INTRODUCTION

The level gauges series LT are very robust equipment and resistant to extreme conditions of
temperature and pressure, as well as corrosive chemicals, depending on the manufacturing
materials used.
They can fit switches that allow to detect a specific level and provide an alarm signal to a
remote device. They can also fit a resistive sensor with a 4-20 mA transmitter proportional to
the level.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

A float inside a chamber communicated with the tank whose liquid level needs to be
measured, floats on the liquid surface and moves together with it, as level increases or
decreases.
The float is designed for the specific working liquid density and shows the tank level by
means of magnetic coupling.
This is possible thanks to an external float housed in a borosilicate glass pipe (LT models)
that rises or falls depending on the height of the level in the tank, or by a magnetic strips rail
(LTL models), that mounted externally and isolated of the level gauge chamber, changes its
colour with the magnetic field.
