HOW DO LIQUID LEVEL GAUGES WORK?
How Do Liquid Level Gauges Work?
Liquid level gauges are measuring instruments used to measure fluid levels in tanks and barrels.
These are made up of two parts, known as the ‘Upper’ and ‘Lower’ fitting which is used with 19.05mm polycarbonate or borosilicate glass tube.
This tube is friction fitted between the two fittings into a silicone seal at the outlets, allowing fluid to flow into the tube. Each unit has a stainless steel retaining nut that secures the tube and 25.4-38.1m Tri Clover ferruled connections that secure to the tank.
As the name suggests, liquid levels of tanks or barrels can be gauged by positioning the Upper Gauge at the top of the tank and the Lower Gauge near the bottom, allowing an external view of the liquid level within.
Each fitting has a tap to stop the flow of liquid if the tube needs repairing or replacing. The lower fitting also has a hosetail and extra function which allows the liquid in the tube to be drained if not in use.
The individual gauges are able to withstand a maximum pressure of 145 PSI (10 Bar); however, this may be less depending on the glass tube handling pressure.
