Description

Designed as an alternative and upgrade to sight gauge devices, Magnetic Level Indicator (MLI) from Orion Instruments is manufactured to reliably and continuously provide accurate liquid level in a wide range of applications. Our MLI product line—manufactured globally at multiple facilities—requires minimum maintenance and eliminates vapor or liquid emission problems, which are common with sight glass. Orion Instruments specializes in precision engineered excellence and offers highly-customized configurations and options for process environments, including those with extreme temperatures and pressures.
The Vector™ model is an economical, rugged and reliable MLI suitable for a variety of applications in industries including Oil/Gas, chemical, water/wastewater, etc. Vector includes many features and capabilities of our premium models, and conforms to the same global manufacturing standards.

Principle

Magnetic Level Indicators (MLIs) rely on a magnetic float that travels up and down with the liquid in a chamber, which is mounted to a pressure vessel or storage tank. The float contains a magnetic assembly that interacts with an externally-mounted visual indicator. As the float follows the liquid, the magnetic field causes highly contrasting flags in the visual indicator to rotate, therby displaying a highly visible representation of the level.

Magnetically-actuated external point switches and continuous transmitters can expand the function of the MLI by providing high or low alarms, as well as real-time level data supplied to the control room (4-20mA, HART, Foundation fieldbus).
