K-Tek safety level measurement package

K-Tek has announced a blend of technologies that reduce risk and increase the safety ratings of level-measurement systems. The company now provides a safety level package that combines redundant systems, independent technologies and a SIL2-certified device. The aim is to provide safer and more reliable products and processes for chemical plants, oil and gas refineries, and power plants.

The company’s enhanced safety level measurement offerings include the AT200 high-accuracy magnetostrictive transmitters that are certified for operation in SIL2 environments. They help reduce risk at the process measurement level when implementing safety instrumented systems in process plant environments. The company’s point level switches, such as the TX thermal dispersion and resonator vibrating forks, offer an independent and redundant form of level detection. All of these can be integrated with the company’s KM26 magnetic level gauge. The MagWave dual chamber level measurement system is designed around a dual chamber enclosure that includes a magnetic level gauge for level indication, based on the specific gravity of the process, and a guided wave radar transmitter for measurements based on dielectric constant.
