port level Gauge

Q: How is the port level gauge installed and what mounting options are available?

A: The gauge can be mounted vertically as a standard option or horizontally upon request. Installation is straightforward, utilizing either flanged or screwed (threaded) connections compatible with BSP, NPT, or metric threads. This allows easy integration into existing or new tanks and vessels.

Q: What materials and seal options are used to ensure chemical resistance and durability?

A: Our level gauges use borosilicate or toughened glass for excellent chemical resistance and high durability. Housings can be selected from stainless steel, aluminium, or brass. Sealing materials offered include neoprene, viton, PTFE, and nitrile, providing robust protection against a wide range of chemicals and process conditions.

Q: When would I need upgrades like a magnetic indicator, scale plate, or illuminator?

A: Additional features such as magnetic indicators, scale plates, and illuminators are beneficial in conditions where enhanced reading visibility, accuracy, or remote level indication is required. These upgrades are ideal for low-light areas, critical safety applications, or when precise visual monitoring is essential.

Q: Where can this level gauge be used and what types of applications are suitable?

A: This gauge is specifically designed for industrial tanks and vessels, making it ideal for oil storage, coolant tanks, hydraulic reservoirs, and a variety of process vessels. Its robust construction and high chemical resistance suit harsh processing environments prevalent in chemical plants, refineries, or manufacturing facilities.

Q: What is the measuring range and accuracy of the gauge?

A: Measuring range is customizable according to application, typically from 100 mm to 350 mm. The device provides high precision with an accuracy of 2 mm, ensuring reliable readings for critical process monitoring.

Q: How does the visual indication system work, and what are the benefits of magnetic indicator options?

A: This mechanical gauge provides direct visual level indication via glass, with optional indicator flags or balls for easy reading. Magnetic indicators offer the added benefit of remote level indication, reduced risk of leaks (since the process does not rely solely on glass), and clear visibility even from a distance.
