Float & Board Level Indicator: A Robust Mechanical Solution for Tank Level Monitoring
Where the attention eye of liquid level monitoring in gigantic storage tanks—particularly where ruggedness, simplicity, and precision matter—is in play—the LiquiLevel FBS Float & Board Level Indicator by Nikeson is the best choice. The tough, mechanical gauge skillfully marries traditional float-and-pulley mechanics with an externally constructed precision readout, providing reliable performance in industrial and commercial applications. 1. How It Works: The Basics of Float-and-Board Mechanics In the LiquiLevel FBS is a stainless steel float connected by cord and pulleys to an external indicator on an aluminum gauge board. As liquid levels within the tank rise and fall, the float rises and falls. That motion is transmitted mechanically to the display pointer, which moves freely on the gauge board (through the use of nylon roller guides). A two-wire guiding system stabilizes float movement accurately. The float is at the top for empty tank and bottom for full tank. It's a reall...
