TM MAGNETIC LEVEL INDICATOR Vector™ is a rugged, reliable and costeffective Magnetic Level Indicator (MLI). Suitable for a variety of installations, Vector has many basic features and is precisionengineered and manufactured to ensure a long service life. MLIs are widely used to replace highmaintenance sight and gauge glass indicators and are increasingly used in new applications. Optional switches and transmitters are available to provide various output signals for level control. TM • Feedwater heaters • Blowdown flash tanks • Hot wells • Oil/water separators • Vacuum tower bottoms • Flash drums • Alkylation units • Surge tanks • Propane vessels • Gas chillers • Storage tanks • Deaerators ...and many others 2 Principle of Operation A float travels up and down in a chamber that is mounted to a liquidcontaining vessel. The float contains a magnetic assembly that interacts with an externally-mounted visual indicator. As the float follows the liquid surface or liquid-liquid interface, the magnetic field causes highly contrasting flags in the visual indicator to rotate. The result is a clearly defined representation of the liquid level in the vessel. Features • Rugged, industrial-grade construction • Field adjustable visual indicator for convenient viewing • Continuous measuring range up to 549 cm (216”) • Compatible with electronic point switches and continuous level transmitters • Media specific gravity as low as 0.54 • Shatter-resistant viewing window • Single magnet per flag to enhance float coupling effect and self-alignment The Vector™ float contains high-strength alloy magnets that facilitate a strong coupling with the externally-mounted visual indication, as well as any switches or transmitters. Every float is manufactured specifically for each application. Process pressure, temperature, and media specific gravity are all factored into the custom design. The Vector™ high-visibility visual indicator is constructed with quality materials and engineered for reliable performance. Each flag contains an alloy magnet that maximizes coupling with the float. The flags are mechanically limited to a half-rotation, which eliminates the possibility of over-rotation common with other magnetic level indicators. 3 4 M 1 2 1 3 4 5 1 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 3 Mounting Configuration & Chamber Construction 7 8 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Connection Orientation Chamber Top Chamber Bottom A Welded Flat Cap Threaded Plug (NPT) Side / Side B Side / Side Threaded Plug (NPT) Welded Flat Cap 1 Side / Side Welded Flat Cap Flange 2 Side / Side Flange Welded Flat Cap Required Flange Rating A 150# B 300# Material of Construction A 316/316L Stainless Steel Chamber B 316/316L Stainless Steel Chamber with Carbon Steel Fittings & Flanges C 304/304L Stainless Steel Chamber D 304/304L Stainless Steel Chamber with Carbon Steel Fittings & Flanges 1 PVC plastic 2 CPVC plastic Option A Option B Option 1 Option 2 Construction Grade 1 Industrial Grade Chamber Flange Type N No Chamber Flange (required if model code 3 is either A or B) A Raised Face Slip-On Flange (required if model code 3 is either 1 or 2) P Full Face Socket Flange (for PVC and CPVC material only) Process Connection Type A 9 Process Connection Size A 1/2” M Male Threaded (NPT) B 3/4” R C 1” D 1-1/2” E 2” Raised Face Flange, Slip-On Style Butt Weld Van Stone Flange (PVC / CPVC only) Gasket Style for Chamber Flange (if applicable) N None (required if model code 3 is either A or B) A Flexible Graphite Ring (required if model code 3 is either 1 or 2) P EPDM Rubber (required if model code 5 is either 1 or 2) 8 Process Connection Type Other gasket options available.
