With the help of pressure and level monitoring devices, granular and powdery substances stored in bunkers, warehouses or silos can be easily monitored. These level indicators and pressure safety valves are available in various designs depending on requirements. So what types of pressure and level indicators are there? What are pressure and level indicators and what do they do?
What are Pressure and Level Indicators? What do they do?
Both pressure gauges and level gauges fulfil different requirements. For example, Wam pressure valves and electronic pressure gauges immediately report excess pressure in the tanks or silos when filling and emptying tankers, as they contain diaphragm switches. This prevents any problems from occurring.
There are three different types of level indicators, which are another important component: ILT silo level indicators with flag, ILV silo level indicators with vibration and ILS rope/strip level measuring system. These WAM level indicators meet the following requirements:
ILT silo level indicators are used in silos, warehouses or bunkers. They contain flag-type rotary sensors that convert minimum and maximum fill levels into electronic signals.
ILV silo level indicators make it possible to monitor the fill level of granular or powdery materials in warehouses or silos.
Continuous level measuring systems ILS are used for the continuous measurement of powdery or granular materials stored in silos or containers.
All these explanations answer the question "What are pressure and level measuring devices used for?" If you would like information about the models of WAM pressure and level gauges and a quote for WAM pressure and level gauges, please contact Vordes Engineering.
Features of the Pressure Gauges
There are two different product options in the pressure gauge category: Pressure Valves and Electronic Pressure Gauges. The common features of WAM pressure valves and WAM electronic pressure gauges are as follows:
Operating temperature between -10 and +40 degrees,
Microswitch,
Preset operating pressure,
Durable diaphragm,
Ignition switch.
The answer to the question "How do the WAM pressure and level indicators work?" can be found on the Vordes Engineering product page.

Features of Level Indicators
As with pressure indicators, the answer to the question "Where are level indicators used?" is: in bunkers, warehouses and silos where powder and granules are stored. The features of level indicators can be broken down as follows:
Silo level indicator type ILT Flag
This easy-to-install and economical WAM level indicator has a very good design. The contact parts are made of stainless steel. The product offers various process connections and is suitable for low or high process temperatures. ATEX certification is also available.
ILV vibration type silo level indicator
This WAM level indicator is suitable for granular or powdery bulk solids and is made of stainless steel, including yoke and fittings. This prevents contamination of the product. It is not only maintenance-free, but also extremely easy to install and replace.
Continuous level measuring system type ILS Rope/Strip
The continuous level measuring system from WAM, which has intelligent monitoring, enables the measurement to be controlled by a microprocessor. It also offers various measuring weights suitable for every application. It has an internal belt cleaner for very difficult materials. It is completely insensitive to the conductivity of the bulk material, dust in the silo, materials that tend to stick and changes in the moisture content of the bulk materials.
Vordes Engineering, which develops solutions for the needs of different sectors, meets the requirements as an authorised distributor of WAM pressure and level indicators. You can contact Vordes Engineering for detailed information on the prices of pressure and level indicators or the Vordes Engineering product range.
