Chemicals
The level switch has a threaded, flanged, or Tri Clamp process connection for
mounting it onto a silo (or other vessel). You can mount it on a side wall of
the silo, so that it is level with the filling limit to be monitored. Alternatively,
if it has an extended length, mount it vertically on top of a silo to monitor the
maximum filling limit.
The length of the fork can be up to 157.5 in. (4 m) with an extension tube.
