Buoyancy Level Controls Vertical Float he application of buoyancy principles to the challenges of liquid level measurement and control is one of the oldest and most reliable solutions available in the process control industry. The key to the success of buoyancy instruments is the means by which the motion of the liquid and, therefore, the float or displacer is converted into the desired level control action. Magnetrol® incorporates the optimal features into its level switches while providing repeatable, dependable performance. The result of completely isolating the process environment from the...

Horizontal Float A horizontal float switch, often called a side mounted Displacer Switches While taking advantage of the same buoyancy and unit, operates much like a vertical float. It utilizes the same components, float, stem, sleeve, enclosing tube, magnetic coupling principles as float switches, displacer level switches utilize a precision range spring to con- slightly different manner. The lower float stem pivots vert the change in buoyancy force to movement of an attraction sleeve. Because the displacer is weighted, on a fulcrum. This means that as the float rises, the it hangs into the...

Buoyancy Level Controls Displacer Transmitters As with displacer switches, the change in buoyancy spring compresses or elongates, the core moves within force on a range spring is converted to motion in a dis- the LVDT windings, inducing currents in the secondary placer transmitter. This motion is used to produce an windings. This information is processed and output as a output proportional to the change in liquid level. The 4–20 mA proportional signal. In addition, the E3 super- pneumatic Modulevel® has a sleeve that attracts a follower imposes a HART® compatible signal on the 4–20 mA magnet,...
