TRANSPARENT LEVEL GAUGES
Level gauges or Level indicators are devices used in the measurement of
fluids level in various industrial process applications.
They are composed of one or more opposed pairs of smooth borosilicate
glass lcrystall that are tightened inside a square steel box. The fluid oscillates
freely in between the glasses, indicating accurately its level in the tank or
vessel.
In heavy-duty applications, the glass is protected by means of a mica shield
or polytrifluorochloroethylene shield, from the corrosive action of the
process fluid. This however reduces the reading transparency and to
remedy to this phenomenon, special illuminators are used.
APPLICATIONS AND TECHNICAL DATA:
COLVES transparent level indicators are widely used in oil & gas, chemical,
petrochemical and fertilizer industries.
As the process fluid is usually stored at high pressure and temperature, the
transparent Level indicator is a very practical device to determine accurately
the fluid level in tan ks, boilers, coLumns or vessels.
COLVES standard models are supplied with body and wetted parts in
galvanized carbon steel, but AISI 316 or any other material grades are
available upon customer request, depending on the application and/or the
process fluid concerned.
The standard ratings of the body are as follows:
- PN 40 lmod. TBC)
- PN 64 lmod. TMCJ
OPTIONS:
• Safety ball supplied with pusher (to avoid any fluid leakage in case of
glass breakage)
• Aluminium graduated scale
• Drain and vent valves
• Side connections
• Illumination lamp with Lighting diffuser in plexiglas (max. temp. 150 °C)
or pyrex glass (max. temp. 320 °CI

REFLEX LEVEL GAUGES
Level gauges or level indicators are devices used in the measurement
of fluids Level in various industrial process applications.
They are composed of one or more borosilicate glass (crystal) that are
tightened inside a square steel box.
In heavy-duty applications, the glass is protected by means of a mica
shield or polytrifluorochloroethylene shield, from the corrosive action
of the process fluid, reducing the reading.
APPLICATIONS AND TECHNICAL DATA:
COLVES reflex level indicators are widely used in oil & gas, chemical,
petrochemical and fertilizer industries.
As the process fluid is usually stored at high pressure and temperature,
the reflex level indicator is a very practical device to determine
accurately the fluid level in tanks, boilers, columns or vessels.
COLVES standard models are supplied with body and wetted parts in
galvanized carbon steel, but AISI 316 or any other material grades are
available upon customer request depending on the application and/or
process fluid concerned.
The standard rating s of the body are as follows:
- PN 40 (mod. RBCJ
- PN 64 (mod. RMC)
OPTIONS:
• Safety ball complete with pusher (to avoid any fluid Leakage in case
of glass breakage).
• Aluminium graduated scale.
•
Drain and vent valves.
• Side connections.

COCKS FOR LEVEL GAUGES
The NX type cock gauges are connected directly to the level gauge body through smooth nipples. The
sealing is assured thanks to a graphite packing sleeve and by tightening the cap.
The NY type cock gauges are connected directly to the level gauge body through screwed nipples.
The upper cock gauge is supplied with a plugged vent. The lower cock gauge can be supplied with a 1/4"
turn drain valve when requested and complete with a plug.
Upon request, the 1/4" turn cock gauges can be equipped with a stainless steel safety ball to avoid
leakage in case of glass breakage. The lever cock handles can be positioned as RIGHT or LEFT hand
position. By default, the cock handles will be supplied as right hand position.
