Variable LPG installation kit for liquid gas containers
The Variable LPG Installation Kit has been developed for FAFNIR sensors, in order to measure
the level in LPG tanks in pressure-free area. This allows the sensor to be installed and removed
without having to open the tank at any time and without further mounting work.
The Variable LPG Installation Kit consists of a jacketed pipe with a special LPG float made of
BUNA, a cutting ring fitting with ¾" NPT external thread for process connection, and a com-
pression fitting with PTFE clamping ring for fixing the sensor (see figure below).
