MLC-80 - Side-Mounted Level Switch
The MLC-80 level controller detects liquid levels in pressurized or atmospheric tanks. It uses an SPDT microswitch actuated by a magnetic field and mounted in a threaded-cover, weatherproof electrical enclosure.
Applications
The MLC-80 is used for reliable liquid level monitoring in marine tanks and similar vessel applications.
Technical Characteristics
- Side-mount or top-mount configuration.
- Different stem lengths available according to project requirements.
- Optional coupling to an operation test valve when requested.
- Standard flanged connection, 92 x 92.
- ASME, DIN, and JIS configurations can be requested when applicable.
Materials and Construction
The MLC-80 is built with naval bronze and type 316 stainless steel for durability in demanding service conditions.
