Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides technical specifications and applications for two types of bypass level indicators: VEGAMAG 81 and VEGAPASS 81, used for measuring liquid levels in tanks without auxiliary energy.
VEGAMAG 81:
  • Application: Designed for liquid-holding tanks to measure and indicate levels directly.
  • Specifications: Measuring range up to 4 m, process temperature from -196 °C to +450 °C, and process pressure from 0 to 100 bar.
  • Standards: Complies with ASME B31.3, PED 2014/68/EU, and EAC 032/2013.
  • Benefits: Operates without auxiliary energy, minimal maintenance, and customizable to customer specifications.
  • Measuring Principle: Utilizes a float with a permanent magnet in a bypass chamber to visually indicate tank levels.
  • Advantages: Visible from a distance, maintenance can be performed without process interruption, and a level switch can be retrofitted.
VEGAPASS 81:
  • Application: Bypass chamber for accommodating level, point level, or interface sensors.
  • Specifications: Measuring range up to 4 m, process temperature from -196 °C to +450 °C, and process pressure up to 205 bar depending on the sensor.
  • Standards: Complies with ASME B31.3, PED 2014/68/EU, and EAC 032/2013.
  • Benefits: Complete solution with no moving parts, designed to customer specifications, and maintenance-free.
  • Measuring Principle: An externally mounted standpipe communicates the tank level to the outside, allowing electronic measurement with an added instrument.
  • Advantages: Can be isolated for maintenance without interrupting the main tank process, and the system is pre-assembled and matched to customer requirements.

Magnetic level gauge l Bypass-1

Level l Magnetic level gauge l Bypass Application range VEGAMAG bypass level indicators are ideal for measuring and indicating the level of liquids without auxiliary energy. They can also determine where the interface between two different media is located. Due to the large selection of materials, VEGAMAG instruments can also be used for aggressive liquids. Measuring principle The VEGAMAG visually communicates the contents of the level in the tank. It consists of an external vertical bypass float chamber with lateral process fittings into the tank. The float chamber Application Bypass vessel for liquid-holding tanks, for measuring and indicating levels without auxiliary energy (directly communicating vessel) Measuring range Process fitting tank Flanges from ½"/DN15 Threaded connections from ½" Welding sockets from ½" Process temperature Process pressure Measurement accuracy contains a float with an integrated permanent ▪ Measurement and on-site indication without auxiliary energy ▪ Manufactured according to customer specifications ▪ Minimal maintenance magnet which, as the level moves up and down, causes the individual magnetised flags inside a level indicator scale mounted to the side of the chamber to rotate and change colour. Advantages The level inside a tank can be displayed without auxiliary energy and is visible from a distance. The VEGAMAG level indicator can be completely decoupled from the tank by means of valves built into the process fittings. This allows maintenance to be performed without interrupting the process in the main tank. If required, a level switch can be retro

Magnetic level gauge l Bypass-2

Application range VEGAPASS is a bypass chamber mounted on the outside of a liquid tank, which is designed to hold a level, point level or interface measuring instrument. Due to the large selection of materials, VEGAPASS instruments can also be used for aggressive liquids. Measuring principle VEGAPASS is an externally mounted standpipe with lateral process fittings that effectively communicates the level inside the tank to the outside world. By adding a suitable instrument into the chamber, an electronic measurement of level, point level or interface can be carried out. Bypass chamber for liquid...
