Tight Spaces When Replacing Glass Gauges
Patrick McGrath | LevelConsistent and reliable, magnetic level indicators are widely used in many sectors, including the petrochemical industry. The operation of these cost-effective instruments is simple and elegant: A float resides within a chamber that, most commonly, is attached to the …
Level Gauges with Inverted Design Enable Compact Skid Construction
Patrick McGrath | LevelModular is the new mantra in the process sector, and single-purpose, built-to-spec process skids are the latest trend in the refining and chemical industries. A “skid” is a portable work station used in a process facility. It is modular in the sense in that …
Managing Thermal Expansion in Liquid Level Measuring
Patrick McGrath | LevelManaging thermal expansion in liquid level measuring is a common issue in refinery and chemical applications that put level gauges outside the vessel or tank. In this configuration, the gauge is exposed to atmospheric conditions that may affect the temperature of the …
