Available materials Selecting the KM26
• stainless steel—304/304L, 316/316L, 317/317L, Selecting the appropriate KM26 configuration for a specific
321, 347, 904 application is important. Use these questions to determine
• alloy 20 your requirements.
• Hastelloy®—B, C–276
• Alloy 600, 625, 800, 825 What is the process fluid?
• Titanium • specific gravity
• Teflon® (registered trademark of DuPont) coated • operating / design temperature
stainless steel • operating / design pressure
• fiberglass—epoxy or vinyl ester resin • total, interface or dual–level detection
• PVC, CPVC, Kynar®
• polypropylene What are the gauge body details?
• zirconium • material of construction
• monel • maximum pressure & temperature requirement
• for other materials consult factory • necessary level range (liquid level fluctuation; often the
vessel height)
• vent and drain connections (will I be piping into the MLG
— or adding valves?)
Process capabilities
What are the process connection details?

• 0.25 specific gravity • rating
• all liquid viscosities • orientation/position
• interfaces as low as .03 ΔSG
What style of indicator is preferred?
• flag (orange/black, yellow/black, red/white, custom
— colors)
Testing and documentation available • shuttle (also known as follower or birdie) – high visibility

upon request What measuring scale is required?


• level (inches, feet, meters)
• radiographic examination
• volume (gallons, liters, custom)
• liquid dye penetrant examination
• percent
• hydrostatic examination
• PMI (positive material identification) material
What accessories are necessary?
certification
• switch (point–level)
• ASME “U,” “UM,” or “S” stamp
• level transmitter; what communication protocol?
• third party inspection
• frost extension (prevents ice build–up from blocking a
• material certificates
direct view to the indicator)
• ANSI/ASME B31.1, B31.3
• heat tracing (electric or steam)
• PED certification

• mechanical function test
Installation considerations
• float curves (total level only)
• lengths over 12 feet: support brackets to minimize pipe
• ATEX C- constructional safety with non-exotic materials
flex
construction
• lengths over 20 feet: sectionalize (flanged) or one
• EAC TR CU approvals
continuous section (welded)
• IP68 visual indicator (scale assembly)
• structural support types: Gussets or welded support
