The float, scale, and board materials can be tailored to withstand challenging fluids and environmental conditions, ensuring optimal performance in both indoor and outdoor installations.
Durability and Low Maintenance SimplifiedMade from corrosion-resistant materials like SS 304/316 and powder-coated aluminum, the FCL 960 is easy to install and maintain. Its mechanical construction reduces downtime and maintenance costs, while the IP55 rating ensures reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.
FAQ's of FLOAT AND BOARD LEVEL INDICATOR-FCL 960:
Q: How is the FLOAT AND BOARD LEVEL INDICATOR-FCL 960 installed?
A: The FCL 960 is typically top-mounted on storage tanks using either a flange or bracket. All essential accessories-including the pulley, float, wire rope, and counterweight-are provided for straightforward mechanical installation without the need for electrical connections.
Q: What types of fluids can the FCL 960 measure levels in?
A: This indicator is designed for compatibility with water, diesel, various oils, acids, and a wide range of chemicals, owing to its corrosion-resistant components and adaptable material options for the float and scale.
Q: When should I choose a stainless steel or polypropylene float?
A: Stainless steel floats (SS 304/316) are ideal for aggressive or corrosive chemicals and high-density fluids, while polypropylene floats suit lighter or less corrosive liquids. The choice should match the application and fluid properties for optimal longevity.
Q: Where can the FCL 960 be used effectively?
A: The FCL 960 is suitable for installation in industrial, chemical, wastewater treatment, and storage tank applications, both indoors and outdoors, due to its rugged construction and IP55 protection rating.
Q: What benefits does a mechanical level indicator provide over electronic systems?
A: Mechanical level indicators like the FCL 960 require no power supply, are simpler to maintain, and are highly durable in aggressive environments. They provide direct, reliable readings without dependency on electronic components or supply voltage.
Q: How does the reading system operate on the FCL 960?
A: As the float rises or falls with liquid levels, the wire rope moves the pointer along a graduated board. The magnetic follower ensures smooth, visible readings on the board for quick level assessment at a glance.
