High Temperature Selection
SOR level switches can accommodate high-temperature applications up to 1200
o
F (649
o
C).
These temperatures may be safely reached by a proper combination of chamber material, switch
mechanism and temperature extension. Refer to page 52 to select the proper components for your
process temperature.

The straight temperature extension provides physical distance
between the process and the switching mechanism. It is
constructed of a straight piece of pipe welded between the
chamber and enclosing tube connection.
How It Works
The straight temperature extension is designed to remove the
switch from direct radiant heat in dry heat processes. Consult
the chart on page 52 for application.
To Specify
Add Accessory Designator ET to the end of the SOR level
switch model number per the selection chart on the next page.
The ET accessory automatically matches the material and
rating of the specified level switch chamber. This option can
be supplied on SOR level switches Series 100, 200, 300
and 400.

201 A -A1C-B-A1-N4-FE TT
The finned temperature extension is designed to protect the electrical portion of a level switch
from heat damage due to condensing processes. When used in combination with high-temperature switch
mechanisms, this option allows operation in process temperatures up to 1200
o
F (649
o
C).
How It Works
The finned temperature extension condenses process steam and
reduces its heat before it can reach the switching mechanism.
The design reduces steam to its saturation temperature in the
enclosing tube, protecting the switching mechanism from
deterioration due to high temperatures. The process
pressure dictates the saturation temperature, see page 58.
To Specify
Add Accessory Designator FE to the end of the SOR
level switch model number per the selection chart on the
next page.
The finned temp. extension automatically matches the material
and rating of the specified level switch chamber. These options
can be supplied on SOR level switches series 100, 200,108/208,
300 and 400.
Note: For proper cooling, temp. extensions must not be insulated
or placed inside an enclosed structure. High ambient temperatures
(over 100
o
F/38
o
C), intense direct sunlight, or heat loading from
adjacent piping or vessels will affect cooling performance.
Consult the factory if any of these conditions exist.
