FuelCheck
®
Probe
Part No. FU-PR-24
The
FuelCheck
®
Probe is readily installed into the pipeline through a full opening valve. Its in-
stallation should ensure constant contact with fluids to ensure instantaneous and positive inter-
face detection.
Probe Construction
The
FuelCheck
®
Probe, part number FU-PR-24, is constructed of heavy-wall ½” OD stainless
steel tubing. Standard probe length is 24” giving an insertion length of 16” from the top of the
valve to the ID of the pipeline. With probe and insertion tool changes, the Probe can be made in
virtually any length so as to
accommodate almost any
installation requirement.
The maximum operating
pressure and temperature
are 1,500 PSI @ 200°F.
The materials of construc-
tion allow for use in all petro-
leum fuels with all known
additives, including MTBE.
The sapphire lens is ex-
tremely resistant to both
chemicals and abrasion
.
The sensor element incor-
porates an o-ring seal with a
Teflon backup seal. The
sensor element cannot be
replaced therefore replacing
the probe will be required if
the probe is moved or
crimped at the wrong loca-
tion on the probe body. The probe incorporates a safety stop which is an 11/16” OD upset
welded onto the probe body to prevent the probe from passing through the process insertion fit-
ting.
