Mechanical Dial Level Indicator

The LI mechanical dial level indicator shows the liquid level in water tanks, reservoirs and suction tanks on a large dial that can be read from a distance. A float on the liquid surface is connected by a rope over pulleys to a counterweight; as the level changes the rope turns a gear and shaft that move the pointer across the dial. It is purely mechanically operated, needs little maintenance and suits outdoor use with a mild steel housing that is hot-dipped galvanised or epoxy coated. The scale and range are selectable and can be customised to the customer's needs.

Features

• Large dial sizes from 300 mm to 1500 mm (12" to 60")
• Accuracy 1% of full scale; zero stability and repeatability ±0.5% of full scale
• Ranges of 0 … 3 m up to 0 … 30 m, or in feet; custom ranges to order
• Indication in metres or feet
• Mild steel casing with hot-dipped galvanised or epoxy coating for outdoor use
• Mechanically operated, low maintenance
• Optional back cover and luminous marking on the dial
• Optional 4–20 mA loop signal (24 V DC) for remote indication

How it works

• Float (PVC or SS316) follows the liquid surface
• Rope (nylon-coated stainless steel or nylon) runs over pulleys to a counterweight (brass, cement or stainless steel)
• Rope movement turns the gear and shaft (brass or stainless steel) that drives the dial pointer

Applications

• Reservoirs
• Suction tanks
• Water tanks
• Diesel and other storage tanks
• Water and other non-aggressive fluids
