Product Description
The side-mounted mechanical level gauge is a reliable, cost-effective liquid level measurement device designed for installation on the side wall of tanks, vessels, or reservoirs. It delivers real-time, direct liquid level readings without relying on external power supplies, making it ideal for various harsh or explosion-proof application scenarios.
Core Features
-
Power-Free & High Reliability
Operates purely on mechanical buoyancy principles. The built-in float is fixed in position and cannot rotate. As the liquid level changes, the swing arm drives the indicator to display the level value accurately. No electricity required.
-
Lightweight & Durable Material
The main body is made of aluminum alloy, providing high structural strength and corrosion resistance. Floats are available in NBR or optional stainless steel/PTFE for special media.
-
Easy Installation & Intuitive Reading
Matches standard tank connection flanges or threaded ports (M45 x2 or BSP 1-1/2"). Features a clear scale panel for direct on-site monitoring.
-
Customizable Specifications
Tailored solutions for scale ranges, units, connection types, and additional accessories like high/low level alarm limit switches.
Typical Applications
• Industrial storage tanks (oil, chemicals, water)
• Food and beverage processing (juice tanks, syrup storage)
• Generators and engines for small equipment (go-karts, beach bikes)
• Water treatment systems and sewage treatment tanks
• Petrochemical and mining industry liquid storage
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this level gauge require an external power source?
No, the side-mounted mechanical level gauge operates purely on mechanical buoyancy principles and does not require any electricity.
What tank heights can this gauge accommodate?
The gauge is highly customizable with a length range typically between 100mm and 1500mm to suit various tank sizes.
Is it suitable for use in outdoor or wet environments?
Yes, the device has an IP67 ingress protection rating, making it resistant to dust and water exposure, suitable for outdoor use.
Can I get an alarm signal for high or low levels?
Yes, additional limit switches can be added as accessories to provide high and low-level alarm functions based on your requirements.
What materials are used for the main construction?
The header is made of PA Nylon, the guide rail is constructed from aluminum alloy, and the float is NBR (optional stainless steel is available for specific media).
What are the standard thread connection sizes?
It typically comes with a standard M45 x2 thread or a standard BSP 1-1/2" thread to fit most fuel and water tanks.
