Series 1261/1263/1264 Welded Chamber Level Control

Series 291/293/294 Welded Chamber Level Control

Single Stage, Low Cost, Hermetically Sealed Snap Switches

Inexpensive yet rugged construction in a welded chamber control. The Series 291/293/294 Welded Chamber Level Control is specifically designed for single stage operation where pressure does not exceed 350 psig (24 bar) at 100°F (38°C) or 300 psig (21 bar) at 600°F (315°C) available with a variety of hermetically sealed snap switch or mercury switch circuits protected by a general purpose, weatherproof or explosion-proof enclosure and will accommodate specific gravities down to 0.60.

Questions

Question
Why is the minimum specific gravity important on the float level switches?
Answer
If a medium has a lower s.g. than the rated minimum for a float, the float will sink through the media and the switch will not operate.
