Types of level gauges: glycerin, silicon, and halocarbon

　　glycerin. Glycerin is the most commonly used liquid in filling scales. Pressure gauges filled with glycerin are cost-effective and provide good vibration damping effects at room temperature. These pressure gauges work well at temperatures between -4°F and +140°F (-20°C and +60°C).

　　Silicone. Silicone-filled pressure gauges and other similar oils have low viscosity even at very low temperatures; therefore, pressure gauges filled with silicone resin are more suitable for applications with large temperature changes, especially in colder climates and may In the case of icing. Their operating temperature ranges from -40°F to +140°F (-40°C to +60°C).

　　Halocarbon. Level gauges filled with halogenated carbon are more suitable for applications involving oxidants such as chlorine, oxygen, and hydrogen peroxide. They work in the same temperature range as glycerin-filled pressure gauges, i.e. from -4°F to +140°F (-20°C and +60°C).

　　If your application includes electrical accessories, insulating oil will provide you with better protection. Other fluids may be more suitable for your application.
