Magnetrol Vizual and Atlas magnetic level indicators

Posted: 24 October 2003

Vizual and Atlas are 2 separate Magnetic Level Indicator product designs of Magnetrol International — each built to serve different needs. Vizual is a basic, robust and low cost level gauge series, while Atlas is the ultimate complete product offer allowing custom made features.

Magnetrol’s decision to split the existing MLI offer into 2 separate designs is inspired by a long tradition in building mechanic controls and the knowledge that a flexible design can not be built economically.

Vizual units have basic features but are precision engineered and manufactured to guarantee a long lifetime.

The use of standard material and dimensions is the basis of the Vizual design. The standard 2” gauge is made of 316/316L (1.4401/1.4404) and incorporates a 316 TI (1.4571) float with ring magnet. The indication rail can be either in polycarbonate with rollers or aluminium with stainless steel flags.

The unique rail design (click on system) allows the mounting of a polyester scale, bi-stable DPDT micro switch / reed switch or transmitter options without the need for straps. Vizual is designed for operating conditions up to 90 bar (600lbs rating)/ +280°C.

Atlas gauges are almost not limited by design criteria to meet the customers’ specifications. A wide choice of metal alloys and plastics are standard available. Atlas cages can be either 2”, 2,5” or 3” following density/pressure rating.

Atlas gauges are standard equipped with an inert gas filled indication rail to eliminate the possibility of condensation inside the rail.

Magnetrol has designed a float with a flux system, containing precisely aligned vertical magnets to reach a higher magnetic coupling between the float’s magnet and the indication rail / external mount output devices such as switches and transmitters. Atlas floats are designed following the operating conditions. These conditions can mount up to 310 bar (2500 lbs rating) / +540°C.

Vizual and Atlas maintain high quality standards. Float designs are sealed (non vented nor gas filled), cage construction is per Magnetrol’s standard in compliance with PED regulations and safety approvals on output devices include ATEX intrinsically safe and explosion proof.

Both Vizual and Atlas units are produced at Magnetrol Zele in Belgium.
