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, pneumatic, explosion-proof, and underwater variants.
Switch Modules: The switches come with different modules, including electric, electronic, pneumatic, and explosion-proof options. They are housed in IP65, IP66/67, and IP68 rated enclosures made from aluminum and stainless steel.
Flange Modules: Flanges are available in square and standard sizes conforming 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 and high-pressure applications, these modules can be used horizontally or vertically and are made from stainless steel, Hastelloy C, and plastic.
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 lists several types of Trimod'Besta level switches, each designed for specific applications such as submersible, pneumatic control, general purpose, and contaminated media. Key specifications include nominal pressure, operating temperature, ambient temperature, medium density, and safety integrity level (SIL).
Installation: The simplest installation method involves using standard weld-on counterflanges. Specific types are recommended for use with test actuators, allowing periodic manual function checks of the level switch.
Technical Specifications: Detailed specifications are provided for various components, including flange length, material, stud material, and operating pressure. The document also specifies the temperature range and pressure ratings for test actuators.
