The most popular chamber configuration, the SF/ST/SW styles feature a flange on the bottom of the chamber for
float installation / removal and a pipe cap designed in accordance with ASME Section VIII guidelines on the top of the chamber. With all chamber
configurations, clearances for installation and maintenance must be considered. In order to install the level gage, a distance greater than the
float length is required below the bottom process connection. In order to allow access to the float after installation, a clearance equal to twice
the float length should be designed into the system. |

ESF / EST / ESW Styles:

The ESF/EST/ESW styles feature a flange end on both the top and bottom of
the chamber for float installation / removal. Popular for refining
applications, flanges on both ends provides access to the float from either
the top or bottom of the chamber and allows for easier cleaning / flushing
of the chamber in the event of process contamination or build-up. If design
considerations do not allow enough clearance below the bottom process connection,
these configurations could be utilized while maintaining float access. |

The modified chamber style provides virtually unlimited flexibility to custom
configure a magnetic level gage chamber to meet customer specific
requirements. The modified chamber could have many different forms, two examples
of which are shown here. |

The EF configuration is utilized for “in-line” mounting of a magnetic level gage. When specifying
an EF style, note the differences between the overall length of the gage and the visible range. The size of the blind section at the bottom of
the gage will be driven by the float size, based on pressure, temperature and specific gravity. |

BEF Style: |

The BEF configuration is unique as it mounts directly to the top of a vessel rather than the side. A BEF style gage features two floats. The lower float
rides in the process fluid and generates buoyancy for the gage. The upper float carries the magnet assembly to drive the indicator, switches or transmitter.
The two floats are connected via a connecting rod. As the liquid level inside the vessel fluctuates, the two floats move in unison to indicate the level
of liquid in the vessel. For longer length gages, a stilling pipe is recommended to keep the lower float in-line with the gage and minimize any turbulence
effects. The range achievable will be based on the size of the mounting flange in addition to your process conditions. |
