Transparent level gauges are always fitted with two plate transparent glasses between which the fluid is contained. The fluid level is indicated as the result of the different transparency of the two media and in some cases (for water steam), by conveying upwards on to the surface of separation (between liquid and gaseous substances) a source of light located at the back of the gauge, the rays of which are totally reflected down to the observer. To avoid leakage in case of glass breakage, safety ball-check device can be provided in cross fittings or shut-off valves. This kind of indicator is suitable for water/steam. To protect glass surfaces from corrosive action of the process fluid, Transparent Level Gauges can be fitted with Mica shields or Polytrifluorochloroethilene shields. This kind of indicator is suitable for liquids colorless and very fluid.
Features:
1. They do not need electrical power to operate. This can be a great advantage in the case of a power outage.
2. Simple to install – no calibration is necessary.
3. Can be used as a reference to check, or calibrate, other level technologies.
4. Pressure rating from vacuum to 4Mpa.
5. Temperature rating from -20℃ to 450℃
6. Not affected by the chemical or electrical properties of the process liquid.
7. Specific gravity, dielectric, conductivity, surface turbulence, vapor, foam, etc. no longer needs to be considered
