The Float Switch: A Simple, Reliable Measurement Method for Almost All Liquid Media
| Trey Himes | Know-howDue to its reliability, a float switch is one of the most frequently used measurement technologies for monitoring liquid media levels. Its simple yet effective design consists of a hollow float within a guide tube, rising and falling with liquid levels and activating …
Diaphragm Seals Improve Reliability in Bioethanol Production
| Ravi Jethra | Know-howIn bioethanol production processes, engineers must closely monitor pressure, temperature, level, and flow in order to ensure safe and efficient operations. Diaphragm seals in these applications do double duty: protect pressure measurement instruments from the medium, …
Spring Gasket Assembly Protects the Float Inside a Level Gauge
| Trey Himes | LevelEven the best designed and matched-to-conditions level gauge can encounter unexpected pressure issues, which could crush a magnetic level indicator’s float. If this occurs, fragments could enter the process and contaminate a batch. A simple spring gasket assembly …
