Level Measurement

Level Gauges and Level Measurement in Iraq

Magnetic and sight-glass level gauges, radar and ultrasonic level transmitters, differential pressure level transmitters and float switches for storage tanks, separators and process vessels.

Knowing what is in the tank

Level measurement protects against overfilling and dry running, and underpins inventory and process control. The best method depends on the fluid, the vessel and whether you need a local indication, a signal or a switch point.

Al Muzamana supplies level measurement instruments to industrial customers in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region and helps compare the options for a given tank or vessel. Availability of specific models and approvals is confirmed per enquiry.

Range

Types of level measurement

Magnetic level gauges

A float with a magnet drives an external indicator, so the process fluid stays sealed. Common on pressurised vessels and hazardous fluids.

Sight-glass level gauges

Direct visual indication through glass, for clean liquids at moderate pressure and temperature.

Radar level transmitters

Non-contact measurement by radar waves, not affected by density, vapour or temperature changes. Suited to tanks and process vessels.

Ultrasonic level sensors

Non-contact measurement by sound waves, widely used on open tanks, sumps and water applications.

Differential pressure level transmitters

Infer level from hydrostatic pressure, useful on closed vessels when the fluid density is known.

Float level switches

Simple point-level switches for high and low alarms and pump control.

Applications

Where level measurement is used

Storage tanks

Crude, fuel, chemical and water storage, for inventory and overfill protection.

Separators and process vessels

Interface and liquid levels in oil and gas separation, knock-out drums and surge vessels.

Water and wastewater

Reservoirs, sumps and treatment tanks, where ultrasonic and float devices are common.

Chemical dosing tanks

Day tanks and injection skids that must not run dry.

Selection guide

How to select a level device

Contact or non-contact

Non-contact radar and ultrasonic avoid fouling and wear. Magnetic gauges and switches suit applications needing a robust mechanical solution.

Process conditions

Pressure, temperature, vapour, foam, turbulence and density changes decide which technology is reliable.

Indication or signal

A magnetic or sight gauge reads on the vessel. A transmitter sends the level to the control room.

Safety

State if the device is part of an overfill or shutdown system and the hazardous-area classification of the site.

FAQ

Level Gauges & Transmitters: common questions

What level measurement equipment does Al Muzamana supply?

Magnetic and sight-glass level gauges, radar and ultrasonic level transmitters, differential pressure level transmitters and float level switches. We confirm models and approvals per enquiry.

What is the difference between a magnetic level gauge and radar level measurement?

A magnetic level gauge is a mechanical float-and-indicator device mounted on the vessel, with a local reading. Radar is a non-contact electronic method that sends a continuous signal to a control system. Many tanks use both.

Which level device suits a storage tank?

Radar transmitters are common for large tanks, often with a local gauge as backup. The choice depends on the product, tank type and safety requirements.

What do you need to quote a level instrument?

The fluid and its density, tank or vessel dimensions, connection type, pressure and temperature, output signal, hazardous-area classification and quantity.
