Introduction
Our magnetic float level transmitter adopts mature resistance-current conversion measurement principle, delivering continuous analog digital level reading instead of simple point switch signals. This series provides graded wetted material configurations including stainless steel, PTFE coated and plastic PP/PVC/PVDF types, covering light oil, clean water, strong acid and alkali corrosive fluids with density ≥0.5g/cm³, and supports liquid-liquid interface detection when medium density difference reaches above 0.2g/cm³.
Supported ultra-fine resolution options (5mm / 10mm / 20mm) and industry-leading ±0.1% full scale measurement precision ensure stable, repeatable continuous level data within the full measuring range from 200mm up to 4000mm. Powered by standard 24VDC, it carries abundant multi-signal output options: 4-20mA+HART, standalone 4-20mA, 1-5VDC, RS485 Modbus and PA protocol, with flexible 2-wire and 4-wire wiring modes to match various PLC, DCS and secondary display instruments.
Three material versions carry tiered pressure and temperature resistance to match distinct process working conditions: stainless steel type withstands up to 5MPa process pressure and 120°C medium temperature for high-pressure chemical and petrochemical vessels; PTFE coated variant balances moderate pressure and anti-corrosion capacity; plastic PP/PVC/PVDF series works under atmospheric pressure, ideal for low-cost corrosive fluid storage tanks. Standard Φ19mm guide tube with optional Φ14mm size, matched with Φ75mm standard float (Φ52mm optional for stainless steel models), supports flange, thread and bracket three installation ways to adapt side-mounted, top-mounted and external bypass tank structures.
Optional dual explosion-proof certifications Ex ia IIC T6 Ga and Ex db IIC T4~T6 Gb enable safe deployment in flammable and explosive hazardous zones. IP protected electrical cavity with M20*1.5, 1/2NPT, 3/4NPT wiring ports maintains stable operation at ambient temperature -30℃ ~ 75℃ (plastic version -30~70℃). Widely applied in petrochemical, fine chemical, water treatment, food & beverage and power industries, this magnetic float level transmitter acts as an economical continuous level measuring solution combining high precision, complete corrosion resistance grades and diversified signal output for tank inventory management and closed-loop process automatic control.

FAQ
Q1: What is the core measurement principle of this magnetic float level transmitter, and how does it differ from ordinary magnetic float switches?
A: This transmitter relies on Archimedes buoyancy and reed switch resistance-current conversion to output continuous linear analog/digital signals, supporting full-range liquid level real-time tracking and remote data transmission. Ordinary magnetic float switches only output simple point on-off alarm signals without continuous value feedback. Smaller reed switch distribution gaps deliver finer resolution (5mm minimum) and higher measurement accuracy for inventory metering.
Q2: What are the differences between stainless steel, PTFE coated and plastic PP/PVC/PVDF three material versions, how to select?
A: ① 304/316L stainless steel: max range 4000mm, withstand 0~5MPa pressure, medium temperature up to 120℃, for high-pressure petrochemical and high-temperature reaction tanks; ② PTFE coated: max 4000mm range, max 2.5MPa pressure, 120℃ medium temperature, moderately anti-corrosive for organic solvent tanks; ③ PP/PVC/PVDF plastic: max 3500mm range, only atmospheric pressure, segmented temperature limit, low-cost choice for strong acid-base normal-pressure storage tanks.
Q3: Can this transmitter measure layered oil-water interface? What are the medium requirements?
A: Yes, it supports liquid-liquid interface monitoring. The density difference between upper and lower media must reach ≥0.2g/cm³ to ensure stable interface identification. The medium density needs to be ≥0.5g/cm³ to drive the float to float normally, and we can match different density customized floats upon request to optimize measurement accuracy.
Q4: What signal output options are available, and does it support HART and Modbus communication?
A: Rich multi-format outputs are integrated: 4-20mA+HART intelligent signal, independent 4-20mA current, 1-5VDC voltage, RS485 Modbus RTU and PA protocol. Both 2-wire and 4-wire power supply wiring are optional, seamlessly connecting with local display meters and remote central control systems without extra signal conversion equipment.
Q5: Does this series support installation in flammable and explosive hazardous workshops?
A: Yes, dual explosion-proof certifications are optional for all models: intrinsic safety Ex ia IIC T6 Ga and flameproof Ex db II CT4~T6 Gb, meeting Zone 1/2 gas hazardous zone installation standards.
Q6: What installation ways does the magnetic float level transmitter support?
A: Three universal industrial installation forms are available: flange connection, thread connection and bracket external mounting. It matches top-mounted, side-mounted and external bypass pipe tank structures. Standard guide tube Φ19mm (Φ14mm optional), standard float Φ75mm; stainless steel version supports customized small Φ52mm float for narrow-diameter tanks.
Q7: What is the service life of the reed switch core component, and does daily frequent calibration needed?
A: High-quality reed switches are adopted as sensing core with excellent wear resistance; there is no mechanical friction inside the guide tube during operation. Routine frequent calibration is not required under standard working conditions; only periodic inspection every 1–2 years is recommended for high-precision metering and critical hazardous process equipment.
Q8: What are the limits of operating and storage ambient temperature?
A: Stainless steel and PTFE coated models work stably at ambient temperature -30℃ ~ 75℃; PP/PVC/PVDF plastic versions adapt to -30℃ ~ 70℃ ambient temperature. Long-term exposure to ultra-high temperature direct sunlight without protective cabinets is not recommended.
