What is a magnetic type level gauge?
A magnetic Level Gauge is also called a magnetic level indicator. Magnetic Level Gauge is developed based on the principle of buoyancy and magnetic effect. The magnetic float in the measuring cylinder drives the two-color turning column on the external display of the measuring cylinder to flip with the increase (decrease) of the liquid level to be measured. As the position of the float changes, the indicator moves up and down the same amount. Supports top-mounted and side-mounted. It can be used for liquid level detection in high temperature, low temperature, high pressure, strong corrosion, highly toxic and dangerous environments.
The parts and components of Magnetic Level Gauge are made of 304, 321, 316L, 1Cr18Ni9Ti, 00Cr17Ni14Mo2, 0Cr18Ni9, 304 or 0Cr18Ni9 lined with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), PVC, PP, and other materials. And imported high-quality electronic components. The product has high reliability, good stability, long-lasting durability, and strong corrosion resistance.

In order to meet the needs of different occasions, environments, and functions, Magnetic Level Gauge can add the following options:
- Optional single-pole single-throw (SPST), single-pole double-throw (SPDT) passive bistable magnetic switches to achieve high and low liquid level, interface control or alarm. The number of magnetic switches is not limited.
- Optional two-wire magnetic liquid level sensor, output 4~20mADC signal, realize remote measurement and control,
- Optional two-wire magnetostrictive or capacitive liquid level sensor, output 4 ~ 20mADC, to achieve high-precision, continuous measurement and control. Selection of the technological interface form of the level gauge.
- The top and bottom structure of the level gauge are selected. Output 4~20mADC with HART protocol
The Magnetic Level Gauge adopts the principle of the communicating device and is connected to the container through the gas-phase and liquid-phase connection flanges. According to the principle of buoyancy and magnetic coupling, the magnetic float in the measuring cylinder (that is, the communicating device) drives the two-color flipping column on the external display of the measuring cylinder to flip with the increase (decrease) of the liquid level to be measured.
When the liquid level rises, the magnetic float drives the turning column to rotate 180°, displaying red or green; when the liquid level drops, the magnetic float drives the turning column to rotate 180° in reverse, displaying white. The height of the red band (or green band) is the height of the measured liquid surface, which realizes the purpose of measuring and displaying the position of the measured liquid (interface) surface.
Each magnetic turning column is a two-color axial symmetric structure. The distance between the two magnetic turning columns is 10mm. White and red (or green) are used to indicate the gas phase and the liquid phase, and the red (or green) and white junctions It is the boundary between the liquid phase and the gas phase.
Magnetic Level Gauge can measure both the liquid level and the interface between two different density media.
Product standards: HG/T2742-1995, HG/T21584-95.
Flange executive standard: HG/T20592~20615—2009 (when the order is not specified)
The working principle of the magnetic level gauge is to communicate with the container, so the liquid level in the measuring chamber will be the same as the liquid level in the container. The measuring chamber is equipped with a float, and there is a magnet in the float.
The float with magnets will float on the medium, and the magnets in the float will rotate the flaps of the indicating rail. The float in the measuring tube is standard, there is no pressure, no magnetism, or mechanical guidance.
This structure makes the risk of the float lower than that of the standard pressurized float. When necessary, pressurized floats can be produced.
With the below-mentioned process conditions, it is possible to select a float that will float on the medium.
- Medium
- Density
- Working pressure
- Operating Temperature
Magnetic Level Indicators can be directly used to observe the level of the medium in various containers. It is suitable for liquid level indication in petroleum, chemical, and other industrial fields. The liquid level gauge has a simple structure, intuitive and clear observation, no blockage, no leakage, convenient installation, and simple maintenance.

Magnetic Float Level Switches & Sensors with Magnetic Reed Switches for Continuous Level Measurement.
Magnetic Float Level Sensor works with Reed Switch, is a continuous level sensor. SI-U04 Magnetic Float Level Sensor-Reed operates on a direct, simple principle. As the magnetic float rises and falls as liquid levels change. The magnetic field generated from the inside of the float drives the sealed reed switch installed in the stem. The stem is made of non-magnetic metal or strong engineering plastic.
Magnetic Float Level Sensor gets the liquid level signal, transfers it into digital current signal and switching signal. Generally speaking, there are two structures of magnetic floats. Besides, the Magnetic Float Level Sensor supports multiple mounting methods. Such as top-mounted, side-mounted. So SI-U04 Magnetic Float Level Sensor can be applied to a variety of tank level measurements.
