- Available NACE construction on mechanical units
Flow Transmitters
Flow measurement is possible using differential pressure transmitters. These come in both compact and traditional designs, offering either standard analog outputs or digital communication options like HART or Modbus.
Level
Level
Magnetic Level Indicators
The SOR® 1100 series magnetic level indicators offer an alternative to standard sight glasses. In these indicators, the vessel contents remain fully inside the float chamber, making them suitable for high-pressure systems. The system can seamlessly integrate external point level switches or continuous level transmitters, like guided wave radar or magnetostrictive level transmitters, without affecting the pressure boundary or altering existing piping. Applications encompass:
- Oil/water separators
- Flash drums
- Surge tanks
- Gas chillers
- Vacuum tower bottoms
- Alkylation units
- Propane vessels
- And storage tanks
Switches
SOR level switches stand out for longevity and high-quality performance in even the most demanding applications. Fastidiously constructed, each float level switch matches the specific requirements of various processes. The switches are available as both float level and displacer level types, offering excellent alarm and monitoring control. They are commonly used in heavy industries, including power generation, refining, petrochemical, and general manufacturing, ensuring seamless and reliable operation. Other features include:
- Rugged, industrial-level switches specifically designed for the versatility of application
- Stainless steel switching mechanisms—no aluminium or brass
- High-pressure capability
- Wide variety of agency approvals
- Customised to meet your specific requirements
- Versatile switching mechanisms for retro-fit situations
- Extreme temperature models available
Level Transmitters
SOR level transmitters constantly track the amount of liquid in tanks and send a 4-20 mA signal based on that level. This signal can be connected to computers or remote displays for easy reading and control. Some models can check the level without touching the liquid. They can be set up to measure either specific points or the continuous level of the liquid, adding to their flexibility in various applications. Other features include:
- Rugged, industrial quality transmitters designed to be versatile
- Models to handle all processes from liquids to solids
- Excellent performance in harsh conditions
