Standard Floats

Madison Company offers a wide variety of standard floats, in both full and miniature sizes. Floats are available in stainless steel, polypropylene, Buna-N and Kynar. Also available are standard Interface Floats (for applications such as separating oil and water) and Low-Level Floats (for use in sump pumps and drain pans).

Madison can design custom floats to meet your most demanding requirements. Consult the factory for details.

Interface Floats:
Polypropylene Buna-N Stainless Steel

For special applications, such as detecting water in a petroleum product, three full-size Buna-N interface floats with different specific gravities are available. For detection of dissimilar fluids that are not petroleum-based, specially weighted full-size interface floats are available in polypropylene or stainless steel.

Typical application: separation of oil and water

For ultra-low-level detection, special floats which will actuate in as little as 0.19" of liquid are available to fit various single-point and multi-point switch configurations. In the case of multi-level switches, the low-level indication can be as much as 0.57" lower than a typical barrel float design. Ultra-low-level floats are available in Kynar for high-purity applications, PBT or Buna-N for hydrocarbon liquids and FDA-approved polypropylene for food applications and general-purpose liquids. With this unique ultralow- level monitoring ability, these switches make more efficient use of high-cost liquids, and an early indication of liquid presence can be attained. Typical applications include sump pumps and drain pans. Click here for more information on Madison's ultra-low-level switch designs.
