Our range of bypass level indicators are simple, rugged devices designed to indicate or transmit the level of liquids. They indicate level using a float magnetically coupled to a column of rotating flaps. Bistable switches can be attached to the measuring tube to detect level.

The Basic version is ideal for measuring liquids with a density ≥0.75 g/cm³ / ≥46.8 lb/ft³, temperatures up to 150°C / 300°F or pressures up to 16 bar / 232 psig. Level can also be transmitted via an ER analog transmitter.

The Advanced version is ideal for measuring liquids with density range of 0.54 to 2.0 g/cm³ / 33.7 to 124.8 lb/ft³, temperatures up to 300°C / 570°F or pressures up to 40 bar / 580 psi. Level can also be transmitted via an ER analog transmitter or Radar/TDR level transmitters.

Highlights

• Stainless steel design (including indicator rail)

• Proven technology

• Less risk of leakage than a sight glass - little or no maintenance needed

• Easy to install

• No power required - permanent local indication

• Indicator is isolated from process (magnetically-coupled)

• Conforms to the latest European construction standards (NACE as an option)

• Optional approvals for Ex i applications pending

• Optimal construction: weight is kept to the minimum

Bypass level indicators for a complete range of applications

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn BM 26 BASIC/ADVANCED

BM 26 Basic

The bypass chamber of the BM 26 Basic has an optimized volume/pressure ratio. It is unnecessary to test the bypass chamber according to PED 97/23/EC as the CE marking is not required. The device has a maximum operating pressure of 16 bar /232 psig.

The bypass chamber has a diameter of 42 mm / 1.7" and the same high-quality stainless steel indicator rail that has been built for over 30 years by KROHNE. No compromises have been made on quality: we have only optimized the weight so that we can offer this device at a competitive price.

BM 26 Advanced

The BM 26 Advanced has been designed to replace our existing BM 26 A for applications up to 40 bar / 580 psig. It is built with the same tube used in the BM 26 Basic design, thereby providing a more economical solution. This device can be built with a top inline flange for attaching a level transmitter. Alternatively, the BM 26 Basic and BM 26 Advanced can be equipped with our popular reed-chain level transmitter which is attached to the side of the tube and does not come into contact with the liquid.

BM 26 A

For sites requiring installation in areas with little space under the bottom process connection, we recommend the BM 26 A. The BM 26 A is also ideal for measuring LPG and LNG. It operates in densities from 0.5 to 3 g/cm³ / 31 to 187 lb/ft³, temperatures from -200...+300°C / -325...+570°F and pressures up to 120 bar / 1740 psig.

LCD Indicator for the ER analog transmitter

The non-Ex or Ex ia versions of the ER analog transmitter can also be equipped with an optional LCD in a housing at either the top or the bottom of the reed chain. There is a choice of units: mm, inches or %. The units can be configured on site (mm, inches and % stickers are supplied with this option).

Universal power supply for the ER analog transmitter

An optional non-Ex 20...75 VDC power supply is also available. There are 2 options:

• 2 relays and a 4-digit local indicator (loop-powered), for panel mount

• 2 relays with a 4...20 mA and a 4-digit local indicator (loop-powered), for panel mount

Anti-mist cover for the indicator column

An optional anti-mist cover made of Plexiglas® is available for the glass indicator column. This is suitable for devices that have to operate in an ambient temperature range of -40...-20°C / -40...-4°F.

An example of a typical industrial application

Level indication on large tanks often involves acomplex arrangement of devices set up to indicatelevel and provide an analogue output.

1. Small bypass or displacer-type switches in high-high, high, low, low-low and float failure posi-tions.

2. Sight glass3. Bypass chamber with analog output4. Tank

KROHNE's all-in-one equivalent using the BM 26

The BM 26 is a bypass level indicator that provides you with an all-in-one alternative. You only need one BM 26 to read level locally or remotely, integrate the instrument into a network and receive alarms at critical points (tank full, float faliure etc).

1. Limit switches in high-high, high, low, low-low and float failure positions. The user can adjust these positions on-site.

2. Bypass level indicator (magnetic)3. ER transmitter with analog or network output4. Tank

Offset of the magnets relative to the liquid level

The float contains magnets that rotate the flaps in the indicator column on the side of the measuring chamber. The position of the magnets does not correspond to the level of liquid so the scale is offset at the factory to take into account this difference. The offset of the magnets depends on the liquid density. Refer to the illustration that follows:

Magnet offset

1 True level of the liquid2 Centreline of the Float magnet (which corresponds to the level shown on the indicator column)3 Difference (offset) between the true level of the liquid and the centreline of the float magnet (depends on the liquid density)4 Indicator column of yellow/black rotating flaps (with the optional scale)

INFORMATION!The limit switches are not delivered attached to the instrument and the offset must be taken into account. Refer to the Handbook for information on how to position limit switches.
