Chemical & Acid Storage Tank Level Gauges

Yes. Any thread specification can be tapped, including common sizes such as 1/4 NPT, 3/8 NPT, 1/2 NPT, 3/4 NPT, 1/4-20, 3/8-16, and 5/8-11 UNC. Custom thread specs beyond standard offerings are also available to match your existing tank fittings and level gauge hardware.

Yes. All float balls can be pressure-tested to meet your custom specifications. Our in-house pressure testing equipment ensures each unit performs reliably under the demanding pressure conditions typical of industrial chemical processing and acid storage tank applications.

Round float balls range from 1-1/2 inch to 14 inches in diameter. Oblong floats are available in sizes such as 2x6 inch, 3x5 inch, 7x12 inch, 7x16 inch, and 9x14 inch. Custom sizes outside of standard inventory can be manufactured to meet your exact tank geometry and level sensing requirements.

Custom magnets are sourced and assembled inside the stainless steel float ball during manufacturing. These magnetic float balls trigger reed switches or magnetic sensors in level gauges and float switches, enabling non-contact, precise liquid level detection without exposing electronic components directly to corrosive chemical media.

Stainless steel float balls are widely used in chemical manufacturing, wastewater treatment, food processing, vacuum tank systems, sump pump systems, and steam trap applications. Their corrosion resistance and customizability make them particularly well-suited for chemical and acid storage tanks requiring reliable, continuous liquid level monitoring.

Floats are available in matte (unfinished), brushed (polished weld seam), and fully polished mirror finishes. While the base material determines chemical resistance, a polished finish reduces surface porosity and potential crevice corrosion sites, which can be beneficial in highly corrosive acid or chemical storage environments.
