Abstract
A head-gauge/tank-bladder device for measuring the pressure of liquid within a tank. The invention provides for measuring the tank pressure while maintaining the gauge isolated form the liquid within the tank. The invention is connects a gauge to a fluid filled tank through at least one threaded connection. On the other end of the tube, a bladder is attached. A liquid contained within the tubing transmits the tank fluid pressure to the gauge.
Claims18
A head-gauge/tank-bladder device for measuring the pressure of a liquid within a tank while isolating the head gauge from the liquid contained within the tank, said head-gauge/tank-bladder comprising:
- a head-gauge capable of measuring liquid
- a first nipple with a first end and a second end, the first end connected by a first coupling means to the head-gauge, the second end being inserted into the tank;
- a second nipple having a first end and a second end, the first end connected to the second end of the first nipple by a second coupling means;
- a bladder made of material having elastic characteristics attached to the second end of the second nipple by a third coupling means;
- a cavity defined by the two nipples and the bladder.
