8900

Application
Gauging LP Gas levels in ASME tanks and DOT Cylinders.

General Information & Features
This series of 1″ NPTF Junior gauges is available with forged brass head.

Now with R3D®
The Rochester Remote Ready Dial, R3D®, is a magnetically-driven, Hall Effect compatible dial. Dials are utilized on stationary applications where direct reading plus an electrical signal to a remote fuel level monitor may be required.

Rochester’s Hall Effect Module is designed to snap-fit into the recess in the Remote Ready Dial lens. Once installed, the module can provide ratiometric voltage output proportional to the liquid volume inside the tank.

Description

General Specifications*

Temperature
Extremes are -40°F to 158°F, -40°C to 70°C.

Working Pressure
375 psig [25,8 Bar]

Accuracy
Accuracy depends upon proper gauge sizing and is typically ±5% of R3D® dial indication. Accuracy may be less due to variations in liquid temperature. Accuracy may be less for some tank shapes and sizes. Accuracy may be less if tank is not level. Accuracy may be less near empty and full. This gauge is not to be used for filling. R3D® dial output voltage is typically ±4% of indicated reading. All accuracy estimates are percent of full scale.

Approvals
Gauge is UL listed for LP Gas service applications.
R3D® Module is UL Classified as intrinsically safe.

When Ordering Specify:

1. Specify tank diameter (shown on tank nameplate).
2. Specify the gauge mounting location.
3. State they type of cylinder, horizontal or vertical.
4. Specify the “H” dimension. This is the distance in inches from the surface of the tank to the top of the threaded opening.

To order replacement gauge, simply furnish the information stamped on the hex wrenching flats as shown on example.
