How does a Magnetic type Level Gauge Work?
A magnetic type level gauge works based on the principles of buoyancy and magnetism to measure liquid levels in tanks or vessels.
This type of gauge is commonly used in applications where accurate, reliable, and low-maintenance liquid level measurement is required.
Overview
Float with Magnet
A magnetic level gauge has a float inside a chamber that moves up and down with the liquid level.
The float contains a magnet or a magnetic assembly, which interacts with external indicators as it moves with the fluid level.
Indicator Assembly
Outside the chamber, along its length, is an indicator assembly that typically consists of a series of flaps, flags, or tubes containing magnetic indicators.
Each indicator flips or rotates when the magnetic float inside the chamber passes it, changing color (e.g., from white to red) to show the fluid level.
Working Mechanism
As the liquid level rises or falls, the float inside the chamber follows the liquid's movement.
The magnet in the float influences the external indicators, causing them to flip or rotate, which visually represents the liquid level in the tank.
This mechanism allows for a clear and continuous visual indication of the fluid level, with no direct electronic or mechanical connection needed.
