CHAPTER 7 - SETTING DISPLAY DENSITY

W
hen the gauge is calibrated with the correct offset, it is assumed
that the density of the product is 0.90 (specific gravity is 90% of
pure water). The amount that the float sinks into the product will vary
somewhat with the density of the product, and hence the gauge reading
will change slightly. For lower density product, the float will sink more,
and so the gauge will read a bit low. For higher density product, the float
will sink less (it will float higher), so the gauge will read a bit high. The
following tables summarize float levels as they relate to the type of float
and product density.
