Liquid level sender with adjustable counterweight

摘要

A liquid level sending unit for indicating liquid level within a container includes a mounting base adapted for mounting on a wall of a container, a support member extending from the mounting base, a float arm pivotally mounted to the support member about a pivot axis, a float connected to the float arm on one side of the pivot axis, a first counterweight located on one side of the pivot axis, and a second adjustable counterweight located on an opposite side of the pivot axis. The second counterweight is adjusted along a length of the float arm until a predetermined buoyancy weight of the float is achieved for a particular liquid to be measured.

1. A liquid level sending unit for indicating liquid level within a container, comprising:
a mounting base adapted for mounting on a wall of a container; a support member extending from the mounting base; a float arm pivotally mounted to the support member about a pivot axis; a float connected to the float arm for pivoting movement therewith; a first counterweight connected to the float arm; and a second counterweight connected to the float arm, the second counterweight being adjustable along the float arm to either increase or decrease a distance between the pivot axis and the second counterweight to thereby vary a buoyancy weight of the float for a particular liquid to be measured.
