Regarding the selection of level gauges
Thread Content
It’s a reaction vessel with stirring in the middle; the material is sticky, the temperature is around 100 degrees, and there is steam inside the vessel. What type of level gauge should be used?
I just installed one; it uses magnetic flap valves with flange connections, DN50

How many ports does this reactor leave for the level gauge? How big is it, and where does it grow? All of these involve instrument selection.
Is the vibration of this mixer strong? What is the medium name? Will it stick to the wall?
If there is a stirrer inside the tank, there isn’t really any excellent way to measure the liquid level other than installing it directly on the tank. If there is a bypass pipe, guided-wave radar or capacitive sensors could be considered; I can think of no better alternatives. In the absence of a bypass pipe, it’s best to leave a glass observation window for manual visual inspection – that’s the most reliable method
