Pneumatic and APM

Liquid Level Control

Modulevel pneumatic liquid level controls are displacement

actuated level sensors that provide output signals in direct
proportion to changes in liquid level.
Simple modular design and the Magnetrol proven magnetic
coupling make Modulevel controls versatile, highly stable,
vibration resistant and adaptable to extremes in tempera-
ture and pressure.

Features • 316 SS displacer and

• Standard models handle
service temperatures
from -150 to +700 °F
(-101 to +371 °C) and
pressure to 4265 PSIG
(318 Bar).
• Stable output signal is
unaffected by surface
turbulence. Prevents
control valve “hunting”
and extends valve life.
• Controller head may be
removed without disturb-
ing pressure boundary.
Permits service or replace-
ment without shutdown
of process.
• Simple calibration prior
to installation, by substi-
tuting weights for displacer
or by controller head cali-
bration with displacer.
• Accurate output signal
provided over a wide
specific gravity range.
• Controller head rotates
360°, simplifies pneumatic
piping hookup.

Applications
Modulevel pneumatic liquid level controls are widely used
in utility power generation, chemical and petroleum pro-
cessing operations, such as:
• Steam generator feedwater • Vent gas scrubber level
heater regulation control
• Fractionating column level • Drip pot condensate level
transmitter control
• Ethanolamine level • Flash tank level
