Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about the Magnicator® II, a magnetic liquid level indication product by Jerguson, a part of The Clark-Reliance Corporation. It highlights the product's superior magnetic field strength, robust construction, and various features that enhance reliability and performance in industrial applications.
Specifications: The Magnicator II features a patented float design with two 360º annular Alnico 8 ring magnets, creating a strong and focused magnetic field. This design ensures reliable activation of flags, switches, and transmitters. The product complies with ASME B31.1 and B31.3 standards, with standard Schedule 40 chamber construction, and options for Sch 80 and Sch 160 for higher pressures.
Procedures: The Magnicator II operates by connecting to a process vessel, with a sealed float that rises and falls with liquid levels. The indicator flags rotate in response to the float's magnetic field, providing a clear visual indication of liquid levels.
Norms and Standards: The product adheres to ASME standards for power and process piping. It also features robust construction with full penetration autogenous welds for durability and reliability.
Recommendations: Jerguson recommends using flag indicators for most applications due to their reliability and resistance to shock and vibration. The NightStar LED illuminators are suggested for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions.
Additional Features: The document describes the integration of guided wave radar (GWR) for independent liquid level measurement, unaffected by changes in product density. It also details various switches and transmitters, including magnetostrictive and reed switch options, for enhanced functionality.
Options and Accessories: The document lists several options, including hermetically-sealed flag indicators, LevelStar LED indicators, and insulation options for extreme temperatures. It also mentions the availability of combination sight glass/magnetic gages and high-pressure column options.
Conclusion: The Magnicator II is presented as a reliable and robust solution for magnetic liquid level indication, with advanced features and compliance with industry standards, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications.

Magnetic Liquid Level Indication Products Magnetic Field Density Diagramof Magnicator II Float Reliability is in the physics.A uniquely strong north magnetic field activates flags,switches and transmitters with a certainty not found elsewhere because only the Magnicator II has a magnet arrangement this powerful,and this focused. The Jerguson Magnicator II float has the strongest magnetic field of any magnetic level indicator. Its patented design (U.S.Patent 5,743,137) uses two 360κ annular Alnico 8 ring magnets with opposing north poles. If you are looking for reliable performance from a magnetic...

Magnetic Flux Density Plot of Magnicator II Float Opposing magnetic poles project concentrated flux lines away from the outside diameter of the magnets.This forced deflection creates a stronger field than any other float magnet arrangement,greater than 90 Gauss at the centerline of the indicator flags.Physics has guaranteedthat the Magnicator float has the strongest magneticfield...which translates to the most reliable instrument. > Typical floats from other manufacturers employ a circular array of Alnico 5 Bar Magnets.Other brands use a single ring magnet.Neither can produce as intense a magnetic...
