The Float gauge is a simple, inexpensive, yet practical means of continuously indicating liquid levels in tanks and reservoirs. It also is used extensively as a reference gauge in stilling wells to check the record accuracy on water level recorders.
The Float gauge consists of a copper float, a pulley mounted on a standard and a counterweight. A graduated stainless steel tape is attached to the float with an adjustable clamp and connected at the other end to the counterweight. The pulley standard has an adjustable index for precision settings.
Stainless steel tapes are available in selected lengths as separate accessories to fit each particular installation. They are graduated in feet, tenths, and hundredths for English measurement, or meters, decimeters and centimeters for metric equivalents.
