Column & Vessel Level
Magnetostrictive and guided wave radar transmitters measure level and interface in columns, reflux drums and separators. Magnetic and reflex level gauges give a local reading, and side-mounted level switches give independent high and low level alarms on vessels and separator packages.

Overpressure Protection
Spring-loaded safety relief valves protect columns and vessels from overpressure. Where a rupture disc sits under a relief valve, a pressure switch in the space between them signals that the disc has burst or is leaking.
