Prism Gauge: Dual-Color Warning Optical Oil Level Monitoring System

The prism gauge employs optical refraction principles to monitor oil levels without requiring an external power supply, ensuring long-term stable operation. Its robust construction suits both high and low-temperature environments, and meets stringent precision requirements for equipment like transformers. When the oil level drops, changes in light refraction paths within the viewing window cause the front-facing dual-color rubber indicator strip to shift from black to red, visually indicating a low oil level status, thereby enhancing safety and reliability.
