For use on boilers, with a range of 800 mm, a temperature of around 300 degrees, and a pressure of PN160 – should a magnetic flap level gauge or a boiler-type level gauge be used? What’s the difference between these two? Which one is more suitable for this operating condition?
Consider glass plates – those color-changing columns designed for such high temperatures are likely not up to the task; even at temperatures over 100 degrees, they melt and stick together.
Magnetic flap valves are generally not considered for boilers, as the temperature is too high. It is usually double-color glass panels and electric contact level gauges
Commonly used in boiler drum: balance vessel, dual-color water level gauge, electric contact water level gauge
Magnetic flip plates cannot withstand high temperatures; the people upstairs are right – they are not suitable for measuring the water level in a steam drum.
