Users have a choice of three probe types up to 65 ft. Krohne 800/FLOWING www.krohne.com |
 |
MAGNETIC LEVEL INDICATOR Vegamag 62 magnetic level indicator uses a magnetized float to cause a series of metal flags to rotate, indicating the position of the liquid level inside of the chamber. The corresponding bridle houses a Vegaflex guided- wave radar, which provides redundant level by transmitting a 4-20 mA signal for control. It is an ideal replacement for sight glasses, displacers and DP transmitters. Vega Americas 800/367-5383 www.vega-americas.com |
