TC Klinger has introduced the LevelSure range of level gauges with two independent measuring principles from the same system. It is particularly useful in conditions where a high level of confidence is necessary in the level readings, for example, in the off-shore, petrochemical, power and pharmaceutical industries where the signals can be compared relative to each other, either at the point of use or in the control room.

LevelSure combines the operation of a float operated magnetic level indicator with the advanced technology of reed chain, magnetostrictive or guided wave radar transmitters. Mike Abbott, Sales Director at TC Klinger comments Users benefit from the visual readout and from the 4 – 20mA signals provided from the transmitter options, with resolution down to 1.0mm available.Housed in a completely self-contained unit, it can be side mounted to a tank or vessel with threaded, flanged or welded pipe connections to suit individual customer specifications.

The guided wave principle is based on high frequency microwave pulses that are transmitted along a guide rod suspended from the top of the measuring chamber. The pulses are reflected back by the product surface to a receiver. These level echoes are analysed and converted to level information by an electronic module in the head unit to an accuracy of +/-3mm.

Microwaves are almost totally independent of all processed conditions. They are not sensitive to dust and vapour – even conditions such as heavy steam environments do not influence the accuracy or reliability. For applications requiring a greater degree of reliability, the guided wave radar is SIL 2 compliant in the standard supply.

Mike Abbott adds LevelSure is a major development from the leading company in level instrumentation and provides our customers with essential added confidence in their level readings. Our instruments are also mechanically ATEX compliant and certified E Ex c for constructional safety
