Reflex Level Gauge

Reflex Level Gauge is a sophisticated device used to measure liquid levels in a
container. It utilizes a reflex glass with a prismatically grooved face
pointing towards the gauge chamber. This setup facilitates a clear distinction
between liquid and gas/vapor zones based on their brightness, resulting in an
efficient and easy-to-read level indication.
Materials:
Level gauge glass. The critical component of a reflex level gauge is its level
gauge glass. This glass is engineered to withstand the harsh conditions of
various industrial applications, exhibiting resilience even under high
pressure, high temperatures, or corrosive environments. It can be easily
sourced and installed, thanks to the convenience of online shopping.

Level Gauge Working Principle:

The Reflex Glass Level Gauges operate based on light refraction and reflection
principles. These gauges utilize specially crafted glass angled towards a
chamber with 90° prismatic grooves. During usage, liquid fills the lower
chamber section, while gases or vapors occupy the upper part. The liquid level
is discerned from the distinct brightness contrast between the zones. Reflex
gauges function efficiently without specific illumination, relying on natural
daylight, and only need artificial lighting at night. The variation in
brightness is achieved as follows:

The liquid zone appears significantly dark during operation due to the
refraction of most light rays inside the liquid, resulting in an almost black
appearance because the non-reflective gauge chamber interior prevents the
refracted rays from being externally visible.

In contrast, the gas/vapor zone appears nearly silver due to total reflection
of light rays at the glass/gas-vapor interface. This reflection, causing a 90°
turn, makes the rays observable, thus giving the zone a bright silver
appearance.
