Abstract
A density monitoring assembly for use in monitoring the gas density within a high voltage circuit breaker tank is disclosed. The density monitoring assembly is coupled directly to an exterior surface of said tank and provides electrical signals indicative of the density of gas within the tank. The assembly comprises a cover that encloses the density monitoring device. The device itself is used to retain the cover. A ball valve and a shraeder type valve are provided to allow testing of the device.
