NK10 Fill Level Limiter

Application

The NK10 fill level limiter is used in thermothech-

nical and process plants as a safeguard against
the fill level falling below the lowest permissible
level. As a limiter the device conforms to the re-
quirements of DIN 4754.

The devices in this series are...

• Type-tested according to DIN 32728.

• Certified under EC guideline 97/23/EC with
certificate no. 07 202 5435 Z 0063/2/1. The
EC-type examination test was carried out by
the German inspection authority TÜV Nord
Plant Engineering.
• GL 65 353 - 93 HH certified. The certification
was made by Germanischer Lloyd.

Copies of the certificates can be found in the ap-

pendices to the operating manual.

Design and mode of operation Important features

• Temperature stability up to 400°C
The swim system of the fill level limiter is con-
tained in the fluid-filled reservoir (expansion tank). • Parts that come into contact with media made
The swimming motions generated by changes in of stainless steel
the fill level are transmitted directly to a micro-
• Double-walled stainless-steel bellows
switch by a swimmer rod sealed in a stainless-
steel bellows. The fulcrum of the swimmer rod is • Heat-resistant finish
located outside of the pressure chamber.
Functional Schematic
There is a test button outside the pressure cham-
ber with which a function check as per DIN 32728 Welding sockets
Switch lever Microswitch
can be made without lowering the fill level. When Counterflange

pressed, the body of the swimmer is moved Swimmer

against its buoyancy.
