The Float Switch: A Simple, Reliable Measurement Method for Almost All Liquid Media
Patrick McGrath | Know-howDue to its reliability, a float switch is one of the most frequently used measurement technologies for monitoring liquid media levels. It's simple yet effective design consists of a hollow float within a guide tube, rising and falling with liquid levels and activating …
Diaphragm Seals Improve Reliability in Bioethanol Production
Hardy Orzikowski | Know-howIn bioethanol production processes, engineers must closely monitor pressure, temperature, level, and flow in order to ensure safe and efficient operations. Diaphragm seals in these applications do double duty: protect pressure measurement instruments from the medium, …
WIKA’s Magnetic Level Indicators for Tanks
Patrick McGrath | LevelWIKA USA’s magnetic level indicators can be mounted horizontally or vertically. Mounting it vertically at the top of a tank is an effective and economical solution for mobile storage tanks, tanks with limited access, and tanks that do not have side process …
Spring Gasket Assembly Protects the Float Inside a Level Gauge
Patrick McGrath | LevelEven the best designed and matched-to-conditions level gauge can encounter unexpected pressure issues, which could crush a magnetic level indicator’s float. If this occurs, fragments could enter the process and contaminate a batch. A simple spring gasket assembly …
