Flanged Top External Caged Liquid Level Switches

Product catalog summary
Description: External cage type liquid float level switches are designed for side mounting on tanks or vessels and can be customized to meet specific customer needs.
Features:
  • Constructed with carbon or stainless steel welded float cages, with other materials available upon request.
  • Handles process temperatures up to 400°C (750°F).
  • Supports up to three switch levels with anti-corrosive protection.
  • Flanged cages allow easy maintenance and can handle specific gravities as low as 0.34 and pressures up to 62 bar (900 psi).
  • Sealed cages are suitable for specific gravities as low as 0.35 and pressures up to 138 bar (2000 psi).
  • Optional features include NACE construction, interface calibration, customized dimensions, special actuating levels, and explosion-proof enclosures.
Applications: Suitable for use with foaming or surging liquids, paints, varnishes, sewage, heavy oils, dirty liquids, and liquids with solids.
Agency Approvals: Includes ATEX, CENELEC, FM, CSA, SAA, LRS, and GOST approvals, ensuring compliance with international safety standards.
Principle of Operation: Operates using a permanent magnet attached to a pivoted switch. The float moves the magnet attractor into or out of the magnetic field, causing the switch to actuate.
Mounting Options: Available in sealed and flanged cage designs, with various connection types and materials.
Available Switch Mechanisms: Includes micro switches, hermetically sealed micro switches, pneumatic switches, and mercury switches, each with specific temperature and electrical ratings.
Expedite Ship Plan (ESP): Certain models are available for quick shipment within three weeks.
Selection Data: Provides detailed specifications for various models, including process temperature, specific gravity, and pressure limits.
Specifications: Outlines specifications for various switch mechanisms and enclosures, including SPDT and DPDT types, with details on physical and electrical specifications.
Procedures: Includes selection procedures for electric and pneumatic switch mechanisms, with specific instructions for models B73 and B41.
Standards and Approvals: Lists several standards and approvals, ensuring products meet safety and performance criteria for hazardous and safe areas.
Recommendations: Provides advice for selecting switch types and configurations based on application needs.
Dimensional Specifications: Provides detailed dimensional specifications for sealed and flanged cage models.
Quality Assurance: Emphasizes commitment to quality assurance, certified to ISO 9001 standards.
Warranty: Offers a five-year warranty for mechanical level controls, covering defects in materials and workmanship.
Contact Information: Provides contact details for Magnetrol's offices in various countries for customer support and inquiries.

Flanged Top External Caged Liquid Level Switches-2

P R I N C I P L E O F O P E R AT I O N A permanent magnet A is attached to a pivoted switch B . As the float C rises following the liquid level, it raises the magnet attractor D into the field of the magnet, which in turn snaps against the non-magnetic barrier tube E , tilting the switch. The barrier tube provides a static seal between the switch mechanism and the float, eliminating the need for a flexing bellows seal, packing gland or other failure prone sealing elements. When the liquid level falls, the float draws the magnet attractor below the magnetic field. The magnet swings out and tilts the...
