Levelstate Systems manufacture all its water columns onsite in England. All weld procedures are 3rd party witnessed by Royal & Sun Alliance (formerly British Engine). All stages of manufacture from tackup to pressure testing is overseen by RSA.

 

Type 501

The Levelstate side arm water column is made of large bore thick walled carbon steel extruded section conforming to ASTM A105. The seamless section design and fabrication meets the requirement of ASME B31.1 Power Piping Code.

The water column is designed to promote condensatnio of saturated steam with minimum loss of temperature. Circulating condensate in the water column flushes the vessel and probes continuously. This prevents buildup of sediment and eliminates the need for periodic blow down.

Specification

Rating: 150 bar at 341°C (2175 psi at 645°F)

Hydrostatic test at 225 bar (3265 psi) ambient temperature

Design standard ASME B31.1 Power Piping Code.

Type 503

The large bore thick walled carbon steel extruded water column promotes condensate circulation. Continuous change of fluid maintains minimum difference in temperature between water column and boiler drum water. This substantially minimizes error due to density differential. As a result level monitoring is accurate from cold start up to normal operation.

The clamp plate design water column has a long life, as there is no exposed threaded nipple susceptible to mechanical damage and galling.

Maintainance is simple and involves replacement of gaskets only. Absence of metal to metal contact ensures long probe life.

Specification

Rating: 207 bar at 370°C (3000 psi at 700°F)

Hydrostatic test at 310 bar (4500 psi) ambient temp

Design standard ASME B31.1 Power Piping Code.

Type 502

The Type 502 water column is made of seamless pipe fabricated with Swagelok type high pressure compression fittings. The design is available in 12, 14, 16and 32 port versions for use with Type 201, 202 and 203 electronic units with a minimum probe pitch of 25mm.
