Questions About Magnetic Level Gauges

Hoe werkt een magneet peiltoestel?
A Magnetic Level Gauge as a communicating vessel with the tank or system to which it is mounted. Inside the chamber of a Magnetic Level Gauge a float. This float floats on the liquid, with most of it submerged and part of it above the liquid. At the liquid level, there is a Magnetic inside the float. This Magnetic the wafers the display unit. As the float passes by, the wafers and change color from white to red, indicating the level.
Can Magnetic Level Gauges be manufacturedLevel Gauges my specifications?
Yes, Magnetic Level Gauges manufactured to customer specifications.
What materials can a Magnetic Level Gauge made of?
A Magnetic Level Gauge be made of any material that is not magnetic (such as steel) and that is suitable for the application. By default, Magnetic Level Gauges areLevel Gauges of 316 stainless steel or 1.4404 stainless steel. The float is made of 316Ti stainless steel, titanium, or plastic.
WhyLevel Gauge a Magnetic Level Gauge be made of steel?
Steel grades with a ferritic or martensitic structure can be magnetic and do not transmit the float's magnetic field to the wafers the display unit.
What is the diameter of the chamber in a Magnetic Level Gauge?
The standard outer diameter of the chamber of a Magnetic Level Gauge 2" or 60.3 mm.
Are Magnetic Level Gauges in accordance with PED?
Yes, Magnetic Level Gauges designed in accordance with the PED. Depending on the pressure and volume, they are marked with the PED logo.
Can Magnetic Level Gauges be ATEX-certified?
Yes, Magnetic Level Gauges be ATEX-certified.
I'd likeLevel Gauge custom version of my Magnetic Level Gauge . Is that possible?
Yes, any configuration is possible as longLevel Gauge the Magnetic Level Gauge continues to function as a communicating vessel.
What material is the display unit made of?
The display unit is made of aluminum. The window of the display unit is made of polycarbonate or glass. Other available materials include stainless steel and plastic.
Do you carry Magnetic Level Gauges stock?
No, Magnetic Level Gauge manufactured to customer specifications.
The Magnetic Level Gauge a different level than the other level measurements. How is this possible?
Inside the chamber of a Magnetic Level Gauge a float that floats on the liquid. This float is designed for the specific application. If the specific gravity of the liquid changes, the reading will deviate.
How accurate is a Magnetic Level Gauge?
A Magnetic Level Gauge a level indication. Changes in the specific gravity of the liquid, the pressure, and the temperature affect the reading. When taking a visual reading, allow for an accuracy margin equivalent to the height of 2 wafers approx. 2.5 cm).
What is the service life of a Magnetic Level Gauge?
Magnetic Level Gauges durable and have an expected service life of more than 15 years.
Does a Magnetic Level Gauge require (periodic) maintenance?
This depends on the application. For example, in some applications, material may solidify or build up on the inside of the chamber or the float. In these cases, (periodic) maintenance is required.
How much does a Magnetic Level Gauge cost?
The purchase cost of a Magnetic Level Gauge vary widely, ranging from a few hundred euros to a few thousand euros, depending on the model and process conditions.
What are the advantages of Hadro Magnetic Level Gauges?
Hadro Magnetic Level Gauges the following advantages, among others: they are manufactured to customer specifications, are competitively priced, are easy to read, and require very little to no maintenance.

Questions about level switches

Can I install level switches on a Magnetic Level Gauge?
Yes, Magnetic Level Gauges be equipped with magnetic switches.

Questions about transmitters

Can I install a 4-20 mA transmitter on a Magnetic Level Gauge?
Yes, Magnetic Level Gauges be equipped with level transmitters.

Questions about floats

How can I tell if the float is leaking?
Magnetic Level Gauges be equipped with a float damage indicator at the bottom of the display unit. If this indicator turns blue, the float is leaking or the chamber is empty.
The float on my Magnetic Level Gauge leaking. Can I order a new one?
Yes, that's possible. Always specify the process conditions, such as pressure, medium, specific gravity of the medium, and temperature. AlsoLevel Gauge the inner diameter of the Magnetic Level Gauge chamber.
Do you keep rafts in stock?
Yes, we keep some floats in stock. However, floats are manufactured according to customer specifications.

General Questions

What information do I need to provide to get a quote?
To prepare a quote, we always need at least the following information: medium, specific gravity of the liquid during operation, pressure, temperature, connections, center-to-center distance between the connections, design standard (DIN or ASME), and ATEX environment.
