Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about Trimod'Besta level switches used in the shipbuilding industry. These switches are trusted for their reliability and are installed in various types of ships, including cargo vessels, tankers, and submarines. The switches are available in electric, electronic, pneumatic, and explosion-proof versions, suitable for underwater applications.
Switch Modules: The switches come with different modules, including electric, electronic, and pneumatic switch elements. They are housed in IP65, IP66/67, and IP68 rated enclosures made from aluminum and stainless steel.
Flange Modules: Flanges are available in square dimensions (92 x 92 mm) and conform to EN/DIN, ANSI, and JIS standards. They are made from stainless steel, Hastelloy C, and plastic, supporting pressures up to ANSI cl. 1500 and EN/DIN PN250.
Float Modules: Designed for low-density liquids, these modules are made from stainless steel, Hastelloy C, and plastic. They are suitable for high-pressure and interface applications and can be used horizontally or vertically.
Applications: Typical applications include fresh and waste water tanks, fuel oil tanks, bilge, lubrication tanks, ballast water tanks, inert gas production, and LPG/LNG tanks.
Product Types: The document details four types of Trimod'Besta level switches, each designed for specific applications such as submersible and pneumatic control. They feature seawater-resistant aluminum housing, stainless steel flanges, and floats, with a nominal pressure of PN 25 and operating temperatures ranging from -30 to 300 °C.
Installation: The simplest installation method involves using standard weld-on counterflanges. Specific types are available for use with test actuators, allowing periodic manual function checks of the level switch.
Test Actuators: These allow testing of the switching element and float movement. They are made from CrNiMo with FPM or EPDM O-rings, operating within a temperature range of -30 to 150 °C and pressure from -1 to 25 bar.
