Cristal Instruments’ side mounted Float Switch can be used for initiating high/low level audio/visual signals or automatic level control of liquids in tanks. Switch actuation is by micro-switch having SPDT contacts of current rating 5 A @ 240 V AC. It operates normally at 12 mm liquid level differential. Float and all wetted parts are made of SS-304/316, PVC or PTFE. Designed for maximum pressure rating of 40 kg/cm² and temperature of 300°C, the switch is suitable for mounting directly on the side of a tank. It is gland-less and hence becomes leak-proof. Mounting flange is SS square flange having 83 mm PCD with 4 bolt holes of 9 mm as standard, other sizes available on request. While weather-proof SS switch housing is standard, flame-proof as per IS-2148-1981 for Group I, IIA & IIB gases available on request. Float switch suitable for liquid specific gravity from 0.7 to 1.2, low-cost miniature types are also offered for atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature applications. These are used in chemical industries, pharmaceuticals, power stations, other process industries, etc.
