Level Gauge Connection: Temperature Range -20°C to 200°C

Component Specifications

Definition

The Level Gauge Connection is a critical interface component designed to securely mount and seal level measurement instruments (gauges) to feedwater tanks in industrial storage sections. It ensures accurate transmission of liquid level data while maintaining system integrity under varying pressure and temperature conditions.

Working Principle

Provides a sealed mechanical interface between the level gauge and tank wall, allowing the gauge to measure liquid height through direct contact or sensor transmission while preventing leaks and maintaining pressure integrity.

Materials

Stainless Steel 316L (ASTM A240), Carbon Steel A106 Grade B, or Brass C36000; Seals: EPDM or Viton gaskets; Pressure rating: 150-600 PSI; Temperature range: -20°C to 200°C

Technical Parameters
