Density Float Kits

Density Float Kits

With density float kits, EVO™ Series fuel management systems have the ability to continuously monitor the density of fuel stored in underground and aboveground storage tanks. The same magnetostrictive probe that provides inventory management and leak detection capabilities can also supply product density and mass without the addition of extra probes or sensors. Programmable high and low density alarm points allow the user to determine the range of acceptable density fluctuations. 

  • Designed for applications involving 4" riser pipes.
  • Each float set contains a product, density and water float.
  • Available in Standard (3 kg/m3 accuracy) or Precision (1 kg/m3 accuracy) models.
  • Floats are constructed of nitrile rubber and PVDF. Precision model density floats are also nickel plated.
  • Water and product floats are colored red for gasoline and blue for diesel.
  • Density and product floats are calibrated and must be maintained as a set.
  • Measurement accuracy: ±3.0 kg/m3
  • Measurement resolution: ±0.1 kg/m3
  • Minimum detectable product level with water float: 10.70”
  • Minimum detectable product level without water float: 6.70”

Theory of Operation

Density measurement is based on the distance between the calibrated product and density floats. As the density of the fuel changes, the gap between the floats will increase or decrease in proportion to the change. The tank gauge receives this information from the probe and uses it to calculate and display the current density of the fuel.

Model Number Description
TSP-IDF4D3 Standard diesel/fuel oil density float kit
TSP-IGF4D3 Standard gasoline density float kit
  • Order one density measurement float kit for each magnetostrictive probe. Probes used with density float kits must have serial numbers greater than 6000000.
