Glass Tube Level Indicator Type 460 - PN25
The ACI filling level indicator Type 460 is designed for operating pressures up to 25 bar. It is made of high-quality stainless steel 1.4571 (AISI316Ti) and is available with flange or male threaded connections.
Application:
For visual observation of fluid levels in vessels, boilers, and silos.
The ACI filling level indicator Type 460 consists of two connection fittings joined by a thin glass tube.
Type 460 is suitable for installation outside of a tank and displays the liquid level inside the container directly through the principle of communicating pipes. For better visibility, especially for clear, colorless liquids, a float ball can be added that moves up and down inside the glass pipe with the liquid level.
Type 460 can be supplied in a free choice of length with flange or screw connections. For a distance between the connection fittings of more than 1500 mm, the total length is divided into several sections connected by intermediate supports.
Inside the connection fittings, a packing seal made of EPDM or PTFE ensures a secure seal. In case of dirt or damage, the filling level indicator can be safely separated from the monitored container using the stop valves integrated into the connections and emptied in a controlled manner.
Due to the delicate glass pipe, Type 460 is supplied not mounted. The installation connections must lie exactly on a line, especially for the model with a flange connection, and must not be turned against each other to prevent tension on the glass pipe after installation in the fitting.
An impact protection casing made of Plexiglas is available for Type 460, which protects the delicate glass pipe from external damage during operation.
