Product catalog summary
Overview
WEKA provides high-quality level measurement instruments primarily used in the shipbuilding industry and mechanical engineering. These instruments are designed to meet the diverse needs of operating liquids aboard ships and in various industrial applications.

General Requirements
In shipbuilding, there is significant price pressure, and WEKA offers cost-effective solutions. For FPSO ships, WEKA provides specialized high-pressure and high-temperature applications. In mechanical engineering, WEKA's experience allows them to offer durable and professional products for a wide range of applications.

Typical Applications
  • Pulp and paper industry
  • Steel rolling mills and foundries
  • Textile industry dyeworks
  • Packaging industry
  • HVAC systems
  • Incinerating and refrigeration plants
  • Automotive industry
  • Boiler engineering and tank farms

Tank Level Instruments (TLI)
WEKA TLIs complement Visual Level Indicators (VLIs) and are ideal where bypass installations are not feasible. They use float technology for accurate liquid level sensing and can be configured with various accessories to meet specific requirements.

Advantages of Float Technology
  • Floats provide direct measurement by following the liquid surface.
  • They can monitor liquid interface levels in tanks of any shape or size.
  • Floats and reed switches offer accuracy and repeatability, unaffected by pressure or temperature changes.

Technical Data
WEKA offers various models with different specifications, including resolution, tube size, and material. These sensors are designed for rugged environments and are shock-resistant.

Operating Principle
TLIs use a voltage divider with magnetic reed switches to provide a proportional voltage signal to the liquid level. This design ensures minimal maintenance and high accuracy.

Conformance and Customization
WEKA sensors conform to European Directives for pressure and explosion protection. They offer customization for specific applications, including integrated temperature sensors and special materials.

Contact Information
For more information, customers can contact WEKA AG in Switzerland or visit their website.

Technical Data Type XM-/XT-800E Type XM-/XT-825E Type XT-800R • WEKA TLI: Tank Level Instruments WEKA TLIs optimally complement the range of WEKA VLIs (Visual Level Indicators). Wherever physical conditions prevent a bypass type level measuring installation, a WEKA TLI product would be the preferred alternative. The TLI sensor is installed directly on the tank, and provides a reliable level measurement signal output that can be fed to a remote indicator or control system. A wide choice of standard accessories and fittings allow TLI sensors to be configured to meet virtually any tank level measurement...

Tank Level Instruments TLI-4

• Operating Principle 4 The level sensors are vertically mounted in the tank and cable connected to a remote receiver. A voltage divider extends over the full distance within the sealed transmitter stem, with magnetic reed switches tapped in at regular intervals. As the float moves with liquid level changes, it magnetically closes a series of reed switches in sequence, thus varying the tapped-off portion of the voltage divider. WEKA TLI sensors are completely electronic; the float is the only moving part. The float is designed in a way so that its movement results in a self cleaning action. Therefore...
