| | What Information Do I Need To Order A Gauge?
If you have the part number of the gauge, then you will not need any more information. Otherwise, you will need a couple of measurements.
A) The tank depth
B) The height of the riser/standpipe, if there is one
C) The length between the two small holes that hold the dial/capsule in place.
D) Another bit of information to have would be the number of bolts securing the gauge to the tank, i.e.: 4 or 5, or the diameter of the opening, if it is a screw in gauge.
E) The next piece of information needed is the dial/capsule.The part number is printed on the face of the dial, generally looks like 5-**** on the bottom right side of dial. If you do not have the part number then,
F) Do you look at the dial to get your reading or does the dial/capsule send a reading to your control panel/dashboard? If it sends a reading to your control panel/dashboard, see section on outputs (4) lower on the page
G) It is important to know the application and contents of the tank to be measured. For instance, is it fuel tank on a boat, or a water tank on a steamer? Is the contents, diesel or an acid based liquid?
What Is An Adjustable Gauge?
Several of our gauges are available in an adjustable style. This allows a quicker delivery time because the gauge does not have to be built specifically for the depth of your tank. The only requirements for using an adjustable gauge are:
A) Gauge must be mounted flush to the tank or the riser/standpipe must be minimal (less than 1 inch)
B)Tank must be of sufficient width to handle longer float arm.
What Is A Set Stem Gauge?
A gauge that has a set stem length is built specifically for a certain tank depth. The stem length is a set length. Applications in which there is a riser/standpipe of significant height or where a two walled tank is used would require this type gauge. Generally the depth of the tank is divided by two. The stem would have the length and the float arm would be half the length less 1/2" to make sure there is no drag on the bottom of the tank. For example, the gauge for a 12" inch tank would have a stem of 6" and a float arm of approximately 5 3/8". The height of the riser/standpipe is added to the stem length not the float arm.
What Outputs Are Available?
The standard output on our twinsites and remote fuel senders is 240-33 ohms. Other outputs such as 0-90, 0-30 are readily available. There are some special sensors that are available in differing outputs. Please contact us for more information.
