Jerguson® Magnicator® Magnetic Level Indicator

The Magnicator Indicator is connected to a process vessel. The chamber, or “column”, contains a sealed float with a permanent magnet assembly which rises and falls as the liquid level changes in the process vessel.

The permanent magnet assembly in the float is magnetically coupled to an indicator, which is mounted externally to the gage column but completely isolated from the process liquid. Indicator flags are rotated by the float magnet assembly as it moves up and down in the chamber providing highly visible indication of where the level is inside of the vessel.

Magnetic Liquid Level Indicators are an attractive alternative to sight glasses for many applications. They provide improved visibility, reduced maintenance, and eliminate leak paths associated with sealing glass. Reducing leak paths is critical amongst many users for flammable or toxic service.

Jerguson® FlashProof™ Magnicator®

The Jerguson FlashProof design addresses two potential problems that may occur with standard level indicators: boiling fluids and flashing vapors. By employing a larger 3″ Schedule 40 pipe and two internal guide rods, entrained gases that build up under the float can harmlessly escape. The float is held to one side of the chamber to insure an optimized magnetic field in close proximity to the indicator, transmitter or switches. This provides an accurate float level and indicator reading.

The Jerguson FlashProof design also addresses problems caused by dirty or viscous services. The use of an oversized 3″ Schedule 40 chamber creates additional space to prevent the float from binding when dirt, sludge, or wax-like solids are present in the process fluid. In a standard gage dirty service could potentially bind the float, causing the level to appear unchanged.

Additionally, the bypass zone allows for the gage to be flushed without removing the float from the column.

Magnicator® with Guided Wave Radar (MGWR™)

By combining Guided Wave Radar (GWR) with a Magnetic Level Gage, the Magnicator Guided Wave Radar (MGWR) brings a new standard of assurance to level indication.

The MGWR seamlessly integrates two independent level technologies off a single set of process taps for true redundant measurement. The Jerguson Magnicator utilizes a wide indicator for superior level visibility, and a unique magnet arrangement, so you never have to worry about skipped or missed flags.

The GWR transmitter obtains an independent reading of the liquid level, providing an accurate output even in the case of float failure. The GWR transmitter will read the true level of the fluid even if the density of the product varies.

The Series 300L liquid level gage is a lower cost gage with increased visible ranges. The basic strategy was to provide more visible range per gage section at an economical price. This glass gage series uses the proprietary Jerguson 25mm glass, which is thinner, narrower and longer than traditional gage glass. The Series 300L features a recessed gasket surface, bar-stock non-shrouded covers and ASTM grade bolting. Due to the length of each gage section this model is not recommended for high pressure steam service.

Jerguson Series 300L Liquid Level Gages

Jerguson® Series 20™ Liquid Level Gages

  • Recessed Gasket Seat in Chamber and Cover
  • Tempered Borosilicate Glass conforming to BS3463, JIS B8211, & DIN 7081

The Jerguson Series 20 Glass Gage is the most common gage produced and will cover 80-85% of the applications encountered. Important features include a recessed gasket surface (standard on all gage series) and shrouded covers. A recessed gasket surface provides positive location of the seal gasket during both assembly and field repair and also makes it possible to repair a Jerguson glass liquid level gage while it is mounted to the vessel.

The recessed gasket surface is also an important safety feature in the fact that it contains the gasket and helps prevent lateral movement which could lead to a gasket blow-out (as with competitive gages).

Jerguson Series 20 Liquid Level Gages

Jerguson® Series 32™ Liquid Level Gages

  • Recessed Gasket Seat in Chamber and Cover

  • Recessed Gasket Seat in Chamber and Cover
  • Tempered Borosilicate Glass conforming to BS3463, JIS B8211, & DIN 7081
  • All parts listed in ASTM & ASME B31.3
  • ABS Certified
  • For fluids with low boiling point, such as: Ammonia, Propane, Butane, Methane, Ethylene, LNG, & Refrigerants

Jerguson Large Chamber Liquid Level Gages are designed to give an accurate liquid level reading of liquids that have a tendency to surge or boil. These glass gages are highly effective in:

• reducing the boiling effects of entrained gas being released under low pressure,
• eliminating apparent level fluctuations that occur in standard gages (with small chambers) when boiling / flashing vapors try to rise to the surface, and
• applications where the operating temperature is below freezing and high ambient temperatures cause the temperature of the fluid in the gage to exceed the boiling point of the liquid.

In applications where the operating temperature is below freezing the gage must be equipped with non-frost extensions.

Jerguson JMT Series Magnetostrictive Transmitter

MTII 4300™ Magnetostrictive Transmitter

The MTII4300 precisely senses the position of the Magnicator float by applying a short 1.5μs pulse to the sensing element. This pulse creates a magnetic field around the sensing element. When the float’s magnetic field and the sensing element’s magnetic field intersect, a twist occurs in the sensing element. Based on the time between the initial pulse and the detection of the corresponding twist, the location of the float magnet can be precisely calculated.

MTII 4300 Magnetostrictive Transmitter

RST2™ Level Transmitter

The RST2 sensor is a chain of magnetic reed switches and resistors mounted within a heavy wall stainless steel tubing assembly. As the float within the Magnicator responds to liquid level change in the chamber, the float actuates adjacent reed switches. The reed switch and resistors provide a varying resistance output.

It is this output that is measured by the RST2 electronics module, as an indication of liquid level. The RST2 transmitter will provide a 4–20 mA signal proportional to the liquid level indicated by the Magnicator.

RST2 Level Transmitter

SAS-16™ Snap-Action Switch

The switch mechanism is based on a unique Jerguson tri-magnet design where the snap action is accomplished by the utilization of magnetic repulsion. The magnet mounted in the float causes the secondary magnet to rotate as it passes up and down.

The switch magnet is repelled by the secondary and snaps to the opposite side. This causes the cradle to pivot, moving the push rod which operates the switch contacts. The result is positive snap-action interlock switching – no springs… no cams… no problems.
