This type of float gauge has a float ranging
in size up to 12 inches
in diameter and is used where
small level limitations imposed by ball floats
must be exceeded. The range of level measured
will be limited only by the size of the vessel.
The operation of the chain float is similiar
to the ball float except in the method of positioning
the pointer and in its connection to the
position indication. The float is connected to a
rotating element by a chain with a weight attached
to the other end to provide a means of keeping
the chain taut during changes in level (Figure
A1).
