Water Level Gauge

Simple gauge glass for low pressure duties

Recommended for boiler feedtank applications

Available in lengths up to 2 200 mm

Supplied in modular form for maximum versatility

Description

The Spirax Sarco WG2 level gauge enables an instant visual check

to be made of liquid level in tanks and process vessels.

It consists of a glass tube (plastic also available) mounted in top

and bottom support arms, with packing seals and washers to prevent

leakage and accommodate expansion. The bottom arm incorporates

a three port plug cock to allow isolation and checking of gauge

operation.

An intermediate arm provides additional support and sealing for

gauges with centres longer than 1100 mm, and enables two unequal

length tubes to be used together to give a wide choice of overall

lengths.

Two protector rods mounted either side of the tube reduce the risk

of accidental damage. For greater protection 'C' section protectors

are also available (used with rods).

Limiting conditions

Maximum working pressure (Pmax)

Maximum working temperature (Tmax)

Maximum saturated steam conditions

WG 2 level gauge glasses are designated WG2 followed by /

(centres dimension). Protector rods (in sets of two) and 'C' section

protectors are available in 700, 800, 1000 and 1100 mm lengths.

Two sets are required for gauges with intermediate arms. The

glasses themselves are available in four lengths which may be

paired in the following combinations to give the gauge centre
