B40-P & B40-H Liquid Level Switch ASME B31.1 Compliant D E S C R I P T I O N Magnetrol B40-P & B40-H liquid level switches are utilized in high pressure, high temperature service conditions. They are designed, constructed and certified to the ASME B31.1 Power Piping code. F E A T U R E S • Choices of chamber materials are carbon steel, stainless steel and chrome-moly • 300 series stainless steel float • Choice of switch mechanism: Dry contact Hermetically sealed • Minimum specific gravity 0.65 • Choice of switch mechanism enclosure: TYPE 4X polymer coated steel TYPE 4X/7/9 Class I, Div. 1, Groups C & D, polymer coated aluminum or cast iron TYPE 4X/7/9 Class I, Div. 1, Group B, polymer coated aluminum or cast iron • Choice of tank connection: 1" butt welds A P P L I C A T I O N S • Accumulators • Receivers 1 1" or 1 ⁄2" socket welds O P T I O N S • ATEX housing • Flanged connections • Temperature extensions • Low specific gravity calibration • Additional QC testing • Flash tanks • Knock-out drums • Storage tanks • Separators • Drip Legs T E C H N O L O G Y B40 level switches employ permanent magnetic force as the link between the float and the switching element. As the pivoted float follows liquid level changes, it moves a magnetic sleeve into or out of the field of a switch actuating magnet causing switch operation. A nonmagnetic barrier tube effectively isolates the switch mechanism from the controlled liquid.

Design calculations, design prints and weld qualifications are available for audit. All chamber branch and circumferential weld joints are designed to achieve FULL penetration. WELDING All welding is performed by qualified welders and per procedures required by the ASME Boiler Pressure Vessel Code Sec. IX. Welds are visually inspected for FULL penetration. All other non-destructive examination is performed per ANSI B31.1. MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION All pressure-retaining materials are procured with Certificates of Conformance to assure compliance of components with required standards. HYDROSTATIC TEST All chambers are hydrostatically tested at 1.5 times the design pressure. 3 B A S I C Voltage 120 VAC 240 VAC 24 VDC 120 VDC 240 VDC E L E C T R I C A L Switch Series and Non-Inductive Ampere Rating F HS R S/AC S/DC 8 C D 15.00 15.00 10.00 1.00 0.50 10.00 — 10.00 10.00 3.00 2.50 — 4.00 0.30 — 5.00 5.00 5.00 0.50 0.25 1.00 1.00 1.00 0.40 — D I M E N S I O N A L I N C H E S R A T I N G S 15.00 15.00 10.00 1.00 0.50 10.00 — 10.00 4.00 3.00 9 1.00 — 3.00 — — — — 0.50 — — S P E C I F I C A T I O N S ( M M ) 5.93 (150) 3.87 (98) Rotation Clearance 8.46 (214) 10.12 Electrical (257) Connection Plug 1 1⁄2" Socket Weld 8.50 (215) 7.19 (182) 4.75 (121) Rising Level 6.62 (168) CL 9.50 (241) 0.50 (13) 0.50 (13) Falling Level Rotation Clearance 7.56 (192) 11/2" Socket Weld Electrical Connection 19.62 (498) 5.93 (150) 3.87 (98) 8.46 (214) 10.12 (257) B40-PC30 Plug Rotation Clearance 11/2" Socket Weld 9.50 (241) 5.93 (150) A 3.87 (98) 6.63 (168) CL 7.19 (132) 5.06 (129) Rising Level 0.50 (13) 0.50 (13) Falling Level 8.46 C (214) 10.12 D (257) Electrical Connection 11/2" Socket Weld 25.63 (651) Plug 1" Socket Weld B40-PC40 and B40-HC40 7.19 (132) 5.56 (141) 4.18 (106) CL 4.15 (105) Rising Level 0.50 (13) 0.50 (13) Falling Level 1" Socket Weld 19.88 (504) B40-PC20 4 8.30 (210) 7.19 (182) 10.56 (268) 10.12 (257) D I M E N S I O N A L I N C H E S S P E C I F I C A T I O N S ( M M ) 5.93 (150) 3.87 (98) Rotation Clearance 8.46 (214) 10.12 (257) Electrical Connection Plug 8.00 (203) 1" Schedule 80 Weldolet 7.19 (182) 3.90 (99) Rising Level CL 0.50 (13) 0.50 (13) 5.56 (141) Falling Level 3.90 (99) 1" Schedule 80 Weldolet 8.18 (208) 20.88 (530) B40-HF30 and B40-PF30 5.93 (150) 8.46 (214) 3.87 (98) Rotation Clearance 10.12 (257) Electrical Connection Plug 8.00 (203) 1" Sockolet 7.19 (182) 4.15 (105) Rising Level CL 0.50 (13) 0.50 (13) 5.56 (141) Falling Level 4.15 (105) 1" Sockolet 8.18 (208) NOTES: 20.88 (530) B40-PB60 and B40-HB60 1.
