Tubular Oil Level Gauge

The tubular oil level gauge consists of stainless steel end fittings and a transparent tube. The end fittings are available in 304 or 316 stainless steel. Acrylic is the standard tube material, offering good visibility and cost efficiency, while borosilicate or quartz glass is available for applications requiring higher temperature or chemical resistance. These optional materials are quoted separately due to higher material and processing costs.

Precision graduations provide clear level readings. Do not clean the tube with alcohol, as this may cause surface haze or cracking. The gauge is widely used for level monitoring in hydraulic oil tanks, oil storage tanks, and other liquid storage vessels.
