Magnetic level gauge
KM26

With over 350,000 installations worldwide, our KM26 magnetic level gauge (MLG) has provided custom engineered solutions to liquid level applications in industries such as: oil and gas, refinery, chemical, petrochemical, power generation and many more. The KM26 MLG has proven itself to be a safe, reliable, maintenance free solution for total and/or interface level detection in toxic, corrosive, high pressure and high temperature processes. 

ABB offers the standard KM26 MLG with a chamber of virtually any non-magnetic material, extruded process connections, a custom engineered float and all accessories with 316 stainless steel construction.

ABB's KM26 MLG is the industry's only level gauge with optional certifications including: PED, ASME (U, UM or S), ATEX constructional safety and IP68 certified hermetically sealed indicator.

Overview

The KM26 Magnetic Level Gauge has provided custom engineered solutions to liquid level applications in industries such as: oil and gas, refinery, chemical, petrochemical, power generation and many more. The KM26 MLG has proven itself to be a safe, reliable, maintenance free solution for total and/or interface level detection in toxic, corrosive, high pressure and high temperature processes.

Features:

  • Highly visible level indication with no process fluid in contact with the glass
  • All construction in-house by code certified welders
  • Float designed and weighted for maximum accuracy with 75 grams minimum upward buoyant force
  • Transmitter and switch options which can be installed, adjusted and maintained with no process interruption
  • Safe for corrosive, flammable, toxic, high-temperature and high-pressure applications
  • Rugged design - low or no maintenance
