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.

D/P PURGE CONTROLS
King-Gage D/P purge controls send a regulated, low-volume air flow to purge a length of pipe extending downward to the tank bottom. Changes in liquid depth increase or decrease the resulting internal air pressure while a differential pressure transmitter generates a 4-20 mA output proportional to the level in the tank. Accurate level measurement and repeatability to within ±0.2%.
