Hydraulic Tank Level Gauges for Fluid Power Systems

Yes, virtually any thread specification can be accommodated, including 1/4-20, 3/8-16, 1/4 NPT, 3/8 NPT, 1/2 NPT, 5/8-11 UNC, and 3/4 NPT. Through tube options are also available for rod diameters from 3/8" to 3/4". Custom fittings and hooks can be integrated to match exact system requirements.

Round float balls are available in sizes from 1-1/2" to 14" diameter. Oblong floats range from 2x6" up to 7x16" and 9x14", each with appropriate thread fittings. Custom sizes beyond standard inventory can be manufactured to meet specific application requirements.

Yes, all float balls can be pressure-tested to meet your specific system requirements. Our pressure testing equipment allows us to verify float ball integrity across a range of operating pressures, ensuring reliable performance in demanding industrial, vacuum tank, sump pump, and steam trap applications.

Stainless steel float balls serve a broad range of industries including chemical manufacturing for corrosive liquid monitoring, food processing for tank and vat level control, wastewater management for treatment tank measurement, industrial fluid power systems, sump pump operations, steam traps, and vacuum tank shutoff applications.

Yes, custom magnets can be sourced and assembled inside the float balls to enable magnetic level detection. This is particularly useful for complex fluid power and hydraulic systems where non-contact sensing or reed switch activation is required. Magnet integration is available for both round and oblong float configurations.

Three surface finishes are offered: matte (unfinished with a visible weld ring), brushed (smoothed weld seam for a clean appearance), and fully polished (mirror finish). The choice of finish can affect both aesthetics and suitability for hygienic applications such as food processing or pharmaceutical environments.
