As inventors of the reflex glass we retain world market leadership and more experience in level gauge applications than other manufacturer in the world.
They are five type of level gauges in the Klinger range :
  • Reflex glass
  • Transparent glass
  • Bi - colour
  • Magnetic
  • Glass tube

Reflex Gauges
On steam boiler where the pressure does not exceed 32 bar, reflex gauges are the best and most economical solution. In the process industry too, the reflex gauges given the clearest indication, regardless of whether the medium is water clear or coloured.

Transparent Gauges
Transparent gauges are offered for the pressure range up to 120 bar. Transparent gauges on steam boiler are provided with an illuminator to ensure prefect visual indication. If the medium is dirty, viscous on aggressive, flat transparent glasses surface can be protected by mica shields against serious attack by the medium.

Bi-colour Gauges
Klinger have developed bi-colour level gauges for steam pressure up to 180 bar. These give clearest indication possible. Such gauges are used exclusively on steam boilers. Observation can be made by monitoring via-closed-circuit T.V.

The KLINGER liquid level gauges are suitable for virtually all media, pressure up to 400 bar and temperature ranging from -196 C bis +400 C.


The well proven Klinger Magnetic Level Gauge is particularly suitable for duties where dangerous and toxic liquids or gasses are involved and where the following features, benefits and options are required:
  • Immediate and accurate response to level changes, giving clear and sharp legibility
  • Continuous control of liquid level
  • Local and remote display
  • Alarm switching facilities
  • Robust, shockproof and completely sealed for safety
  • No leakage to atmosphere
  • Particularly suitable for dangerous or toxic fluids
  • Ideal for liquid interface applications.
  • Powerful omni-direction magnet system - guide - free float
  • Display can be rotated through 360º irrespective of float position
  • Automatic float warning
  • High pressure capability - up to 157 bar unvented
  • High temperature capability - standard up to 400º C
  • Standard SG range 0.4 - 2.2
  • Unlimited length
  • Top mounted options
  • PTFE / PFA lined, PP and PVDF and uPVC versions
  • Simple to engineer and easy to install
  • Eliminates preventives maintenance
  • An economical alternative to:
    Conventional level gauges and other level measuring systems

Klinger gauge glasses are manufactured from high quality Borosilicate Glass "extra hard" with low thermal expansion co-efficient.

They are especially treated to ensure:

  • Exceptionally high mechanical strength
  • High resistance against thermal shock
  • Resistance against static temperature differential in the glass.

Circular Sight Glasses "extra-hard" borosilicate glass for visual control of chemical and physical processes.
The quality of a sight glass depends mainly on the chemical composition and mechanical strength of the glass material.

Uniform glass quality is maintained through glass analyses and acid / alkali tests. The mechanical strength is attained through thermal pre-stressing. In this procedure the sight glass is brought to a high temperature then quickly cooled - rather as in increases the bending strength and shock resistance of the glass to the values stipulated in the standard.

Optical control of the prestressing is carried out with the aid of a polarization filter: the stress lines are made visible at the edge of the sight glass as interference colours. Glass which has not been thermally pre-stressed shows no stress lines and has much lower mechanical strength.

Shut-off Fittings for Liquid Level Gauges
The shut-off fittings play a major role in the operating safety and functioning of gauges. Even the first KLINGER liquid level gauge was equipped with a quick and reliableshut-off fitting, made in the company's own production facilities.

Drain cocks are a standard are a standard equipment of the shut-off units. Both, gauge cocks and gauge valves may be retightened without difficulty.
