The selection of side mounted magnetic flap level gauges should be based on core dimensions such as medium characteristics, operating parameters, installation interfaces, and functional requirements, while adapting to special configurations according to application scenarios

work pressureConventional side mounted models have a pressure resistance of ≤ 4.0MPa. If used for high-pressure storage tanks (such as liquefied gas storage tanks), high-pressure customized models should be selected, which can adapt to a maximum pressure of 10MPa. The pressure parameters determine the thickness of the main pipe and the welding process to avoid flange leakage.

medium temperatureSuitable for ordinary models -20 ℃~200 ℃, high-temperature scenarios (such as chemical reaction vessels) can choose high-temperature models that can withstand 500 ℃; Low temperature environments require insulation layers or electric heat tracing devices to prevent the solidification of the medium from affecting the movement of the float.Determine the measurement range and installation interface

measurement rangeThe measurement range of the side mounted type is the center distance between the upper and lower connecting pipes, with a conventional range of 300-18000mm. If the height of the storage tank exceeds the conventional range, a segmented level gauge needs to be used for splicing measurement.

connection methodThe mainstream is flange connection (commonly DN25 specification), but clamp connection or threaded connection can also be selected as needed. The specifications of the reserved interface for the storage tank need to be confirmed in advance, and the flange sealing should be matched with corrosion-resistant gaskets such as PTFE to avoid medium leakage.

Select feature configuration

Basic DisplayThe ordinary type is displayed with a two-color flip panel on site (red with liquid, white without liquid). In high temperature or high impact scenarios, the plastic flip panel needs to be replaced with a metal flip panel to prevent deformation and damage.

Remote transmission functionWhen connecting to an automation system, an optional 4-20mA current signal output or RS485 communication model that supports Modbus and HART protocols can be used for remote monitoring.

Alarm and explosion preventionFlammable and explosive scenarios (such as oil storage tanks) require the selection of Ex d IIC T6 explosion-proof certification models; When liquid level warning is required, a magnetic switch should be installed to achieve high and low liquid level switch quantity alarm, which is suitable for safety production needs.

Adapt to environmental protection level

Outdoor installation must meet the waterproof and dustproof rating of IP66 or above. In humid or dusty environments, it can be upgraded to IP67 to prevent rainwater and dust from entering the interior and affecting the sensitivity of magnetic components. Choosing IP65 protection level for indoor normal working conditions can meet basic needs.
