Floats

The float is a key component of the level sensor that must be matched to the medium in
respect of density, pressure resistance and material durability.
The following floats are exchangeable and are available to order separately. Other float
types and materials are available on request.
The density and magnet position of floats of the same type may vary
slightly, in which case readjustment may be required.
All floats are also suitable for use at a pressure of 1 bar (vacuum).

Pressure resistance is guaranteed for undamaged floats only. Even
the most minor and invisible dents, which can occur if, for exam-
ple, the float is dropped from a bench onto a stone floor, are suf-
ficient to cause a significant deterioration in pressure resistance.
