摘要

A level sensing apparatus for attachment to a sounding tube in order to measure levels of contents in a tank. This level sensing apparatus includes a housing for enclosing the various components of the level sensing apparatus. The level sensing apparatus of the present invention also includes a sounding tube adapter operatively connected to the housing and is further adapted for attachment to a sounding tube. Additionally, the sounding tube adapter includes an orifice disposed through its sidewall. The sounding tube adapter also includes a cover which can seal off the orifice, or may be opened to allow manual liquid level measurement.
