Large water tanks are instrumental to the everyday operation of scores of diverse industries. From agriculture and irrigation to waste treatment, manufacturing, and food and beverage processing, water tanks are essential. For most (if not all) industries where large water tanks are key, level sensing is necessary. Liquid level sensors and float switches, in particular, are instrumental in automating and regulating tasks including the following:
High level and overflow detection
Low level and leak monitoring
Managing pumps and inflow devices
And more
If you’re in an industry that relies on water tanks and float switches for water tanks, you need to have the best switches available to ensure reliability and durability.
SMD Fluid Controls offers a wide variety of float switches and other liquid level sensors for use with water tanks in numerous industries. Offering standard and custom solutions including OEM service, SMD Fluid Controls is an internationally recognized leader in liquid level sensing technology.
Horizontal Side-Mount Float Switches
For water tanks and applications where side-mounting is necessary, horizontal float switches are ideal.
FH07 & FH08 – Plastic Side Mount Switches
SMD Fluid Controls’ FH07 and FH08 horizontal float switches are made from durable polypropylene or nylon with easy side mounting through either an NPT fitting or internal through-hole.
Normally open and normally closed configurations are possible.
FH-VIW – Tank Wall Horizontally Mounted Float Switches
This plastic side-mounted float switch offers great dependability and long life at a fraction of the cost of many competing horizontal float switches. The 90-degree float switch design eliminates the problems often encountered with typical “pivot type” side-mounted float switches.
Vertical Top or Bottom-Mount Float Switches
FS01 – Economy Plastic Float Switches
These polypropylene float switches offer dependability at a cost-effective price. List pricing begins at $9.50 and significant quantity discounts are available for those who need multiple float switches.
FS10 – Miniature Stainless Steel Float Level Switches
These 316 stainless steel float switches are corrosion-resistant and ideal for applications where smaller devices are required. Different float configurations allow for greater flexibility and cost options. These are just a few of the standard options available from SMD Fluid Controls.
