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
Transparent gauges employ two transparent glasses and a liquid chamber. The liquid level is indicated as a result of difference in the transparent Properties of the two media. For water/steam application, an illuminator is Mounted on the rear side of gauge with its light rays deflected upwards into The water column.These enable the observer to see the illuminated surface Of the water as the light rays impinge on the surface of separation between water And steam is reflected back to the eye of the observer. For high temperature Application mica shield is used.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
A transparent level gauge is a visual liquid level measurement device used to keep an eye on the liquid levels in process equipment, tanks, and vessels. Operators can see the liquid level directly because to its clear glass plates.
Two clear glasses placed on either side of a chamber are used in a transparent level gauge. A clear and direct visible indicator of the level is provided by the liquid inside the chamber rising and falling in tandem with the liquid level in the vessel.
- Constant and unobstructed visibility of the liquid level
- Both colorful and colorless liquids can use it.
- No need for an external power source
- Accurate and dependable level indicator
- Simple upkeep and installation
- Adequate for applications involving high pressure
Chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, power plants, refineries, pharmaceutical companies, water treatment systems, and industrial process vessels all make extensive use of transparent level gauges.
A Reflex Level Gauge uses prism glass and light reflection to show liquid levels, but a clear Level Gauge allows direct observation of the liquid through clear glass plates. When examining liquid properties or interfaces, transparent gauges are recommended.
Transparent level gauges are appropriate for separation and process monitoring applications because they are perfect for observing the interface between two liquids of differing densities.
Indeed, depending on the material and design requirements, transparent level gauges can function in high-pressure and high-temperature environments.
Stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, and certain corrosion-resistant materials are frequently used in the production of transparent level gauges for harsh industrial settings.
Indeed, for applications requiring harsh chemicals and corrosive fluids, PTFE linings, corrosion-resistant metals, and specific material alternatives are available.
To guarantee precise level indication and secure functioning, routine inspection of the glass, gaskets, chamber, and valves is advised.
Transparent level gauges are a great option for industrial level measurement because they offer precise visual monitoring, direct observation of liquid properties, dependable operation, and a long service life.
Operators can effectively monitor liquid levels in crucial processes thanks to transparent level gauges’ highly precise and real-time visible level indication.
Yes, the center-to-center length, connection type, operating pressure, temperature, and material requirements can all be used to customize transparent level gauges.
Transparent level gauges are widely used for level monitoring and process control in a variety of industries, including petrochemicals, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, food processing, power generation, water treatment, and chemical manufacture.
Depending on material compatibility and application needs, transparent level gauges can monitor a variety of industrial process liquids, including water, oils, chemicals, solvents, fuels, acids, and alkalis.
