316 float level indicator for acid and alkali solutions
The primary use of this product is to accurately and continuously monitor the liquid level of acid and alkali solutions in storage tanks, reaction vessels, трубопроводы, and other containers. It can realize multiple functional demands such as real-time level display, high/low level alarm triggering, and interlocking control with pumps, valves, and other equipment. Specifically, it helps operators grasp the liquid storage capacity in real time to avoid overflow or dry running of equipment; triggers timely alarms when the liquid level exceeds the safe range to prevent potential safety hazards such as leakage of corrosive liquids; and cooperates with control systems to automatically adjust the input or output of liquids, realizing automated management of production processes.
The core function of the 316 float level indicator is to convert the change of liquid level into a measurable signal (mechanical or electrical) through the buoyancy effect of the float. When the liquid level rises or falls, the float moves up and down accordingly, driving the internal transmission mechanism (such as a lever, magnetic coupling, и т. д.) to operate. This movement is then converted into a visual indication (such as a pointer, scale) or an electrical signal (such as 4-20mA current signal, switch signal) and transmitted to the control room or on-site display instrument. In addition, it can achieve functions such as point-level control (controlling the liquid level within a specific range) and continuous level measurement, meeting different monitoring requirements of industrial production.
Firstly, it has excellent corrosion resistance. Made of 316 нержавеющая сталь (containing molybdenum), it can resist the erosion of most acidic solutions (such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid) and alkaline solutions (such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide), and also has good resistance to chloride ion corrosion, suitable for marine or high-salt corrosive environments. Secondly, the measurement is stable and reliable. The float structure adopts a sealed design, with no leakage risk, and the transmission mechanism has high precision and strong anti-interference ability, ensuring accurate level detection even in turbulent or foamy acid-alkali solutions. Thirdly, it has simple structure and easy installation. It can be installed in various ways such as top-mounted, side-mounted, and flange-mounted, adapting to different container structures and installation spaces. Finally, it has strong environmental adaptability, with a wide operating temperature and pressure range, and can work normally in harsh conditions such as high temperature, low temperature, and high pressure.
Compared with ordinary carbon steel or 304 stainless steel level indicators, the 316 float level indicator has obvious advantages in corrosive environments: it has a longer service life, reducing the frequency of equipment replacement and maintenance costs; it has higher operational safety, avoiding equipment damage and environmental pollution caused by corrosion leakage of the indicator. Compared with electronic level measurement equipment (such as ultrasonic, radar level meters), it has lower cost, simpler maintenance, no need for frequent calibration, and is more suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or occasions with high requirements for equipment stability. In addition, its mechanical structure has strong durability, is not easily affected by factors such as medium viscosity and turbidity, and has wider applicability in acid-alkali solution applications.
This product is widely used in various industries involving acid and alkali solutions. In the chemical industry, it is used for level monitoring of acid-alkali raw material storage tanks, reaction kettles for acid-base neutralization reactions, and corrosive waste liquid treatment tanks; in the electroplating industry, it monitors the level of electroplating baths containing acidic or alkaline electrolytes to ensure the stability of electroplating processes; in the pharmaceutical industry, it is used for level control of acid-alkali reagents in drug synthesis processes, meeting the requirements of GMP production; in the water treatment industry, it monitors the level of acid-alkali dosing tanks in water purification and sewage treatment processes, ensuring accurate dosing; it is also used in the metallurgical, textile, and food processing industries (such as pickling processes in metallurgy, alkali soaking processes in textiles) for level monitoring of related corrosive liquid containers.
