The KSR-mini-bypass-level indicator consists of a chamber as a communicating vessel and is connected to the side of a vessel with two process connections (flanges, threads or welded connection pieces). The level in the chamber corresponds to the level in the vessel.
A cylindrical float with a built-in magnetic system inside the chamber transmits the level of the liquid to an externally fitted KSR-magnetic roller display. As the float moves up or down the bunched field of the permanent magnet pulls the rollers through a rotation of 180° according to the liquid level.
With a rising level, bars change from white to red and red to white when the level falls. This means that at any given time the liquid level in the tank is constantly indicated by a red column without any external power supply.
Technical advantages
* Simple, robust and solid design.
* Pressure and gas-proof separation of the level of aggressive, combustible, toxic, hot and agitated liquids.
* KSR-magnetic roller display without external power supply which guarantees functionality even when there is a power failure.
The unit illustrated on the right of the picture is fitted with the KSR resistive level sensor. This, together with the KSR control unit, provides a proportional analog level signal for connection to a control system.
Level switches are implemented by installing magnetically activated reed switches. These can be used to trigger alarms, etc.

Level Measurement & Control
A municipal utility in eastern Germany operates a state-of-the-art wastewater treatment plant with sustainable sludge treatment. The ultrasonic signal was being partially deflected by the wind, leading to frequent false measurements and inefficient process workflows. The problem was solved by replaced the ultrasonic level sensor with KROHNE’s OPTIWAVE 1540 non-contact radar.

Level Measurement & Control
Measuring the level of crude oil in storage is essential for safe and efficient operations. VEGA offers solutions that effectively address the challenges, ensuring precise and consistent level measurements in crude oil storage facilities. VEGA’s sensors offer reliable data on the volume, level and pressure of all types of media. Accurate level measurement is complicated by crude oil thermal expansion properties, particularly in lighter oil grades.
