The position of magnetic flap level gauges in the industry

One of the mainstream level measurement instruments: Compared to similar instruments, its advantages are as follows: Compared to glass tube level gauges: No risk of breakage, higher pressure resistance, and greater safety (suitable for hazardous media). Compared to radar/ultrasonic level gauges: Lower cost, no complex tuning required, and unaffected by foam or steam. Compared to float level gauges: More intuitive display, easier maintenance (no mechanical linkage structure). Irreplaceability: In scenarios requiring explosion-proof, power-free,

1. One of the mainstream liquid level measurement instruments

Advantages compared with similar instruments:

Compared with glass tube level meters: no risk of rupture, higher pressure resistance, and greater safety (for hazardous media).

Compared with radar/ultrasonic level meter: lower cost, no need for complex commissioning, and no interference from foam and vapor.

Compared with float level meter: more intuitive display, easier maintenance (no mechanical linkage structure).

Irreplaceable: In the scene of explosion-proof, passive, on-site visualization, magnetic flip-plate level meter is often the optimal solution.

2. Wide range of industry applications

Petrochemical industry: liquid level monitoring of storage tanks, reaction kettles and fractionation towers (accounting for about 30% or more).

Power industry: boiler ladle water level measurement (reliable choice for high temperature and high pressure working conditions).

Pharmaceutical / food: sanitary design to meet GMP requirements for fermentation tanks, liquid storage tanks.

Water treatment/Environmental protection: liquid level indication for sewage tanks, dosing systems (corrosion and dirt resistant).

Marine/Metallurgy: level management for fuel tanks, lubrication oil tanks (adapted to vibration environment).

3. Standardization and Normalization

International Recognition: Comply with API, GB/T, EN and other standards, and included in various industrial design specifications.

Safety certification: ATEX, SIL, CE and other certifications for flammable and explosive areas (such as chemical plants, oil depots).

4. Technology Upgrade and Intelligent Integration

Traditional Advantages Retained: Maintain the intuitiveness of the flip-flop display while integrating the remote transmission signal (4-20mA, HART protocol).

Internet of Things (IoT): the new magnetic flap level meter can be connected to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) to realize cloud monitoring.

5. Economy and popularity

Preferred by small and medium-sized enterprises: the cost is lower than that of high-end radar/radiofrequency conductivity instruments, with outstanding cost performance.

Huge stock market: global industrial field installation continues to grow, especially in developing countries.

Industry Status Summary

Magnetic Level Gauge with the core advantages of "intuitive + reliable + low cost", in the field of liquid level measurement belongs to the mid-range of the main products, between the basic mechanical instrumentation (e.g., glass tube) and high-end intelligent instrumentation (e.g., radar). Its position is shown as follows:

Irreplaceable scenarios: hazardous environments, areas without power supply, occasions requiring local visual confirmation.

Complementary scenarios: as a secondary display to a remote meter, providing double assurance.

Continuing vitality: despite the emergence of new instruments, its simple and reliable design concept has led to a long and stable share in the process industry.
