Bypass level indicators type BNA

Level indicator without power – robust, precise, for extreme conditions

Data sheet

Product information

The bypass level indicator type BNA from WIKA offers a continuous, height-proportional level indication without auxiliary energy. Thanks to its robust design and corrosion-resistant materials, it is ideal for use in extreme process conditions such as high temperatures, aggressive media and high pressures.

Special features

  • Continuous level indicator without power supply
  • Magnetic display proportional to height
  • Robust, unbreakable construction for a long service life
  • Pressure- and gas-tight separation between measuring and display chamber
  • Optional: magnetic switch and level transmitter
  • Explosion-proof versions available (ATEX, IECEx)

Advantages

  • Energy-independent: Works without an external power source
  • High level of safety: Suitable for aggressive, flammable and toxic media
  • Flexible: Large selection of process connections and materials
  • Reliable: Insensitive to foaming, vapors and bubble formation
  • Individual: special designs for food, heating jacket or inner coating
