DIRECT READING TANK CONTENTS GAUGES

Features:

• Robust Construction
• Leak Proof
• Maintenance Free

Applications:

• Oil / Water Storage Tanks

• Chemical Storage Tanks
• Transformer Oil Level Indication
• Mobile Tankers and Bowsers

Bayham float operated contents gauges are

designed for mounting directly onto tanks to
provide continuous indication of tank
contents or fluid level. Every gauge
incorporates a magnetic coupling through the
gauge body preventing fluid leakage into the
Dial Chamber.

Bayham contents gauges are of a modular

construction with build options to suit a
variety of applications including mobile
tankers and locomotives. Side mounting and
top mounting versions are available with
material options to suit the fluid to be
measured. Dial sizes from 50mm to 250mm
can be supplied with either standard
markings in fractions or with custom
calibrated dials in engineering units to suit the
tank size.

Gauges are available manufactured to suit

particular service requirements or standard stock gauges with adjustable length float arms and dials scaled
in fractions can be supplied from stock.

Installation

The most common position to mount the gauge is half way up the side of the tank thus allowing the shortest
float arm to be used. Any baffles or internal cross bracing should not interfere with the arc of the float arm
travel. Please note that the size, number and position of the gauge flange mounting holes are different for
each gauge. Dimensioned drawings are available on request.

We stock mounting pads pre-fitted with studs, nuts, and washers suitable for welding on to steel tanks.
