Ultra Check - Hollow Floats Systems (Displacer & Radar Type for ATG)

The Hollow Float canister has a weight on the bottom lowering the center of gravity for more vertical stability. On the top of the Hollow Float canister there is a seal that is designed to seal the area between the gauge pole and the float. Mounted above the seal there is a relaxation chamber that helps ensure the displacer is not affected by a sudden movement of the float. i.e., if the float was to catch or drag slightly, when it came free, there would be minimal effect on the displacer. On the top of the relaxation chamber is a bonded rubber gasket.

A separate component of this float system is the “Hat”, which performs two functions: The displacer cable passes through the center of the hat, so that when lowering the displacer, the hat always acts as a guide to ensure that the displacer passes through the center of the Hollow Float and with the displacer at rest on the liquid surface, the hat is sitting on the bonded gasket and seals the float’s center hole. All parts of the Hollow Float system remain in the gauge pole except for the lid, which is raised when the displacer is raised. The weight of the Hat is approximately 89 grams.

The Hollow Float may be used as a Displacer Type Float or a Radar Float by changing the “Hat” to a reflector plate (see Radar float below):

Ultra check’s Hollow Radar Float (Type 1) is used to seal the inside of gauge poles that have an automatic level-measurement device using a Radar system to sense the level of the product.  The “Radar-Type” Hollow Float is designed to seal the gauge pole, act as a secondary stilling well and to allow for gauging by lifting the “reflector plate” and gauging through the center of the float.
