Features Level Plus Liquid-Level Sensors With Temposonics Technology Floats, s and Accessories for Process Level and Tank Gauging Applications Accessories Catalog Variety of styles and sizes to fit most applications Available in 316L stainless steel, Teflon, Hastelloy C-276 and Nitrophyl Custom weighting available Applications General chemicals Fuels and solvents Detergents and soaps Lubricating oils Propane Markets Pharmaceutical Food and beverage Above Ground Storage Tank (AST) Underground Storage Tank (UST) Petrochemical overview SENSORS 551103 A MTS Level Plus offers a variety of floats to meet your application needs. Our floats come in a variety of sizes from less than 38 mm (1.5 in.) up to 178 mm (7 in.) in diameter. Float materials are available in stainless steel, Teflon, Hastelloy C-276 and Nitrophyl. weighted floats are also available for applications requiring PTB approval. However, product viscosity, specific gravity, and temperature can vary widely in a process or tank gauging application. Because of these variables and others, such as tank pressure and corrosiveness, no one float can meet all requirements. Therefore, a variety of float styles are available and we will assist you in choosing the one that best meets your requirements. When choosing a float for your application, MTS recommends you choose one that has a specific gravity of at least 0.05 less than that of the measured liquid. For interface measurement, a minimum of 0.05 specific gravity differential is recommended between upper and lower liquids. MTS Level Plus also offers a variety of meters, housings, and calibration equipment as accessories to our transmitter range. Meters are available for analog, DDA, and Modbus outputs. For more information, please contact the applications department or go to www.mtssensors.com for more information. All specifications are subject to change. Contact MTS for specifications and engineering drawings that are critical to your application. Drawings contained in this document are for reference only. Go to www.mtssensors.com for the latest support documentation.
Standard product and interface float options General tes (for all applications): 1. Be sure that the float specific gravity is at least 0.05 less than that of the measured liquid as a safety margin at ambient temperature. 2. For interface measurement: A minimum of 0.05 specific gravity differential is required between the upper and lower liquids. 3. Sanitary polish is available for stainless-steel floats up to 200 Grit/Ra 25. 4. Electropolish is available for stainless-steel floats up to 240 Grit/Ra 15. 5. When the magnet is not shown, the magnet is positioned at the center line of float. 6. weight option: A weight is installed in the float to bias, or tilt, the float installed on the transmitter tube so that the float remains in contact with the transmitter tube at all times. The offset option is required for installations that must conform to PTB standards. 7. Drawing contained in this document are for reference only. Contact the factory for engineering drawings. 8. *Call for specific lead times. Typical lead time exceeds lead time of the transmitter. & Dimensions Pressure Temp.
