On-site glass plate level gauge
Thread Content
The valves of glass plate level gauges all contain a steel ball – what is the specific function of this steel ball? The media used in many of our applications contain some impurities, which make them prone to clogging. How should this be dealt with?
. . I remember my master telling me that, but I’ve forgotten for the moment. It seems to be intended to prevent the glass plate from breaking; the safety balls can seal the valve openings by being pushed there by the pressure inside the container. It’s best not to remove the beads, especially in areas where the medium is particularly hazardous. The manufacturing process at the factory where I work now prefers to get rid of those balls.
We are an oil refinery, and at our facility, removing the steel balls is also useless at the moment.
This is a leak-proof device; when the pressure exceeds a certain level, it is sealed off by steel balls. However, it hinders drainage; I thought it was blocked.
The small steel ball is used as a protective device! ! ! When the glass plate three-way valve is in use, it must be kept fully open; this is because when the glass plate breaks, the small steel balls, under pressure, cut off the flow of the medium, thereby preventing excessive leakage of the medium If the glass plate breaks, the process medium will leak; without this small steel ball, the medium will flow out directly. If it’s toxic gas... then 【END】
Thank you all, dear sea friends; I’ve learned some new things again. I couldn’t find this information online, so thanks once more!
It seems that removing it is the only way to solve your problem~\(≧▽≦)/~ La la la
How do I get this out? It seems to be sealed inside.
From a security perspective, it’s better to keep **. As for the issue of blockage caused by impurities, backwashing with a clean medium can be used.
