It's ideal for use in shale oil and gas fields. There are currently hundreds of NIVOSWITCH, from NIVELCO, in use in the United States in field production tanks, condensate tanks, separators, and more. This level switch can install vertically or horizontally and can perform as either a high-level switch or a low-level switch. \u003ca title=\"API Association\" href=\"https:\/\/www.api.org\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAPI\u003c\/a\u003e recommended practice states that unmanned facilities should be instrumented with both a continuous level transmitter, as well as a high level shut off switch to prevent overfill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eno moving parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eself-cleaning in most mediums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003estainless steel and plastic-coated probes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epipe extension up to 10 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003evarious output configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehigh or low fail-safe mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eplastic, aluminum, or stainless steel housing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eexplosion-proof variants available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efor corrosive, thick, turbulent, and flowing liquids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emedium pressure: up to 580 psig\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 year warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"nv-product-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"ng-scope\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"ng-binding\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSupply Voltage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"ng-binding\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e20-255 V AC, 20-60 V DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"ng-scope\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"ng-binding\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAmbient Temperature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"ng-binding\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e−40 to 158˚F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"ng-scope\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"ng-binding\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eProcess Temperature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"ng-binding\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e−40 to 266˚F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"ng-scope\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"ng-binding\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eProcess Pressure\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"ng-binding\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003emaximum 580 psig\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"ng-scope\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"ng-binding\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eOutput\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"ng-binding\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e1 or 2 relays (SPDT), 2-wire AC \/ DC, transistor (PNP, NPN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"ng-scope\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"ng-binding\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eProcess Connection\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"ng-binding\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e1\", 1½\", 2\" or flanges or hygienic fittings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"ng-scope\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"ng-binding\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"IP Rating For Industrial Instrumentation\" href=\"https:\/\/psctexas.com\/ip-rating-for-industrial-instrumentation\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eIngress Protection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"ng-binding\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eIP67, IP68, IP65\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"ng-scope\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"ng-binding\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eApprovals\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"ng-binding\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eATEX, IEC Ex, DNV (Marine), UKCA Ex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNIVOSWITCH Vibrating Fork Level Switch for Shale Oil and Gas Fields\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNIVELCO NIVOSWITCH R−400\/500 vibrating fork level switches with a parallel vibrating fork are suitable for detecting the level of liquids. Mounting on pipes and tanks, it can control filling and emptying and can also generate fail-safe alarms providing overfill or dry-run protection. The operating principle is based on that the electronic circuit excites a vibration in the fork probe. When the medium reaches and covers the fork, its vibration changes. The fork will start vibrating freely again as the medium sets it free. Its electronics sense the change of vibration and give an output signal after a selected delay. The plastic-coated version is ideal for use in aggressive media, and the high polish version is ideal for use in abrasive media.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\"\u003ePNP\/NPN transistor output versions can connect directly to a PLC or relay unit. Certain types of NIVOSWITCH vibrating forks are able to solve switching tasks of high-current loads with the help of UNICONT PKK switching amplifiers.
