Gems SureSite® Level Indicators

SureSite® Mini-Alloy Visual Level Gauges

Product Overview

Engineered for environments where space is at a premium, the SureSite® Mini-Alloy Visual Level Gauge boasts a streamlined 1-1/4 inch (32 mm) diameter profile. This advanced indicator delivers highly visible, external fluid monitoring, making it the perfect safety upgrade to replace fragile, legacy sight glasses.

Optimized specifically for clean, low-viscosity fluids, the Mini-Alloy series ensures dependable, highly accurate level detection even in the most restricted installation footprints.

Key Benefits

  • Ultra-Compact Design: The slim 32 mm (1-1/4 in) build seamlessly integrates into tight spaces and constrained layouts.
  • Enhanced Visibility: Provides a clear, highly readable external indication of your system’s liquid levels.
  • Modern Sight Glass Replacement: Eliminates the safety risks, clouding, and maintenance issues associated with outdated glass tubes.
  • Application Focus: Purpose-built to deliver reliable, long-lasting performance in clean, low-viscosity liquid applications.
Gems Mini SureSite® Visual Level Indicator (Alloy Versions – Miniature Size) Technical Specifications

*Dimensions vary due to connections, material and specific gravity. Additional materials, floats, connections and manufacturing techniques are available to extend lengths and operational capabilities — contact Gems if these parameters do not meet requirements.

 

● PHYSICAL / CONSTRUCTION
Housing Diameter1-1/4″.
Housing Material316 Stainless Steel.
Flag MaterialPlastic, rated to 300°F (148.9°C), or Aluminum, rated to 400°F (204°C). (Note: the Product Check List order form on this datasheet separately lists aluminum flags as usable to 750°F / 399°C — confirm rating with factory for the specific configuration ordered.)
Length of Indication (Uninterrupted)240″ (610 cm) maximum.
O-Ring Seal MaterialViton® standard; Ethylene Propylene or others available upon request.

 

● PERFORMANCE / RATINGS
Pressure / Temperature RatingRated to 400 PSI at temperatures up to approximately 300°F, derating from 400 PSI down to approximately 373 PSI as temperature rises from 300°F to 400°F (maximum 400°F). See datasheet chart for the full pressure/temperature curve; consult factory for requirements outside these parameters. Indicators are also available for temperatures as low as -200°F (-129°C).
Minimum Specific Gravity0.7.

 

● OPTIONS
Add-On InstrumentationEither Switch Modules or a Continuous Output Transmitter can be used on a Miniature SureSite Indicator — not both. Transmitter signal is conditioned for compatibility with most electronic instruments, to 300°F (149°C).
Other OptionsElectropolished outer diameter (OD) and/or inner diameter (ID) housings available upon request; indicating scales for graduated flag indication.

● HOW TO ORDER
This series is custom-configured per application rather than sold under fixed catalog part numbers. Complete the “Product Check List” (RFQ form) specifying: process conditions (operating/max pressure, operating/max temperature, liquid media, specific gravity, viscosity, indoor/outdoor location); mounting configuration type (AM, BM, CM or DM); connection codes for all 4 positions (T, Sa, Sb, B); length of visual indication (L, 240″ max.) and connection-to-connection dimension (C to C); flag type (Plastic or Aluminum) and O-ring material (Viton® standard, or Ethylene Propylene); and any accessories required (Switch Modules — SPST/SPDT/DPDT 120VAC/DPDT 24VDC; Indicating Scales — Feet and Inches/Inches/Metric/Custom; Continuous Transmitter — 0–5VDC/0–12VDC/4–20mA).
