Reflex type level gauge working principle
Reflex level gauges are designed to detect the difference in refractive indices of vapor and liquid and level detection and can be used in a number of process applications. Reflex level gauges are commonly used for level detection within a specific vessel, and the primary principle is based on the difference in refractive indices of vapor and liquid.There is a clear image of water levels on reflex gauges.

Advantages of Reflex Level Gauges
The most advantage of this type is for easy reading of boiling liquids. When liquid boils, the bubbling makes the surface level indistinguishable. Due to the seamless pipe construction of the body, this type of reflex level gauge is also suitable for highly dense and viscous liquids. The bubbles will be reduced if the liquid chamber has a larger volume.
Observing the level of liquid in a conventional level gauge at extremely low temperatures becomes difficult if the gauge front tends to freeze. To get rid of this problem, the acrylic non-frosting plate window is mounted in front of the reflex level gauge to make it much easier to see the level.
Usually called a jacket gauge, this type is used to measure the level of high congealable liquids. In order to ensure accurate and reliable level measurement, steam is infused through the inside of the jacket for congealable liquids and cold water for ebullient liquids. As a result of heating or cooling the fluid through a jacket according to its characteristics, this type is used to observe the fluid by changing it into a liquid state.
With a reflex level gauge manufacturer that has specialized expertise in manufacturing level gauges, you can rest assured that you will enjoy optimal performance and reliability.
