APOLLO VALVES 24-600 Series Chain Lever Water Gauges

How do I install and maintain these chain lever water gauges?

• Ensure that all parts and accessories are included and in good condition before installation.
• Install the gauge on a stable mounting surface.
• Attach the gauge to the water vessel or tank using the appropriate fittings, ensuring a secure and leak-proof connection.
• Regularly inspect the gauge for damage, leaks or signs of wear.
• Regularly clean the glass tube and other components to prevent scale buildup or obstruction.
• Check the float mechanism or indicator for proper movement and operation.
• Replace any worn or damaged gaskets or seals promptly to prevent leaks or inaccurate readings.

What are the factors to consider while choosing the right chain lever water gauge for my application?

Major factors include the size of the tank or container to be measured, pressure range, gauge material and connection size & type.

What is the difference between a chain lever water gauge and a pressure gauge?

• The chain lever water gauge relies on the differential height of liquid columns, while a pressure gauge measures pressure using mechanical or electronic sensing elements.
• The chain lever water gauge measures pressure indirectly by comparing liquid levels, whereas a pressure gauge provides a direct measurement of pressure using a calibrated scale or electronic display.
• Chain lever water gauges consist of a U-shaped tube filled with liquid, while pressure gauges have more complex internal mechanisms, such as diaphragms, Bourdon tubes, or electronic sensors.
