Services
Reflex Level Gauges
Reflex level gauges utilise refractive index differences to indicate liquid levels. The prismatic glass design ensures clear visibility of liquid presence, appearing black when submerged and silvery when dry. Ideal for measuring clean fluids in vessels, these gauges are widely used in offshore and industrial applications where reliability is critical.
Transparent Level Gauges
Transparent gauges use dual glass panels with illumination to differentiate liquid levels. Light passes through the fluid chamber, creating a visible contrast between liquid and vapour. Suitable for total and interface level measurement, these gauges incorporate protective mica or KEL-F shields for steam or corrosive environments.
Magnetic Level Gauges
Magnetic level gauges employ a float with a permanent magnet to rotate bi-coloured indicators externally. This design eliminates glass components, offering safer remote reading capabilities. They are ideal for applications requiring interface level measurement and compatibility with low-density liquids.
Isolation Valves
Isolation valves are engineered for use with liquid level gauges, featuring automatic safety ball checks to prevent fluid loss if glass breaks. Available in straight and offset patterns, they ensure secure operation across diverse pressure and temperature ranges in industrial settings.
Weld Pad Gauges
Weld pad gauges are directly welded to vessels for non-critical applications where traditional gauges are impractical. Designed for continuous operation, they require system-level pressure testing post-installation and are commonly used in tanks with solids-containing liquids.
