nnPressure sustaining (for 450-82) – 453-82
The Model FP 450-82 senses the static head of the water level in the tank by means of a high sensitivity altitude pilot valve.
To do so accurately, the sensing tube end must be connected to a “still point” at the bottom of the tank.
The drainage pipe provides this “still point”, a location not influenced by flow velocity as with the filling and outflow pipes.
In firewater reservoirs, the water level should be kept as constant as possible, with a highly accurate altitude pilot valve the Model FP 450-82 is well suited to fulfill this requirement.
The altitude pilot is highly sensitive to changes and accurately maintains the reservoir water level to within a few centimeters.
