Inflatable | Inflatable liquid-level floats are elastomeric, ruggedized components designed to expand and round-out with the introduction of a medium (usually air). They are used as a simple visual indicator for monitoring liquid levels and sometimes as a sunlight-blocker in water and other process or industrial fluid applications. | ||
Instrument | Instrument liquid-level floats are buoyant components specifically engineered for integration with industrial, process, and scientific liquid-level monitoring and visual sight-indication fluid applications. | ||
Float Arm | Float arm liquid-level floats are components designed to actuate a mechanical switch - either un-powered or powered - by following the fluid-level of a contained volume of liquid. They are used in both simple home plumbing applications, like toilet water tanks, and in more complex industrial applications. | ||
Float Cable / Cable Support | The liquid-level cable float is designed to suspend electrical lines over bodies of water or other fluids. | ||
Sight Flow Indication | The sight flow liquid-level float is a component used in a system for visual-indication and for process-monitoring applications. | ||
Sump Pump | The liquid-level float is a buoyancy component for actuating a switch in a home or industrial liquid-purge system. | ||
UV Resistant / Outdoor Use | The liquid-level float is used to protect a liquid from harmful light sources including the sun, and is often made of a dark-colored material that resists UV damage. Municipal water supplies are an example application. | ||
Valve Component | Valve liquid-level floats are fluid-compatible sub-components in engineered valve-assemblies like gasoline carburetors or float valves. | ||
Other | Other liquid-level float type not already described. | ||

Geometry | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Cylindrical | The liquid-level float is provided in the shape of a cylinder. | ||
Hemispherical | The liquid-level float is provided in the shape of a hemisphere. | ||
Oblong | The liquid-level float is provided in an oblong shape. | ||
Rectangular | The liquid level float is provided in the shape of a rectangle. | ||
Spherical | The liquid level float is provided in the shape of a sphere. | ||
Hollow | The liquid-level float is provided with an outer-wall of a defined thickness appropriate for application buoyancy and pressure requirements. | ||
Solid | The liquid level float does not have a hollow center and has a material density that allows it to become buoyant in its intended application liquid. | ||
Other | Other liquid-level float geometry not already described. | ||

Connection | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Internal Connection | The liquid-level float has internal threads or a connecting interface underneath its outer-surface. | ||
Hex Spud | At its outer surface, the liquid-level float has a protruding hexagonal interface that is usually threaded. | ||
Round Spud | At its outer surface, the liquid-level float has a protruding cylindrical interface that is usually threaded. | ||
None (Free-Floating) | The liquid-level float has a smooth outer surface and does not require a connection to function in its intended application. | ||
Other | Other connection type not already described. | ||

Material | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Plastic | Plastic materials are organic, synthetic, or processed polymers of varying densities and chemical properties that are supplied in common liquid-level float shapes. They typically consist of thermoplastic or thermosetting resins and can be made into many forms. | ||
Metal | Metals materials - including alloys - are any of various opaque, fusible, ductile, and typically lustrous substances that are good conductors of electricity and heat, form cations by loss of electrons, and yield basic oxides and hydroxides. Metals used for liquid-level floats typically have high toughness (i.e., a combination of high strength and ductility). | ||
