Product catalog summary
Description: The document details Magnetrol side mounting liquid float level switches designed for horizontal installation on tanks or vessels. These switches are used for high or low-level alarms or control applications, with tandem models available for dual-level stage applications.
Features: Available in carbon or stainless steel, these switches offer flanged and threaded connections, operating at temperatures up to 400°C (750°F) and pressures up to 82.7 bar (1200 psi). They handle specific gravities as low as 0.40 and have field-adjustable level differentials from 32 mm to 409 mm. Optional features include NACE construction, interface calibration, special actuating levels, and explosion-proof enclosures.
Applications: Suitable for use with foaming or surging liquids, varnishes, sewage, heavy oils, paints, and liquids containing solids.
Agency Approvals: The switches have approvals from ATEX, CENELEC, FM, CSA, and others, ensuring compliance with safety and performance standards for hazardous and non-hazardous areas.
Principle of Operation: A permanent magnet attached to a pivoted switch moves with the liquid level, causing the switch to tilt and actuate.
Available Switch Mechanisms: Includes micro switches, hermetically sealed switches, and pneumatic switches, each with specific temperature and pressure ratings.
Selection Data: Provides detailed selection data for different models, including level differentials, float stem lengths, and process connections, along with an Expedite Ship Plan for quick shipment.
Physical Specifications: Models measure liquid or interface levels, handling different specific gravities, temperatures, and pressures. Materials include 316 SST for T62/T67 models and 304 SST for T64 models.
Electrical Specifications: Various electrical ratings and configurations, including SPDT and DPDT contacts, approved for hazardous areas with multiple cable entry options.
Specifications: Outlines switch types including DPDT and SPDT models, with specific codes. Materials for cage and process connections are carbon steel or stainless steel, with compliance to CENELEC standards (IP 66).
Quality Assurance: Magnetrol's quality assurance system is ISO 9001 certified, ensuring high-quality design, construction, and service.
Product Warranty: A five-year warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, including repair or replacement at no cost, excluding transportation.
Dimensions and Models: Detailed dimensions for various models, including T62/T67 threaded and flanged models, with notes on weatherproof and ATEX compliance.
Contact Information: Contact details for Magnetrol representatives in various countries are provided.
Additional Notes: Includes a bulletin number and effective date, with a website link for further information.

Models T5x & T6x-1

Liquid Float Level Switches DESCRIPTION Magnetrol side mounting controls mount horizontally to any tank or vessel through a threaded or flanged pipe connection. Standard models are normally equipped with a single switch mechanism for high or low level alarm or control applications. Tandem models with two switch mechanisms are available for two level stage applications, providing the operating functions of two separate instruments such as high and low level alarm. FEATURES • Carbon or stainless steel body materials (other materials available at request) • Flanged and threaded process connections • Process temperature up to 400 °C (750 °F) • Up to 2 switch levels (T67) • Specific gravity as low as 0,40 • Process pressure up to 82,7 bar (1200 psi) • Field adjustable level differentials from 32 mm (1.25") up to 409 mm (16.12") • Standard anti corrosive protection Optional: - NACE construction (MR-01-75) - Interface calibration - Special actuating levels - Code compliance construction - Special tank connections - Extreme temperature modifications - Class 1, Group B explosion proof electrical enclosure - Special exterior surface preparation and finish APPLICATIONS • Foaming or surging liquids • Sewage handling • Paints Up to 409 mm (16.12") switch differential AGENCY APPROVALS Varnishes Heavy oils Liquids with solids © For CCE approved units, use the ATEX explosion proof model numbers. © Consult factory for proper model numbers.

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 falls 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 rises, the float draws the magnet attractor below the magnetic field. The magnet swings out and tilts the...
