3-3.2 Liquid Level Indicator
The optional liquid level indicator consists of a hollow metal
tube inserted into a special fitting in the top of the 125, 200,
350, 600 or 900 lb. FM-200 cylinder. See Table 3-5 for part
number information. The indicator is provided with a gradu-
ated tape which senses the position of a toroidal magnet
encased within an internal float riding on the liquid surface.
The graduations on the tape indicate the liquid level within
the cylinder (see Figure 3-8).
