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

We had a customer reach out to us last week via our online chat feature and ask: "I have a Clark Reliance FG-466 Gage Glass. Which DuraStar model can I use for illumination on this gage glass?" One of our technical experts replied promptly: "The DuraStar model number for the FG466 Flat Glass Gage is: DS1000-1612-1. This is for Ordinary (non-hazardous) locations." Why Matching the Exact Gage Model Matters This exchange illustrates something worth understanding about illuminato

The GRQ Engineered Hygienic Clamp, after solving sealing and gasket intrusion problems for customers in all applications, has moved to the next level of performance expectations: gall resistance without the introduction of thread lubrication. The Problem Most Manufacturers Don't Fully Solve Most manufacturers provide a torque specification and then state, "values are based on lubricated threads." This is a real limitation in hygienic and sanitary applications specifically - t

Choosing between a reflex and transparent gage is one of the most fundamental decisions in specifying level indication - and the right choice depends entirely on what your application actually needs to show you. Reflex Level Gages: Clean Total Level Indication Jerguson® Reflex Level Gages are ideal for clean total level indication applications for refining, petrochemical, and general use applications. The reflex prisms are molded and polished to provide a crisp black-silver b

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

Did you know? The LumaStar™ Illuminator - Model EPL-100 can be used on a reflex style gage. While illuminators are traditionally used as a back light on transparent style gages, they can be used on reflex style gages to provide extra lighting. Reflex vs. Transparent: Two Different Ways of Showing Level The choice between reflex and transparent gages is application based, and each shows liquid level differently. A reflex gage uses molded prisms on the process side of the glass

Check out this Jacoby-Tarbox Flanged Sight Flow Indicator on a propane loading station at a fractionation facility in Ohio. What Fractionation Plants Do Fractionation separates a mixed hydrocarbon stream - often natural gas liquids - into its individual components, such as propane, butane, and ethane, based on differing boiling points. Once separated, these individual products need to be measured, verified, and loaded for transport, which is exactly where a sight flow indicat

The bubble trap is a component of a chromatography skid that allows for the degassing of process solutions. Chromatography is the process of separating different components from a mixture or solution. Why Degassing Matters for Chromatography Entrained gas in a process fluid stream can interfere with chromatography separation - bubbles moving through the system can disrupt flow consistency and detection accuracy at exactly the stage where precise separation matters most. A bub
