THE YPL Level gauges are used for measuring the level in the vessel. These can be used for maximum pressure of Upto150kg/cm² and a Maximum temperature of 400⁰C .constructional features include 2.5 Meter single piece construction with multiple glasses between process Connection. A pair of auto shut off ball check valves in material of Construction carbon steel or stainless steel and polypropylene as optional.
Principle of Operation
The principal of reflex level gauges is based on the difference in the refractive Indicates of liquid &vapor. The liquid column is contained within the recess Of liquid chamber behind the sight glass which is clamped to the gauge body. The Sight glass has prismatic right angled grooves on the side facing the liquid And vapor space light raise entering from right outside the gauge are either Absorbed or reflected depending upon whether they enter the liquid or vapor Space.When the ray of light encounters the surface of one of the grooves in vapor Space, it is reflected to the opposite space appears as silvery white. When the light Ray encounters the surface of grooves in the liquid space, it is totally absorbed Thereby the liquid behind the glass appear black.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Liquid levels in tanks, boilers, and process vessels can be visually monitored with a Reflex Level Gauge, a direct-reading liquid level measurement tool. It makes a clear distinction between the liquid and vapor phases using prismatic glass that has been carefully constructed.
Light refraction is the basis for how a reflex level gauge works. Without the need for an additional power source, the liquid level is readily apparent thanks to the prism-shaped grooves in the glass that reflect light differently through liquid and vapor.
- A precise and unambiguous liquid level indicator
- No need for external power
- Robust and uncomplicated construction
- Simple upkeep and installation
- An affordable approach for level monitoring
- Ideal for use in industrial settings
Steam boilers, pressure vessels, storage tanks, chemical plants, power plants, petrochemical facilities, and industrial process systems all frequently employ reflex level gauges.
Indeed, depending on the model and material requirements, Reflex Level Gauges are made to endure high-pressure and high-temperature operating situations.
While a Transparent Level Gauge employs two transparent glasses and is appropriate for viewing liquid properties, interfaces, and colorful fluids, a Reflex Level Gauge uses prismatic glass to offer level visibility by light refraction.
Indeed, reflex level gauges are frequently utilized in boiler and steam applications due to their ability to deliver a clear and dependable level signal under demanding operating conditions.
Stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, and other corrosion-resistant materials are commonly used in the production of reflex level gauges to accommodate various industrial settings.
To guarantee precise level indication and long-term operational dependability, routine inspection of the gauge glass, gaskets, valves, and chamber is advised.
Indeed, protective coatings and unique material alternatives are available for applications involving harsh process fluids and corrosive chemicals.
For industrial liquid level monitoring, a reflex level gauge is the best option since it offers dependable visual level indication, good visibility, low maintenance, durability, and safe operation.
Reflex level gauges enable operators to efficiently monitor liquid levels in crucial industrial operations by providing a highly dependable and accurate visual level signal.
In order to satisfy particular application needs, Reflex Level Gauges can be tailored in terms of length, pressure rating, construction material, connection method, and operating temperature.
Reflex level gauges are frequently used for level monitoring in a variety of industries, including oil and gas, petrochemicals, power generation, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, water treatment, and manufacturing facilities.
