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 float and GWR probe each have their own dedicated chamber, connected to the same process taps.
This matters for facilities where a fully separate chamber for each measurement technology is preferred - whether for maintenance access, chamber-specific material requirements, or simply matching an existing piping configuration that calls for two distinct connection points rather than one combined chamber.
The Core Redundancy Principle Stays the Same
Whether single or dual chamber, the underlying value proposition doesn't change: by combining Guided Wave Radar with a Magnetic Level Gage, the MGWR integrates two independent level technologies off a single set of process taps for true redundant measurement. The Jerguson Magnicator provides a wide indicator for superior visibility with a unique magnet arrangement preventing skipped or missed flags, while the GWR transmitter obtains a fully independent reading that stays accurate even in the case of float failure or fluid density variation.
Why a Specialty Products Manufacturer Chose This Configuration
Specialty chemical and product manufacturing often involves a wider range of process fluids and conditions than a single-product facility, which can make the flexibility of separate, dedicated chambers appealing - each chamber can be specified and maintained somewhat independently, while still delivering the same redundant measurement principle at the process level.
