- Gems Sensors Offers Kits To Custom-Assemble Level Indicators Maritime Reporter, Jul 16, 1985 #10
— L i t e r a t u r e A v a i l a b le New from the Gems Sensors Division of Plainville, Conn., are Fabri- Site Kits, which permit users to custom- assemble level indicators to exact requirements. The indicators provide direct continuous level readout of water, oil, or most corrosive or flammable liquids. Externally mounted, the indicators can be used on tanks of various shapes and sizes. They feature bi-colored, interlocking, magnetic flags which change color with moving float to indicate exact level of monitored liquid within the float housing. Unlike cloudy sight glasses, these indicators are safe, provide outstanding visibility and are virtually maintenance free.
FabriSite Kits include four different flag assembly lengths from 6 inches to 4 feet; clamps; switch modules; and three different types of float assemblies. The floats are available in PVC or stainless steel.
The customer supplies his own pipe or tube. These components allow easy stocking and permit quick and easy custom assembly without special tools.
FabriSite Indicators withstand temperatures of 300°F and, depending upon component selection, pressures up to 600 psi. Electrical switches may be incorporated for remote location monitoring. A complete custom assembly can be purchased as well.
