Soon, they will be making a long trip by sea: from Rotterdam, via Singapore to Australia: 17 ‘Magnetic Operated Level Gauges’ From Intra Automation, with Honeywell’s transmitters. An excellent piece of custom work developed for the process industry.
100% Customised work
Kees Bakker, Sales Manager of De Gidts & Feldman (right): “These are truly ‘engineered solutions’. Based on the specific data from our customer, the instruments are meticulously calculated and compiled. We take all kinds of factors into account: mechanical properties of the process vessel on which the level transmitters are mounted, design pressure, temperature and density of the process fluid.”
Sales Engineer Steven Janssen (left) adds: “The float, with the magnet that transfers the level to the indication rail and the transmitter, is also carefully selected. It has been specifically made for a certain specific gravity, of the right material and strong enough to withstand the pressure.”
Variant of the PED-standardization
This project offered us a special challenge. Kees: “Due to the final destination, the instruments must comply with AS3920, an Australian variant of the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED). We are able to give off that guarantee.”
