Ranges are indicative industry figures for RFQ preparation, not a supplier commitment. Confirm every value and standard with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
This component is essential for the following industrial systems and equipment:
| pressure: | Up to 10 bar (150 psi) standard, higher available |
| other spec: | Flow rate: <1 m/s to prevent float instability, Slurry concentration: <5% solids by weight for standard models |
| temperature: | -20°C to 120°C (typical) |
Indicative industry ranges for design and RFQ preparation. Confirm the exact figures and applicable standard with the manufacturer before specifying.
Quoted from the published standard.
10 companies list this product among what they make. Company figures are quoted from each company's own website; every card states where the relationship came from.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The reference operating pressure range is 1.0 to 1.6 MPa. However, the actual allowable pressure depends on the specific model and installation. Always verify with the manufacturer.
The float material can be stainless steel 304 or 316, with 316 recommended for corrosive media. However, compatibility depends on the specific chemical and temperature. Consult the manufacturer for suitability.
The switch voltage range is 24 to 240 V AC/DC, and the switch current is 0.5 to 5 A, but only for resistive loads. Inductive loads may require additional protection. Verify with the manufacturer.
Common signs include erratic switching, failure to switch, or visible damage. Regular inspection of the float movement and electrical continuity is recommended. If issues occur, replace the unit.
