What kind of level gauge and level switch should be used for asphalt?

Thread Content

Asphalt storage tank, at atmospheric pressure, operating temperature of 130 degrees. There is a mixer and heating coil at the bottom of the tank side. I would like to know what type of remote level gauge and level switch would be suitable for use

You should ask Haiyou Sikong Zhaixing Dajia; he knows best in all of China how to properly measure the asphalt level. . . {:2_42:} Monkey

If it’s not very high, a magnetic flap top-mounted level gauge with a sleeve can be used.

External level gauges and external level switches – just adding to the discussion. There are some opportunities in the asphalt sector; those who are interested can ask for more detailed information! :)

Top-mounted magnetic flap, cost-effective; inspection completed.

What’s the use of being cheap? Asphalt at 130°C emits steam, and in less than 3 days, your magnetic flap will stop working properly. . . . . . {:2_32:} Monkey jokes that you’re uneducated. . .

Radar/ultrasonic level gauges, RF admittance switches – it seems there are specialized asphalt level gauges available; you might want to check that out. Haha

Radar and magnetic flip plates don’t last long. What was said on the 7th floor is correct. A float can be used, but its measurement range is limited; we have used it in our semi-finished product tanks. There are over-the-counter options available, but I’ve never used them, so I don’t know how effective they are.

For media with high viscosity, a floating ball is the preferred choice.

That’s their magnetic flip switch; mine doesn’t experience any pressure at all.
