Transparent Level Gauge

TRANSPARENT LEVEL GAUGE WORKING PRINCIPLE AND APPLICATION- SUPPLIED BY
MANUFACTURER
Transparent Level Gauge is an essential instrument in fluid monitoring,
comprising a metallic body with an internal chamber and multiple viewing
windows. Suitable for almost all installations, it allows the observation of
the fluid level, interface, and color within the vessel, making it an
indispensable tool in many industrial applications.
Working Principle
Transparent Level Gauges operate with two plate glasses between which the fluid
resides. The level is indicated due to the differing transparency of the fluid
and gaseous states, and in some cases, a light source located behind the gauge
illuminates the separation surface, enhancing visibility. This light is
completely reflected downward, providing a clear view to the observer.

Applications
Transparent Level Gauges find broad applicability across industries wherever
fluid level monitoring is necessary. This includes installations where the use
of protective mica or Polytrifluorochloroethylene shields is necessary to
protect the gauge glass from corrosive fluids. Additionally, they are ideal for
observing interfaces and color changes in the fluid, making them suitable for
water/steam applications and monitoring colorless, highly fluid substances.

Advantages
These gauges offer several benefits, such as versatility for a wide range of
installations and compatibility with protective shields for increased
durability. Their design allows for the observation of interface and fluid
color, providing critical information about the process fluid. Furthermore, the
inclusion of safety ball-check devices in cross-fittings or shut-off valves
prevents leakages, enhancing safety and reliability.

Information
Typically, valves are fitted between the gauge and its connecting ends,
allowing for easy disassembly without needing to empty the vessel. Furthermore,
Transparent Level Gauges can be customized with various connection options,
including flanged, threaded, or welded ends. This adaptability ensures that
they can fit seamlessly into your specific installation requirements.
