The SOR® family of 1500 series mechanical level switches answerindustry’s call for less expensivealternatives to the traditional chambered switch.

The 1510 Horizontal-mount, float-operated, electric level switch.

The 1540 Horizontal-mount, non-bleed, pneumatic level switch.

The 1530 Horizontal-mount, float-operated, pneumatic level switch.

The 1550 Vertical-mount, float-operated, electric level switch.

The 1520 Vertical-mount, vane-operated electric flow switch.

The 1500s are suitable for most any point level application.• separators • wetscrubbers• suctionscrubbers • sealpots• dehydrators •make-upwater• refrigeration • vaporrecovery• re-injection • overflowprotection• smalldiametervessels • lubeoilreservoirs• high-lowalarm • pumpon-pumpoff• coolingwater • contaminatedwater applications applications

Application: Separators Multipleseparatorsareacommonsightinthenaturalgasindustry.Evenwithrawgaswells,thereisalwayscondensate, water, or some other NGL that needs to be separatedpriortotransportingitforprocessing. Thereareanumberofseparationtechnologiesandall of them require collection of these liquids after separation.Somearesimplegravityseparators,somecan be quite elaborate. Regardless of the separation method, SOR 1500s fit the application.

SOR 1500 series mechanical level switches and a generic, horizontal separator process.
