Specifications

SKU: KM26 magnetic level gauge

Technical: With over 350,000 installations worldwide,our KM26 magnetic level gauge (MLG) has provided custom engineered solutions to liquid level applications in industries such as: oil and gas, refinery, chemical, petrochemical, power generation and many more. The KM26 MLG has proven itself to bea safe, reliable, maintenance free solution for total and/or interface level detection in toxic, corrosive, high pressure and high temperature processes.

ABB offers the standard KM26 MLG with a chamber of virtually any non-magnetic material, extruded process connections, a custom engineered float and all accessories with 316 stainless steel construction.

ABB's KM26 MLG is the industry's only level gauge with optional certifications including:PED, ASME (U, UM or S), ATEX constructional safetyand IP68 certified hermetically sealed indicator.

Overview

The KM26 Magnetic Level Gauge has provided custom engineered solutions to liquid level applications in industries such as: oil and gas, refinery, chemical, petrochemical, power generation and many more. The KM26 MLG has proven itself to be a safe, reliable, maintenance free solution for total and/or interface level detection in toxic, corrosive, high pressure and high temperature processes.

Features:

Highly visible level indication with no process fluid in contact with the glass
All construction in-house by code certified welders
Float designed and weighted for maximum accuracy with 75 grams minimum upward buoyant force
Transmitter and switch options which can be installed, adjusted and maintained with no process interruption
Safe for corrosive, flammable, toxic, high-temperature and high-pressure applications
Rugged design - low or no maintenance

Magnetic Level Gauge Switches

ABB's magnetic level gauge switches for point level alarm and/or control can mount to a KM26 magnetic level gauge or an LS Series cage level switch.

These switches are completely isolated from the process fluid as they are magnetically activated by a magnet equipped float (KM26) or attraction sleeve (LS Series). The unique magnetic coupling action eliminates seals, diaphragms, springs, and torque tubes common to other level switching alternatives since there is no physical contact with the process fluid. The magnetic coupling also eliminates process connections to the switch; therefore, no isolation valves are required to block off the switch for maintenance. The switch "set point" is easily adjustable without changing any process piping and the result is a more reliable and easier way to maintain level system.
