AKTEK TP17200M Mechanical Liquid Level Gauge (MLLG) is an economical, easy-to-install measurement device that utilizes a target and gaugeboard to indicate tank level. The indicator displays liquid level (product innage) with an accuracy of 1″ (25 mm). Designed for use on a variety of atmospheric and low-pressure storage vessels, the AKTEK TP17200M may be installed on both in-service and out-of-service tanks.
Features:
•Accurate to 1″ (25 mm)
•Durable aluminum gaugeboard with vinyl facing
•Level indication in feet/inches or meters/decimeters
•Full travel or half travel designs
•Standard and severe service configurations
•Vertical cone roof and bolted tank models
Changes in the liquid level of the tank raise or lower the float, which moves the indicator cable. Cable movement drives the indicator up and down the gaugeboard on the side of the tank. The liquid level in feet and inches or meters and decimeters is shown by the indicator position on the gaugeboard. The user may then convert the liquid level to units of volume. This can be accomplished manually or by using inventory management software, such as FuelManager®.
The following information should be used as a guide only; please refer to the operation and maintenance manual for complete installation instructions. You can leave the tank in-service while installing the AKTEK TP17200M.
AKTEK offers a variety of models and installation kits to suit most applications for the TP17200M Mechanical Liquid Level Gauge (MLLG). Included with each TP17200M MLLG are all components necessary for installation, except for the 1-1/2″ (38mm) pipe.
The aluminum gaugeboard is provided in 7 ft (2.1m) sections and includes the necessary number of splice brackets to connect the sections supplied per the measuring range ordered. The aluminum board is 0.8″ (2 mm) thick with a vinyl facing in English or Metric units of measure.
Benefits of Mechanical Level Indicator
Visual Level Monitoring: A mechanical level indicator provides a clear visual indication of the liquid level in a storage tank, allowing operators to easily monitor and assess the current fill status.
Simple and Reliable Operation: Mechanical level indicators operate on straightforward mechanical principles, ensuring reliability and ease of use. They are less complex compared to electronic systems, reducing the likelihood of malfunctions.
No Power Requirement: Unlike electronic level monitoring systems, mechanical indicators do not require external power sources, making them suitable for applications where power availability is limited or where avoiding electrical components is preferred.
Cost-Effective Solution: Mechanical level indicators are often more cost-effective compared to electronic alternatives, making them an economical choice for basic level monitoring requirements.
Low Maintenance: The simplicity of mechanical level indicators results in lower maintenance needs. They have fewer components that can wear out or malfunction, reducing the frequency and cost of maintenance.
Durability and Longevity: Mechanical indicators are known for their durability and longevity. Constructed from robust materials, they can withstand harsh environmental conditions and provide reliable performance over an extended period.
Suitable for Various Fluids: Mechanical level indicators are versatile and suitable for monitoring various types of liquids, including corrosive substances, chemicals, water, and oils.
Compatibility with Different Tank Sizes: These indicators are adaptable to different tank sizes, making them suitable for a range of storage applications across various industries.
Intrinsically Safe: The absence of electrical components in mechanical indicators makes them intrinsically safe, reducing the risk of sparks or electrical hazards in environments where flammable materials are present.
Ease of Installation: Mechanical level indicators are generally easy to install, allowing for quick integration into new tank systems or retrofitting into existing ones without significant modifications.
Local and Remote Readability: Depending on the design, some mechanical indicators allow for local reading directly on the tank, while others may have remote reading options for added convenience.
Complementary to Other Monitoring Systems: Mechanical indicators can be used in conjunction with other monitoring systems, providing redundancy and enhancing overall reliability in level measurement.
In summary, a Mechanical Level Indicator for Storage Tank offers a cost-effective, reliable, and low-maintenance solution for visual level monitoring, making it a practical choice for various storage applications.
