Here’s a look at one of our Jerguson® Magnicator® Magnetic Level Indicators installed on a process tank at a chemical processing facility. You’ll notice something different—this gage is inverted. The gage is inverted due to limited lower clearance. The gage being inverted allows the operators to easily access the float from the top flange. This magnetic level indicator is also equipped with SAS-16™ Snap-Action Switches. SAS-16 Switches can be used as a low, low-low, high, or

The Magnicator Indicator connects to a process vessel. The chamber, or "column," contains a sealed float with a permanent magnet assembly which rises and falls as liquid level changes in the process vessel. The permanent magnet assembly in the float is magnetically coupled to an indicator, 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, provi

Performance and reliability are what you expect in a level transmitter - but traditional magnetostrictive transmitters have long been associated with reliability issues around installation, setup, and connectivity. The Jerguson® JMT™ Series Magnetostrictive Transmitter was engineered specifically to solve this. The Problem with Traditional Magnetostrictive Transmitters Reliability issues with traditional magnetostrictive transmitters typically show up in three places: install

Check out this Jerguson® Magnicator® with Guided Wave Radar (MGWR™) - Dual Chamber configuration, headed to a specialty products manufacturer in Louisiana. Dual Chamber vs. Single Chamber MGWR We've covered the single-chamber MGWR design elsewhere, where a slotted internal baffle plate separates the float and GWR probe within one compact chamber. The dual-chamber configuration takes a different approach: rather than sharing one chamber with an internal baffle, the Magnicator

We recently had a chemical manufacturer reach out to us to retrofit their dated transmitter with one of our Jerguson® JMT™ Series Magnetostrictive Transmitters. After the install, the customer reported weak magnetic strength while testing their existing float. They decided to retrofit their entire gage to a Jerguson® Magnicator® Magnetic Level Indicator. The customer utilized our Magnicator® Quick Ship Program, receiving the new magnetic level indicator in 48 hours. How a Tra

A chemical manufacturing company in Texas came to us with a specific need: replace unreliable, dated technology. They wanted their tubular boiler gage with fluorescent lighting replaced with a Jerguson® Armored Level Gage assembly featuring a Jerguson® LumaStar™ LED Illuminator (Model EPL-100). This glass gage assembly was for the facility's Waste Heat Boiler, operating at 120 PSI with a 200 PSI design condition. Two Separate Upgrades in One Project This replacement addressed

A Jerguson® Magnicator® Magnetic Level Indicator paired with a JMT™ Series Magnetostrictive Transmitter was recently sold to an engineering firm in Brasília, Brazil — with another order already underway. The JMT was specified in a Schedule 160 chamber configuration with HART® communication, and it's worth explaining what makes this particular transmitter technology stand out. What Is a Magnetostrictive Transmitter? A magnetostrictive transmitter is a precision level-sensing t

Power plants, chemical plants, and refineries have a large number of potential leak sources that can release harmful fugitive emissions (FEs) into the environment. This creates real risk on multiple fronts: environmental damage, exposure of plant personnel to harmful gases and vapors, and economic impacts from lost product. As a result, regulations are becoming increasingly strict, and many facilities are proactively requiring that any valves procured for future maintenance a

Jacoby-Tarbox Product Manager Dave Purcel covered this exact topic in a session on how better tank mixing directly connects to both profitability and sustainability goals in chemical and industrial facilities. The core message: mixing isn't just a process step — it's an area where hidden costs and missed opportunities often go unnoticed. Let Compliance Lead to Profits Environmental compliance is often treated purely as a cost center — something facilities do to avoid penaltie

We recently shipped two 3" Tank Liquid Agitators (TLAs) to a chemical plant in the Gulf Coast. The Jacoby-Tarbox TLA is an eductor designed for "in-tank" applications — and it's addressing a challenge that's become increasingly important across the chemical and petroleum industry. How Tank Liquid Agitators Work Eductors require no power, which means no moving parts. The design of the eductor creates a pressure differential that allows fluid to flow naturally within the device
