Side Mounted Float Switch

Cristal Instruments offer a side mounted Float Switch. This can be used for initiating high/low level audio/visual signals or automatic level control of liquids in tanks. Switch actuation is by a micro-switch having SPDT contacts of current rating 5 A @ 240 V AC. It operates normally at 12 mm liquid level differential. The float and all wetted parts are of SS 304/316, PVC or Teflon. 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 the 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 dia as standard, other sizes on request. For SS switch weatherproof housing is standard; and flameproof as per IS-2148-1981 for Grade I, II A and II B gases on request. These switches are 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.
