Oil & Gas

Stainless float balls for tank gauging, separator level control, gauging-hatch floats and pressure-tested service across upstream and midstream operations. Drawn-and-welded, 316ss on request, pressure-tested to your spec. Call us with the size, thread and pressure — we usually quote the same day.

Where the float goes

Typical uses in oil & gas

The most common roles a stainless float ball plays across upstream and midstream service.

Tank gauging

Float-actuated gauges on crude and produced-water tanks.

Separators

Level floats in two-phase and three-phase separators.

Gauging hatches

Floats for thief-hatch and automatic-tank-gauging assemblies.

Glycol & amine units

Magnetic-sensed floats on glycol regen and amine contactors.

What to specify

Recommended specs for oil & gas
