ORDERING INFORMATION

For ASME Horizontal Cylinder Tanks For Above-Ground Service
 
1. Determine gauge and head size and material. The following choices exists:
A. Junior aluminum bolted head, 2 1/32" [51.6mm] bolt circle
B. Junior brass bolted head, 2 1/32" [51.6mm] bolt circle
C. Senior aluminum bolted head, 2 1/2" [63.5mm] bolt circle
D. Senior brass bolted head, 2 1/2" [63.5mm] bolt circle
E. 1 1/4" NPTF threaded Junior zinc head
F. 1 1/4" NPTF threaded Junior brass head
G. 1 " NPTF threaded Junior zinc head
H. 1 " NPTF threaded Junior brass head

2. Specify tank diameter

3. Specify gauge mounting location
A. Top B. End or side at centerline C. Angle

4. If the gauge is angle mounted:
A. If on the tank end, state head shape (hemispherical or semi-ellipsodial)
B. Specify the degree of angle from centerline, or
C. Specify the distance in inches from the horizontal centerline vertically to the center of the gauge opening

5. Specify the "H" dimension, the height of the riser. This is the distancein inches from yhe top of the coupling or flange to the outside surface of the tank.

Ordering duplicate or replacement gauges may be simplified by referring to the numbering code on the side of the gauge head.

3. Specify height of the cylinder (not including foot ring)
4. Specify the distance from the center of the gauge opening to the outside wall of the cylinder
5. Specify the "H" dimension, the measurement from the highest point of the cylinder head to the top of the coupling or flange
