ELECTRONIC LEVEL MEASUREMENT
MAGNETIC LEVEL GAUGE (MAGNA-SITE)
The KENCO Magna-Site is a magnetic liquid level gauge used to determine the volume of liquid contained within a vessel. The flag assembly is hermetically sealed and protected inside a stainless steel chamber. Fluorescent green polysulfone flags provide optimum visibility. The Magna-Site features a 360 degree magnetic flux float that ensures accuracy in turbulent applications. This cylindrical float contains a rare earth magnet assembly that is resistant to demagnetization. The unit can be configured with a magnetostrictive transmitter and high/low latching switches. The Magna-Site is available in a variety of materials and configurations.
KTC MAGNETOSTRICTIVE TRANSMITTER
The Model KTC is an advanced, state-of-the-art,two-wire, Magnetostrictive-based level transmitter suitable for a wide range of process applications and can be externally mounted to the Magna-Site Magnetic Level Gauge. The latest microprocessor technology allows this instrument to consistently and reliably measure the level of your process fluid.
Built-in Hart, Modbus RTU or DDA communications allows for remote calibration and diagnostics.
The Model KTC can measure overall level, interface level and process temperature.
Rigid and Flexible sensor options available.
ULTRASONIC LEVEL SWITCHES
Ultrasonic Liquid Level Switches are used to detect the location of liquid level in a process or storage vessel.
KENCO Ultra-sonic Switches use piezoelectric crystals to transform electrical energy into transmittable sound, which is then used to detect the presence of liquid in a given space.
With their unique, crystalbased design, and a wide range of available materials and mounting configurations, the switches can be used in virtually any liquid.
THERMAL DIFFERENTIAL FLOW AND LEVEL SWITCHES
KENCO Thermal Differential Switches are designed for a wide range of flow and level applications. By detecting a temperature differential between two RTDs, the switches can be used to detect overall liquid level, liquidliquid interface, specific flow rates or flow/no flow conditions in liquids and gasses. The 5A DPDT output indicates when the setpoint has been reached, and with a maximum temperature of 850 degrees F, and a maximum pressure rating of 3000 psig, these switches are highly functional.
