Level Gauges & Indicators
Not every level reading needs to travel to a control room. Sometimes the person who needs it is standing right next to the tank: an operator about to start a transfer, a driver waiting to unload, or a technician deciding whether to top up. For them, the most useful instrument is one that simply shows the level, clearly and honestly, with no screen to boot up.
That’s the role of a level gauge or indicator, and it’s a core part of what we make at Levtron Instrument Pvt. Ltd. in Pune. Our range includes the Magnetic Level Gauge & Indicator (LMLT-2100LT) and the Float & Board Level Indicator (FBLI-2400L), so you can choose the style that suits your tank, your liquid and the way your team works.
What Is a Level Gauge & Indicator?
A level gauge or indicator is an instrument that shows the level of liquid in a tank, vessel or drum right where you can see it. Unlike a transmitter, which sends a signal to a control system, an indicator is meant to be read on the spot, by eye.
Two styles are common. In a magnetic level gauge, a float with a magnet moves inside a sealed chamber and flips coloured flags on the outside. In a float and board indicator, a float on the liquid is linked to a pointer that travels along a scale board fixed to the tank, so the level reads straight off the board.
Why Choose Level Gauges & Indicators From Levtron?
A gauge sits beside a tank for many years, so it pays to choose carefully. Here’s what buyers tend to like about working with us:
- Two proven styles: The magnetic gauge LMLT-2100LT and the float and board indicator FBLI-2400L cover very different tanks and preferences.
- Made for your tank: Our instruments are designed as per application requirements, so size and fittings can be matched to your vessel.
- Quality checks at several stages: Products go through quality and performance testing at various levels before they reach you.
- A complete level range: Alongside gauges, we make level switches and transmitters, so you can add alarms or remote readings to the same tank later.
- Round-the-clock support: Our team provides remote support at any hour, so a question doesn’t wait until Monday.
Applications of Level Gauges & Indicators
Any plant that stores liquid in tanks or vessels can use a level gauge or indicator. Here are the common cases:
- Chemical and process plants: Reactors, day tanks and storage vessels often hold corrosive or hazardous liquids. A sealed gauge shows the level without exposing anyone to the process.
- Fuel, oil and petrochemical storage: Tanks of fuel and oil need a clear local reading for dispatch and stock checks. A bright indicator can be read from a distance, even in poor light.
- Large storage tanks: Big atmospheric tanks suit a float and board indicator, which shows the level on a large scale. Drivers and operators can read it from the ground.
- Boilers and power plants: Condensate and feedwater tanks run hot and need a reliable local reading. A magnetic gauge copes with these conditions better than ordinary glass.
- Water and wastewater treatment: Chemical dosing tanks and storage tanks need a simple local indication. The gauge keeps showing level even if the power fails.
- Food, beverage and general industry: Process and utility tanks all benefit from a clear visual check. It’s a simple upgrade over sight glasses that cloud over time.
Wherever liquid is stored, a good gauge or indicator gives your team a reading they can trust at a glance.
Salient Features of Level Gauges & Indicators
Here’s what you can expect from our gauges and indicators:
- Magnetic float and flag indication: On the LMLT-2100LT, a magnet in the float flips bi-colour flags outside the sealed chamber. The level shows as a sharp colour change you can read quickly.
- Float and board scale: On the FBLI-2400L, a pointer moves along a scale board as the float rises and falls. The level reads directly, with no electronics involved.
- No power needed: Both styles show the level mechanically or magnetically, so they keep working through power cuts.
- No glass in contact with the process: Sealed construction keeps the process liquid away from fragile parts. That reduces breakage, leaks and clean-up.
- Room to add switches or a transmitter: A magnetic gauge can be paired with level switches or a transmitter for alarms and remote readings. You can start simple and add monitoring later.
All of this adds up to gauges that are simple to read and don’t need constant attention.
Benefits of Level Gauges & Indicators
Here’s what changes once your tanks have a proper local level indicator:
- A clear reading at any time: Anyone near the tank can see the level at a glance. There’s no guesswork and no climbing up for a look.
- Safer plant: With no fragile glass holding the liquid, there’s less chance of leaks and spills. That protects your people and your site.
- Less maintenance: Simple mechanical and magnetic designs have few parts to wear out. That means fewer shutdowns for gauge repairs.
- Dependable in a power failure: Because they need no power, indicators keep working when everything else stops. That’s useful for tanks you can’t afford to lose track of.
- Cost-effective monitoring: For local indication, a gauge is a sensible, economical choice. You pay for what you need, and add more only when you want it.
For most plants the biggest gain is simple: you stop guessing the level and start seeing it.
