What is the difference between a glass plate level gauge and a glass float level gauge? What occasions are they used for respectively?

A glass level gauge allows direct viewing of the liquid level, while a magnetic flap level gauge detects the level based on the position of a float; the former is more accurate, and for the latter it is important to choose the right specific gravity for the float. For some liquid surfaces, especially interfaces, it is difficult to see them clearly on glass plates; in such cases, permanent-magnet flip plates are more intuitive. Additionally, the magnetic flap can be equipped with remote transmission (for display indoors), and it can also be used to control the start and stop of the pump (the pump starts when the liquid level is high and stops when it is low).

Sir, if it’s an oil-water interface, what type of level gauge should be chosen in this case? ? Can magnetic flip plates provide accurate measurements? ?

Sir, a magnetic flap level gauge should belong to the category of magnetic level indicators, right? ? A glass float level gauge doesn’t seem to be called a magnetic flip plate level gauge

I’m sorry; I misread the question. I mistook the glass plate level gauge with a float for a magnetic flap level gauge. However, a correct response has already been given to another question on the same topic asked by the original poster that day, namely “glass plate level gauge with a float”.

Which brand of magnetic flap level gauge is good? I’ve been using them for so many years, and none of them have worked properly; in fact, they cause problems and can even harm production in severe cases.

I feel that magnetic flap level gauges are relatively better when used on non-pressure vessels (compared to magnetic flaps themselves); We have installed two of them on our pressure-reduced drum; the failure rate of magnetic flap valves is indeed relatively higher.

We highly welcome equipment with reliable quality and few usage issues. The magnetic flap also requires time to address the issue of inaccurate indication.
