Level Switches Features and Benefits
General
Features and Benefits
Gaskets
All standard models are provided with a Nitrile binder composite gasket that is
selected for its resistance to hydrocarbons and steam.
For high-temperature, high-pressure or NACE-constructed units, a spiral-wound
gasket is used with 316SS wound-around Grafoil.
Extreme high-pressure model 802 uses a soft-iron, ring-joint gasket on the chamber
head flange.
Internal Trim
All sensing elements (floats and displacers) are constructed of either
316/316LSS or porcelain as a minimum.
Attraction sleeves are available in 400SS as a standard, with 316/316LSS or
of Inconel 600.

Material
The level switch model number is divided into seven sections that individually specify the
components of an SOR level switch. This diagram illustrates the model number arrangement.
Select the component designators from the appropriate pages of this brochure. Standard
components and ratings are highlighted throughout the brochure for ease of use.
Each section includes a valid model number at the top of each listing of component designators.
The position of the designator listed below it will be shown in color for reference.
How to Order
Steps 1 through 5 are required; Step 6 is optional. Orders must have complete model numbers,
i.e. each component must have a designator.
Step 1: Select Model Series based on maximum working pressure and minimum
specific gravity.

The charts below provide standard Set Points. As the specific gravity used on a level switch
changes, the Set Points will also change. These values are based on the specific gravity listed
and units with “B” trim and single switch (except D, J, K, R and T switches). All calibration

Level Switches Switching Mechanisms
SOR switching mechanisms are designed for use in punishing industrial atmospheres. SOR offers
a variety of electrical and pneumatic switching mechanism types to fit a wide range of applications.
The basic types of switch mechanisms available are listed below. See page 46 for specifications.
All SOR switching mechanisms are constructed from stainless steel and other durable
manufactured materials. Each mechanism is individually calibrated and inspected to insure
accuracy and repeatability. See below for the benefits and application of each switch type.
All mechanisms are interchangeable with most competitor units.

Anti-Vibration Switches
Types D and R
Anti-Vibration Switches employ two magnets to provide
vibration protection. Dual magnets prevent false trips by
providing a positive mechanical lock to the enclosing tube
when the switch is in any position.
(Type T switches are mini-hermetically sealed units with
dual magnets.)
Pneumatic Switches

Pneumatic switches are available for applications that prohibit
electrical switching or where electricity is not available.

SOR level switches can accommodate high-temperature applications. These temperatures can be
safely reached by a proper combination of chamber material, switch mechanism and temperature
extension. Refer to page 51 to select the proper components for your process temperature.

The specific gravity of water changes as it heats and cools. The chart below lists properties of
saturated steam. Saturated steam is the state where water is in transition between liquid and vapor.
The chart provides the process temperature with the associated pressure and specific gravity of the

only be present at the temperature that corresponds to the maximum pressure. Select the proper

ANSI/ASME B31.3 Fluid Category
Normal A fluid service not subject to the following four categories.
Category D A fluid service in which all of the following apply:
1. The fluid handled is non-flammable, non-toxic, and not damaging to human skin.
2. The design gage pressure does not exceed 150 psi.
3. The design temperature is between -20°F and 366°F.
Category M A fluid service in which the potential for personnel exposure is judged to be significant and
in which a single exposure to a very small quantity of a toxic fluid, caused by leakage, can
produce serious irreversible harm to persons on breathing or bodily contact, even when
prompt restorative measures are taken.
Severe Cyclic A fluid service with high-cycle rates that cause extreme stress on components.

702A-AIC-B-A1-MC-CRTT
Manual Check (MC) and Tru-Check (TC) options permit manual actuation of vertical displacer level
switches, addressing EPA and OSHA safety requirements. The standard 30-foot stainless steel
chain allows manual actuation from the tank base, eliminating potentially hazardous trips to the top
of the tank. Specify either an MC or TC option by placing the designator in the accessory section of
the model number.
Designator Application
TC Tanks or vessels pressurized to 100 psi
MC Atmospheric vented tanks or vessels
These options can be supplied on SOR level switch Series 701 through 704 and 730 through 733.
MC and TC option available on carbon steel units only.
How It Works
Pulling the handle transfers downward motion to the actuator lever by means of the beaded
stainless steel chain. The resultant motion lifts the entire level sensing assembly which moves
the attraction sleeve and actuates the switching element to simulate a high-level condition.
Switching action for alarm, shutdown or control is verified.

Pressure
To Convert from: To: Use this formula:
Bar Pounds per Square Inch (psi) bar x 14.504 = psi
Kilo Pascals (kPa) Pounds per Square Inch (psi) kPa x 0.145 = psi
Mega Pascals (MPa) Pounds per Square Inch (psi) MPa x 145 = psi
Kilograms per cm2 (kg/cm2) Pounds per Square Inch (psi) kg/cm2 x 14.223 = psi
Pounds per Square Inch (psi) Bar psi ÷ 14.504 = bar
Pounds per Square Inch (psi) Kilo Pascals (kPa) psi ÷ 0.145 = kPa
Pounds per Square Inch (psi) Mega Pascals (MPa) psi ÷ 145 = MPa
Pounds per Square Inch (psi) Kilograms per cm2 (kg/cm2) psi ÷ 14.223 = kg/cm2
Specific Gravity
To Convert from: To: Use this formula:
Kilograms per meter3 (kg/m3) Specific Gravity (SG) kg/m3 x 0.001 = SG
Pounds per foot3 (lb/ft3) Specific Gravity (SG) lb/ft
3
÷ 62.4 = SG
Degrees API Specific Gravity (SG) 141.5 ÷ (API +131.5) = SG
Specific Gravity (SG) Kilograms per meter3 (kg/m3) SG x 1000 = kg/m3
Specific Gravity (SG) Pounds per foot3 (lb/ft3) SG x 62.4 = lb/ft3
Specific Gravity (SG) Degrees API (141.5 ÷ SG) - 131.5 = API
Length
To Convert from: To: Use this formula:
millimeters (mm) Inches (in.) mm ÷ 25.4 = in.
meters (m) Feet (ft.) m x 3.281 = ft.
Inches (in.) millimeters (mm) in. x 25.4 = mm
Feet (ft.) meters (m) ft. ÷ 3.281 =m
Temperature
To Convert from: To: Use this formula:
Degrees Fahrenheit (°F) Degrees Centigrade (°C) (°F - 32) ÷ 1.8 = °C
Degrees Centigrade (°C) Degrees Fahrenheit (°F) (1.8 x °C) + 32 = °F
Variables:
