Product Description
The Float & Board Level Indicator is a small and efficient instrument for monitoring liquid levels in tanks. It works on the buoyancy principle, with a float tied to a chain moving up and down to show the level. This straightforward yet powerful technique enables precise level measuring.
The Float & Board Level Indicator is intended for use in a variety of sectors, including as petroleum, pharmaceutical, and OEMs. It may be used to measure a wide range of liquid fluids, including acids, diluted alkalis, bases, and other chemicals often encountered in industrial applications.
FAQ-
What is the function of a vapour seal type float and board type level gauge?
The vapour seal type float and board type level gauge is widely used in tanks exposed to corrosive gases or vapours. It is also appropriate for nitrogen purging tanks.
How does the float and board type level gauge show the liquid level?
The float is connected to a magnetized counterweight that travels in a stainless steel conduit that is sealed. This action propels a follower magnetized two-colored capsule inside a glass tube, displaying the liquid level clearly.

FAQs of Float And Board Level Indicator:
Q: How does the Float and Board Level Indicator operate without electricity?
A: This indicator uses a mechanical linkage system, where a stainless steel float activates a pulley and counterweight mechanism. The movement of the float is visually displayed on a graduated board, offering reliable readings without electrical inputs, making it ideal for remote or hazardous installations.
Q: What types of liquids can this level indicator measure?
A: It is suitable for water, oil, and a variety of chemicals, provided the liquid density is up to 1.2 g/cm. The devices construction resists corrosion, allowing it to perform in diverse industrial environments without compromising precision.
Q: Where should the Float and Board Level Indicator be installed for optimal performance?
A: This instrument is designed for top-mounted installation on industrial tanks. It is weatherproof and IP65 rated, which makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, including water treatment facilities and oil storage tanks.
Q: What is the process for customizing the indicator to fit specific tank sizes?
A: Customization is available for board length, float shape, and overall dimensions. By providing tank specifications, manufacturers can tailor the indicator to ensure accurate measurement across the full height of the tank, up to 15 meters.
Q: What are the benefits of using a mechanical float level indicator versus electronic alternatives?
A: Mechanical indicators offer low maintenance, high reliability, and operate independently of power supply. They are less susceptible to electrical faults, perform consistently in extreme weather, and simplify visual tank monitoring.
Q: How often does the Float and Board Level Indicator require maintenance?
A: The unit is engineered for minimal upkeep, thanks to its robust stainless steel and aluminium construction. Periodic inspections are recommended, but routine maintenance needs are significantly lower than electronic systems.
Q: What is the typical accuracy and measuring range of this indicator?
A: The float device provides an accuracy of 10 mm and can measure tank levels up to 15 meters. The scale is marked in centimeters or meters, ensuring granular and precise liquid level indication for operational safety and inventory management.
