Everybody is looking for an advantage. Business are constantly trying to get a leg up on their competitors on performance, quality, or reliability (or all three!). And it is often in the small things, the details, where these advantages can be won and lost. Float switches are, by nature, small things, but the right float switch can give you tremendous advantages. Take the FS-400 Stainless Steel Vertical Float Switch, for instance. Compared to other float switches, the FS-400 has several advantages. Let’s take a look at three.

Many things in life come with trade-offs, often on a size-versus-functionality continuum. At one end, extreme size dictates reduced functionality; similarly, optimum functionality necessitates specific sizes. This works for vehicles—maximizing for speed or cargo requires size constraints—and it is often the case in level monitoring. However, level monitoring in tight spaces doesn’t have to mean sacrificing quality. The new Series FS-410 Miniature Stainless Steel Vertical Float Switch is made to provide big performance in small spaces.

If you were to look up “versatile” in the dictionary, you might find a picture of APG’s new MNU IS Intrinsically Safe Modbus Ultrasonic Sensor. Ok, you might not yet, but you should, and soon. With features like APG’s new QuickMode, global Class I, Division 1 hazardous location certification, and RS-485/Modbus RTU standard on every unit, the new MNU IS is capable of handling just about any level measurement situation. Let’s take a look.

If you have important material levels that need to be monitored in Class I hazardous areas, you know that safe equipment is a necessity. What starts as a spark here, or a bit of overheated metal over there, can end up as a very loud (and costly) BOOM. APG’s new True Echo™ Series PRX Explosion Proof Pulse Radar Level Transmitter is an excellent choice for safe and reliable level measurements in those hazardous areas. It combines the unparalleled accuracy of radar level measurement with several safety factors. Let’s take a look.
