Liquid level control

STEEL FABRICATED MODELS

Modulevel series P-60 control
Pneumatic Modulevel® controls are displacement actuated
level sensors. They provide output signals in direct propor-
tion to changes in liquid level.
Simple, modular design and proven magnetic coupling
make Modulevel controls versatile, highly stable, vibration
resistant and adaptable to extremes of temperature and
pressure.

FEATURES
* Standard models handle service temperatures from
-100°C to +370°C (-150°F to +700°F) and pressure to
294 bar (4265 PSIG).
* Stable output signal is unaffected by surface turbu-
lence. Prevents control valve "hunting" and extends
valve life.
* Controller head may be removed and bench calibrated
without dismantling or even depressurizing the tank.
* Accurate output signal provided over a wide specific
gravity range.
* 316 SS displacer and trim.
* Easily field calibrated without moving tank liquid level,
for reduced installation time and cost.
* Controller head rotates 360°, simplifies pneumatic pip-
ing hookup.
* Pilot relay provides a 4 to 1 amplification of pilot pres-
sure signal to speed valve response.
* Built-in visual level indicator is independent of air sup-
ply.
* Optional pneumatic to current interface transducer for
use in electronic control applications.
* Optional proportional plus integral control.
* Optional differential gap (on-off) control.
* Optional Hi-Lo electronic alarm signal provides inexpen-
sive backup alarm.

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