Level Measurement & Control


ABB’s new liquid level gauge

September 2014 Level Measurement & Control

ABB has introduced the new LMG100 Econolev magnetic liquid level gauge, designed to address the needs of the small storage tank and OEM market. The LMG100 provides armoured local level indication in a simple, low cost magnetic gauge design. It is rated to 1900 kPA at 90°C and is available in either carbon steel or 316 stainless steel with side process connections.

An optional AT600 magneto-strictive transmitter can be mounted directly to the gauge to allow continuous level measurement transmission via a 4-20 mA signal. MLG switches can also be added to provide safety control. Other benefits include:

* Non custom, simple design with easy installation.

* Many components shared with proven KM26 MLG design.

* Safer than glass type level gauges.

* Light weight, allows mounting on plastic tanks.

* Polycarbonate tubing indicator resists breakage.

Applications in the upstream O&G market include small slop oil tanks, chemical injection storage tanks, diesel storage tanks and water storage tanks.

The simplicity and lower cost of the Econolev allow the use of a safer MLG level gauge design which is easy to read and offers the option of a transmitter output.
