Tecfluid LT-R153 – Magnetic Level Transmitter with Switch

Description

Overview

The Tecfluid LT-R153 is a bypass magnetic level transmitter with an integrated switch, part of Tecfluid’s Series LT magnetic level gauge range. It combines continuous 4–20mA level output with a built-in switch function in a single instrument, letting a facility get both continuous level monitoring and a discrete high/low alarm point without installing two separate devices on the same vessel.

As a member of Tecfluid’s established bypass chamber level indicator family, the LT-R153 is built for liquid level applications where a direct-insertion probe isn’t practical or where visual indication alongside electronic output is valuable. Seven Star LLC supplies the Tecfluid LT-R153 as an authorized Tecfluid instrumentation partner to process and storage facilities across Oman and the GCC.

Operating Principle

The LT-R153 uses a magnetic float inside a bypass chamber connected to the vessel at two points; as liquid level changes, the float rises and falls with it, and its internal magnet couples through the chamber wall to both the visual indicator flags (in the Series LT gauge tradition) and to a magnetostrictive or reed-based transmitter element that generates a continuous 4–20mA signal. The integrated switch trips at a factory- or field-set level, providing a discrete alarm or interlock signal independent of the continuous output.

Engineering Design of the Tecfluid LT-R153

Across the Series LT range that the LT-R153 belongs to, measurement spans from 150mm up to 15m depending on configuration, with a continuous output accuracy of ±10mm via the LTE or LTDR transmitter option. Process connections are available as EN 1092-1/ASME B16.5 flanges or BSP/NPT threaded fittings, with pressure ratings from PN10 to PN40 depending on materials selected. Float materials span EN 1.4404 stainless steel, titanium, and various plastics (PVC, PP, PVDF, PTFE) to match the process fluid’s chemical compatibility requirements.

Key Features

  • Combined continuous level transmitter and discrete switch in one instrument
  • Bypass chamber magnetic float design
  • 4–20mA continuous output, ±10mm accuracy
  • Measurement span from 150mm to 15m (series range)
  • Flanged (EN 1092-1/ASME B16.5) or threaded (BSP/NPT) connections
  • Pressure ratings PN10 to PN40
  • Float material options: stainless steel, titanium, PVC, PP, PVDF, PTFE
  • Visual level indication alongside electronic output

Industrial Applications

The LT-R153 is specified for storage tank and process vessel level monitoring across Muscat, Sohar, and Salalah, where a combined transmitter-plus-switch instrument simplifies installation compared with fitting a separate transmitter and a separate switch on the same vessel. Its bypass chamber design also provides a visual reference alongside the electronic signal, useful for local operator checks.

Across the GCC’s process, chemical, and storage terminal sectors, the LT-R153’s material options make it adaptable to a wide range of stored liquids, from water and light hydrocarbons to more chemically aggressive fluids requiring PTFE or titanium float construction, while its combined output/switch function reduces the instrument count needed per tank.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does magnetic level measurement differ from capacitive or radar methods?
Magnetic level transmitters rely on magnetic coupling and a float, which eliminates direct contact between electronics and process fluid — offering superior leak resistance and simpler maintenance.
Can the LT-R153 handle corrosive liquids?
Yes — with appropriate material selection (e.g., 316L, PVDF, PTFE), it can measure levels in corrosive and hazardous fluids.
Is this suitable for high-pressure tanks?
Yes — with DN50 PN40 flange connections, the transmitter is designed for pressurized systems.
Can it connect to automation systems?
Yes — switch contacts and optional analog/digital outputs allow integration into PLC, SCADA, and control loops.
Does it support explosion-proof installation?
Explosion-protected variants are available (e.g., Ex d II C T4) for hazardous locations.
