PVL offers MFS plastics level switches

A PVL product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Oct 10, 2008

Pressure Vacuum Level is offering Riko's MFS plastics level switches.

The switches have a gland at the cable entry point to prevent the ingress of moisture.

A fitting enables a plastic tube to be fitted over the gland, enabling the level switch to meet the requirements of IP65.

Each switch can be configured for normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) contacts by removing and reversing the float.

Riko MFS level switches are compact, lightweight and need little maintenance.

All wetted parts are white polypropylene or black nitrile, plastics that are not-conductive and are resistant to chemical attack and to the growth of bacteria and algae when used in float-switch applications.

The precision plated reed switch contacts are sealed in an inert gas to prevent arcing.

All Riko MFS level switches have unsinkable foamed floats, of nitrile (Buna-N) in the case of the nitrile models, and are available with straight or tapered threads, in versions for 1/8, 1/4 or 1/2in, with types for top or side entry.

The polypropylene models are ideal for applications in water and water-based solutions, as polypropylene does not support the growth of bacteria.

Black nitrile models are best for oils, hydrocarbons and other liquids with a low specific gravity.
