Side Mounted Tubular Level Indicator

PITAMBARA ENGINEERING: Side Mounted Tubular Level IndicatorIntroduction

The Side Mounted Tubular Level Indicator by PITAMBARA ENGINEERING is an industrial-grade device used for monitoring and indicating the liquid level in large tanks, vessels, or containers. This type of level indicator is designed to provide a clear, visual reading of the level of liquids, especially in heavy-duty and high-pressure applications where accuracy and durability are essential.

Key Features:

  • Robust Design: The side-mounted construction ensures easy installation and high durability, even in harsh and demanding environments.
  • Heavy-Duty Construction: It is designed to withstand high pressure, temperature variations, and challenging industrial conditions, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
  • Tubular Glass: The level indicator typically uses tubular glass, providing a clear, direct visual indication of the liquid level. The use of high-strength glass ensures visibility and reliability.
  • High-Pressure Resistance: These indicators are capable of functioning under high pressure, which makes them ideal for applications in industries like chemical processing, power generation, and oil & gas.
  • Corrosion Resistance: The materials used are corrosion-resistant, ensuring longevity even when exposed to aggressive chemicals or fluids.

Applications:

  • Chemical Plants: For measuring the level of various chemicals in tanks or reactors.
  • Power Stations: To monitor the water and fuel levels in boilers, cooling towers, and other essential systems.
  • Oil & Gas: Used in storage tanks, separators, and processing vessels to track the level of oil or gas.
  • Water Treatment Plants: For monitoring water and sludge levels in tanks and other treatment units.

Advantages:

  • Clear Visual Indication: The tubular design allows for a clear, easy-to-read liquid level measurement.
  • Safety: Many designs come with safety features like shielded glass or impact-resistant materials to prevent accidents in case of accidental breakage.
  • Easy Maintenance: The side-mounted design typically allows for easier inspection and maintenance, especially in tanks with limited space.
  • Cost-Effective: Compared to more advanced digital or electronic level sensors, this manual system can be more cost-effective while still offering reliable performance.

Conclusion:

The PITAMBARA ENGINEERING Side Mounted Tubular Level Indicator is a highly reliable and durable solution for liquid level measurement in industries that require tough and precise monitoring instruments. Its rugged design, high-pressure resistance, and clear visual indication make it an essential tool for many heavy-duty industrial applications.

  • Precautions for installation
  • Applications
  • Features
  • During installation, tank shuld be completely empty.
  • There should be no objects which shall hinder the float.
  • Ensure that the float position inside the tank should be such that agitation on it will be minimum.
  • The position of mounting nozzle should be far away from the liquid fill pipe to protect the float from damage and faulty readings due to turbulence.
  • Ensure that tank structures / fittings do not come in the way of calibrated gauges boards
  • Instruments required- Welding machine, combination/crimping plier, spanner and adjustable.
  • Even with large changes in liquid density, the immersion of a large diameter float will change very little, thus density has little effect on accuracy.
  • Float systems are simple and easily understood.
  • Even if the primary requirement is the transmitted signal, local indicators can continue to operate, even on loss of power.
  • Simple
  • Low Maintenance
  • Economical Measurement Solution
  • Easy Mounting
  • Assured Level Indication without power supply
