Application

Tanks

Storage tanks, process tanks, atmospheric tanks, pressure tanks — wherever the level has to be sensed, switched, gauged or held below an overflow point. Stainless float balls drawn and welded to your size and thread, pressure-tested if the service calls for it. Call us with the tank, the media and the mounting.

Where the float goes
