Materials
One
of the most important considerations in selecting
a float switch is its compatibility with
the fluid
it will be sensing and the environment in which it
will
be used. Characteristics such as viscosity, density,
corrosiveness, temperature, pressure, precipitation,
conductivity, foaming, turbulence and agitation
must be considered. Extremes of any one of these
characteristics
may limit the float switch choices available. Furthermore,
a combination of even moderate values of several
characteristics may highly restrict choices for the
application. Madison
Company should be consulted for advice in demanding
installations.
The
checklist details below should be considered
before selecting a float switch. The requirements should
also be compared with individual specification sheets
for compatibility. |
