Reflex Level Gauge

Reflex level gauges allow the medium to be viewed through a reflex glass: The side of the glass exposed to the medium has a prismatic surface, while the other side is smooth. The medium level inside the level gauge is indicated by means of the light refraction principle, i.e.  the liquid-filled area completely absorbs the rays of light and appears dark, while the rays of light are fully reflected in the gas / air-filled area, which subsequently appears bright.

Reflex level gauges offer great advantages in terms of low purchase and maintenance costs as well as with regard to easy level reading. However, they cannot be used in certain cases, for example when the separation level between two liquids has to be read, when discerning the liquid color is required or when high-pressure water steam has to be measured.

A105 and SS 316L are utilized as standard materials - alloy or other materials are available on demand.

KLINGER Reflex gauge glasses

The side facing the media chamber is provided with moulded grooves set at 90° angle. The moulding process increases the resistance of the glass grooves to wear; the skin which the glass attains during moulding gives it maximum smoothness and hardness. This makes it extremely resistant to the attack of boiler water.

Application of Reflex glasses

Up to 35 bar saturated steam, reflex glasses provide the optimum solution: The reflex glasses are corrosion resistant and provide an absolutely clear indication. Reflex glasses can be used with all media except steam at the service conditions up to 400 bar pressure or up to +400°C.

Types of Reflex glasses

KLINGER Reflex glasses are available in three different types: A, B and H.
