Float Level Switches

Float level switches are a widely used device in various industries for level measurement and control. They operate based on the buoyancy principle, where a float moves up and down with the changing level of a liquid. The float’s movement actuates a switch, which then sends a signal to control systems, indicating the liquid’s level. This type of switch is employed for level detection, alarm triggering, and pump control in applications such as storage tanks, vessels, and sumps. Float level switches are valued for their simplicity, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.

Application Features:

• Versatility: Suitable for various industries including oil and gas, water treatment, chemical processing, and food and beverage.
• Easy installation: Can be mounted horizontally or vertically with minimal setup.
• Cost-effective: Offers an economical solution for level measurement compared to other complex devices.
• Reliability: Provides accurate and consistent measurements with minimal maintenance requirements.
• Customizable: Available in different materials, sizes, and configurations to suit specific application needs.
• Compatibility: Works with a wide range of liquid types, including corrosive and aggressive media.
• Multiple switch points: Can be designed with multiple floats for multiple level detection points within the same device.
• High- and low-level alarms: Can trigger alarms when liquid levels reach critical points, ensuring process safety.
• Pump control: Can be used for controlling pumps to maintain desired liquid levels in tanks and vessels.
• Hazardous area applications: Suitable for use in hazardous environments, with explosion-proof and intrinsically safe options available.
