Model LSMM, LTBM, LTSM, LSBM LevelSite® Visual Level Indicator from Barksdale

Model LSMM, LTBM, LTSM, LSBM LevelSite® Visual Level Indicator from BarksdaleOur Alloy LevelSite® Level Indicator provides a reliable, accident-proof solution to your unique level measuring problems. Featuring rugged, welded stainless steel construction, the process media is completely isolated from the instrumentation and rotating flags, eliminating the danger of leaks or spills. Units are virtually maintenance free, and unlike traditional sight glasses do not need to be removed from service for cleaning. Large, easy to read flags can be viewed from over 100 feet away. Each LevelSite® Level Indicator is available in continuous lengths of up to 20 feet or multiple lengths of up to 65 feet. Our Alloy LevelSite® Visual Level Indicator is suitable for use with oil, water, aggressive liquids in oil refineries, chemical process plants, and a wide variety of other industrial applications.

Model LSMM, LTBM, LTSM, LSBM LevelSite® Visual Level Indicator Q & A

+ What is the LevelSite® indicator and how does it work?
The LevelSite indicator is a welded stainless-steel bypass tube with built-in flags that rotate to indicate liquid level. It provides a clear visual of fluid height without relying on a vulnerable glass sight-tube.
+ What fluids and applications is it suitable for?
It supports water, oil and other liquids in industrial systems — for example lube oil consoles, hot water/condensate steam systems, industrial refrigeration, storage tanks, marine applications, and more.
+ What are its standard construction materials and options?
Standard construction is welded stainless steel (for the bypass tube and housing) offering long service life and avoiding broken or cloudy glass. Alternative materials may be available per customer specification.
+ What are the size and length limits?
The indicator is available in lengths up to 10 ft (3 m) for some versions (Mini version) and longer for full sized.
+ How is the flag/visual assembly rated for temperature and environment?

The design is rugged for high-temperatures and industrial use: the stainless steel construction and sealed visual flags are ideal in spaces where sight glasses fail. (Though for exact temperature/pressure ratings one should refer to the detailed spec sheet.)
