Kynar helps level switch resist corrosive media
A compact, ultrasonic, two-wire level switch which can detect high or low level, across a wide range of corrosive media, is the latest addition to the products offered by Magnetrol International.
Level and flow switch is 'Atex' intrinsically safe
Two-wire and intrinsically safe are important requirements for many process control components like level and flow switches, especially when hazardous fluids are involved.
The two technologies, although combined, operate completely independently to provide a total redundant solution, whereby one system runs continuously in parallel to the other.
Neither 'system' requires any calibration and only one pair of side/side process connections is required, resulting in reduced installation and maintenance costs.
With a suitable float, Aurora can measure liquid level and interface, the only condition being a specific gravity difference of only 0.1kg/dm3 between the upper and lower fluid.
Aurora can operate in applications where temperatures range from -150 to 400C, pressures are from vacuum up to 345bar and can handle measuring ranges from 356mm up to 5.7m.
The two-wire loop-powered transmitter is available with HART/AMS protocol and ATEX intrinsically safe or explosion proof certification.
It can be easily adapted with noninvasive secondary equipment, such as bistable switches and/or reed chain transmitter.
Aurora is especially suited for operation on clean liquids, hydrocarbons and other water based media with a dielectric of 1.4 -100.
Typical applications are in hydrocarbon processing, such as petrochemical, chemical, refining and offshore industries. Request a free brochure from Magnetrol International ...
