Pasadena, Calif.— Level switches now have a "slosh shield" to protect floats from damage and improper actuation in tanks and vessels subject to wave action, ripples, and other forms of turbulence. The fabricated brass or stainless steel shield also helps prevent accidental actuation and damage caused by contact with mixing rods and other intrusive instrumentation. Shielded level switches come in single- and multi-stage configurations for top- and side-mounted installations. Barksdale Inc.
