788 Series Differential Pressure Purge Control Level Transmitter

REQUEST A QUOTE VIEW BY PART NUMBER
  • Generates a constant flow of compressed air to purge a downpipe
  • Integral differential pressure transmitter provides 4 mAdc to 20 mAdc output proportional to liquid level
  • All-pneumatic design does not include integral transmitter
  • Provides 1:1 pressure signal to a compatible indicator or external transducer through 1/4 in. airline tubing
  • Holds a fixed pressure differential across a precision orifice to ensure constant flow rate of 1 cfh (cubic foot per hour), making it possible to maintain a linear 1:1 response of the sensing system
  • Backpressure sensed is equivalent to the hydrostatic head pressure due to actual liquid depth

DP Purge control Unit incorporates differential air flow regulator with flow control orifice. Fixed differential set to nominal 10 psid. Output is 1:1 pneumatic pressure (hydrostatic force equivalent). Includes an integral differential pressure (D/P) transmitter converting pneumatic pressure into 4 mAdc to 20 mAdc electronic output. Ranges available: 0 psid to 5 psid, 0 psid to 10 psid to 30 psid, 0 psid to 50 psid,
Flow rate (air purge) Nominal 1 cfh (cubic feet per hour) at specified differential. Maximum air consumption under 5 cfh.
Materials of construction Machined brass body with acrylic semi-gloss enamel finish; integral filter element is aluminum with acrylic semi-gloss enamel finish.

  • Prevents siphoning or backflow of liquid through a downpipe installed in tank level gauging applications
  • Utilizes a specially designed float pin that rises up to seal the valve shut when liquid enters from the downpipe through the bottom of the unit
  • The advantage of a float check is that it doesn’t create a pressure drop that would affect the level gauge reading (Spring-loaded check valves can impact the accuracy of a downpipe or bubbler system if installed at the tank entry point)

NOTE: Not recommended for use with heavy diesel fuel oil or other high viscosity liquids. Installation in conjunction with a gate valve will permit removal of check valve for inspection and cleaning. (We recommend cleaning the check valve once per year to ensure reliability.)

Material: 304 Stainless Steel, Nylon (float), FKM (seals)
Max. Pressure: 150 psig
Inlet/Outlet: 3/4" NPT-female
Weight: 1.2 lb (0.5 kg)
