Series 1211/1213/1214 Flanged Chamber Level Control
External Mount, Pressure to 450 psig (31 bar), Temperature to 500°F (260°C)
Low minimum specific gravity of 0.40 and rugged flanged chamber for inspection purposes helps insure superior long term performance. Control can be used at maximum process pressure of 450 psig (31 bar) at 100°F (38°C), and 300 psig (21 bar) at 500°F (260°C). Standard 1" NPT connections are provided for mounting. 19 socket weld hubs or 1" flanges are available as options. Hermetically sealed snap switch or mercury switches are provided in a variety of circuit configurations such as SPST, SPDT, or DPDT. High or low DC applications can also be accommodated. General purpose, weatherproof, explosion-proof, or explosion-proof – vapor proof enclosures are provided.

Questions
- Question
- Why is the minimum specific gravity important on the float level switches?
- Answer
- If a medium has a lower s.g. than the rated minimum for a float, the float will sink through the media and the switch will not operate.
