Float and board type level indicator

Product Details:

Float and board level indicator is attached to a multi stand wire rope, which passes through 2 nos. friction less specially designed pulleys. The Pulleys in turn are connected to a pointer, which moves on a graduated scale by the side of the tank.

CONSTRUCTION:- Often A typical float and board level indicator would consist of a float, dust proof pulley housing, pointer cradle with nylon and 150 mm screen printed aluminum scale. This instrument is an absolutely reliable and accurate system for liquid level measurement in tall overhead tanks. These type of float and board level indicators basically work on the principle of buoyancy. The float is well connected to the counter weight along with a pointer through flexible wire ropes. The pointer slides along the guide against a graduated scale to indicate corresponding levels inside the tank. 

APPLICATIONS:- Most often, the floats and board level indicators find its application in over ground and over head storage tanks. They are also used in storage tanks of petroleum products, like furnace oil, diesel, and lube oil and so on. Also, it is used in storage of vegetable oils, molasses, silicates, glucose and so on. In short, the float and board level indicators are most widely used in all non hazardous and non pressurized tanks.
Water, Veg oil, LSHS, Molasses, Caustics, Brine, H2SO4 etc. Vapor sealed for Solvent, Hcl, and NH4OH etc...

Principle of Operation :-
DB make Float & Board Type Level Indicator is suitable for large non – pressurized liquid storage tanks / vessels. The Specific Gravity of the fluid should be more than 0.6. Float is available in different material S.S.304/S.S.316/P.P./Teflon etc. In this Level Indicator, the float is designed according to the specific gravity of the liquid, floating on the liquid levels. This float connected to a pointer through Rope via a Sets of Pulleys, The pointer slides over a CM marked Board, Installed Parallel to the tank. For more than 3 metre height of the tank we provide two guide wires firmly anchored to the tank bottom. So that horizontal movement of the float is restricted. Float Inside the tank raises and deals with the level of fluid this makes the pointer move on the scale, indicating level inside the tank. In this Level Indicator, when tank is full the pointer is at bottom position on board and when tank is empty, the pointer will be at the top position.

Application :-
Most often, the Float & Board type Level Gauge finds its application in underground and over head storage tanks. They are also used in storage tanks of petroleum products, like furnace oil, diesel, and lube oil and so on. Also, it is used in storage of vegetable oils, molasses, silicates, glucose and so on. In short, the Float & Board type Level Indicator is most widely used in all non hazardous and non pressurized tanks. For Tank height more than 10 meter we provide Anchor Plated with Anchor Housing for Installing the Anchor Rope.
