How does cold weather affect the Magnetic level gauge ?

Low temperature will adversely affect the tensile toughness of many commonly used materials in the engineering field. To Tensile toughness is a measure of material brittleness or ductility (the tendency to deform before fracturing); it is usually estimated by calculating the area under the stress-strain curve.

Ductility materials-these materials will absorb a large amount of impact energy before fracturing, resulting in deformation.

Brittle materials-on the other hand, brittle materials tend to break when impacted. To

Generally, materials with high ductility and high strength have good tensile toughness. However, depending on the material, the tensile toughness is very sensitive to temperature changes.

The cold weather temperature will have a negative impact on the safe working ability of the Magnetic level gauge and heavy lifting equipment. If the temperature drops below a certain point, the steel in these devices will undergo a change from toughness to brittleness.

This transition is called the "ductility-brittle transition" temperature (DBTT), the "zero ductility transition" temperature, or the "15 ft * lb transition" temperature. This transition occurs at a different temperature from material to material. To

What steel can be used to reduce the effects of cold weather?

According to the ASTM A514 standard, QT-100 is a high-strength steel plate with excellent low-temperature properties-although it is not recommended for structural applications below -46ºC because it may become very brittle.

Due to its excellent low temperature performance, some engineering companies are using this material to manufacture equipment designed for low temperature. Compared with other steel, steel has the characteristics of quenching and tempering process, and has higher strength and flexibility.

What should be considered when working at freezing temperatures?

Although engineers have found a way to make steel safer at low temperatures, it is still very important to take safety precautions when operating magnetic flap level gauges and heavy lifting equipment under freezing conditions. To

Most engineers usually specify the minimum operating temperature as -20°C because it is simple and cost-effective. However, it is possible to use many devices at lower temperatures than this.

Switching to quenched and tempered steel can provide you with a magnetic level gauge that can operate at -40°C. However, many companies are using equipment that has a -20°C rating at -30°C or lower. This means that they are fully responsible for doing so and cannot predict the mode of failure.

It is important that you understand the temperature at which the equipment can be operated.

By understanding the dangers of operating equipment at low temperatures, you can ensure that your employees are protected from potential accidents and that your company can complete the work within the project deadline.
