General information
CESARE BONETTI Company has been manufacturing level
gauges since their origin. This product has been our industrial
speciality in Italy and all over the world since the twenties.
This catalogue describes our glass level gauges, whereas our
magnetic level gauges are shown in a separate bulletin.
When you only state the operating conditions, namely:
fluid
working pressure
working temperature
we are able to supply the most suitable level gauge from both the
points of view functionality and price.
There are three basic types of glass level gauges:
reflex
transparent
bicolour.
BONETTI reflex level gauges (Fig. 701)
Working principle:
The liquid level is distinguished by the different brightness of the
reflex glass in the water or in the steam space. in fact, where there
is liquid in contact with the glass, the incidental light is refracted to
the inside of the gauge and absorbed; in the steam space, the
incidental light is reflected against the glass grooves and the glass
appears very bright (Fig. 701).
Applications:
Reflex level gauges can be used in most of application and offer
great advantages in terms of:
low initial cost
low operating cost
easy level reading
Reflex level gauges cannot be used in certain cases as for example:
when the separation level between two liquids has to be read
(interface);
when besides the level indication, the observation of the liquid
colour is required;
when the process fluid is high-pressure water steam, since in
this case the glass must be protected from the solvent action of
the boiler water by using mica shields;
when the process fluid is such that can corrode the glass (e.g.
high temperature alkaline solutions or hydrofluoric acid), since
mica shields or Polytrifluorochloroethylene shields must be
used to protect the glass.
BONETTI transparent level gauges (Fig.702 and 703)
Working principle:
Apart from glass tube level gauges, transparent level gauges are
always fitted with two plate transparent glasses between which the
fluid is contained. The fluid level is indicated as the result of the different transparency of the two media (Fig. 702) and in some cases
(for water steam), by conveying upwards on to the surface of separation (between liquid and gaseous substances) a source of light
(Fig. 703) located at the back of the gauge, the rays of which are
totally reflected down to the observer.
Applications:
Transparent level gauges are suitable for almost all installations.
In fact they permit:
the use of mica shields or Polytrifluorochloroethylene shields to
protect the glass from the corrosive action of the process fluid;
the observation of interface;
the observation of the liquid colour.

BONETTI bicolour level gauges (Fig. 704)

Working principle:
The two opposite glasses fitted into these bicolour level gauges
are not parallel to each other. By means of a suitable illuminator
into which a red and a green screens are fitted,
the portion of visible length occupied by steam appears red
whereas
the portion of visible length occupied by water appears green.
The level reading is very easy even at a considerable distance.
The reading of the bicolour level gauges is not affected by the
blind spaces between one port-hole and the successive one (Fig.
704). Details on page 224-25.
Applications:
Their main application is on high pressure steam boilers.
BONETTI bicolour level gauges with parallel glasses (Fig. 812)
Working principle:
It is a variation of transparent level gauges, however equipped with
two reflex glasses and a back illuminator, fitted with suitable
coloured filters. The sharp reading is given by the contrast between
the bright colour (usually: red) of filters in the lower part containing
liquid and the colour of upper part of visible window (Fig. 812).
Applications:
These level gauges are particularly suitable for liquids:
colourless,
very fluid,
non-corrosive for glasses (e.g. ammoniacal solutions, trichloroethylene, water steam up to 32 bar, etc.).
Remote Reading Level Gauges, type ITT-RDR
Now these level gauges are not frequently requested because
Magnetic Remote Reading Level Gauges are preferred (specific
bulletin on request).
Nevertheless they are appreciated and we still produce them.
The system includes: drum connections, condensate pot, downward connection pipes, operating device, down gauge body.
Usually bodies type BT29 or BT33 are used.
Further details on request.
Request of Offer and Order
The above descriptions are given as general information on the
possible uses of BONETTI level gauges.
However the characteristics of the plant by same performances
should guide the planner towards a well defined type of level
gauge, that is most suitable for the purpose.
Guide elements can be:
pressure, temperature, colour, viscosity, density, corrosion
power of the process fluid,
environmental conditions as dangerous area, indoor or outdoor,
corroding atmosphere, etc.
Therefore when enquiring about level gauges or when placing order the following information must be supplied:
type of the process fluid
maximum working pressure
maximum working temperature
centre to centre distance between the vessel connections (or
visible length required)
type of connections (flanged, threaded, etc.) and standard (UNI,
ASME, BS, DIN, AFNOR, GOST, etc.) according to which they
are required
optionals requested: see

Material Schedule
SPECIAL
The tag indicating the type of the level gauge consists of two
parts that define:
the type of the level gauge body
the type of the set of valves.
The level gauges having their tag followed by a Z are special constructions. They are suitable for operating conditions
different than the ones shown in Fig. 864 for the corresponding standard type.
03
Application
Corrosive fluids and/or fluids

at temperature lower than
45,6 C (50 F)
For some types of level gauges we have normally available components made of different nuances of AISI 316,
Monel 400 (ASTM B164 - Class A), Hastelloy B, Hastelloy C, Incoloy 825, Carpenter 20 CB 3, Nickel, Titanium,
Ebonite, PVC, Polypropylene, PTFE. Apply to us for other materials.
Remarks
In Fig. 706 is indicated the material of the piston for the set of
valves type GP11 and GP12. For a detailed list of material
currently employed on shut-off valves, refer to tables shown
on the pages illustrating the level gauges valves (from page
27 to page 33)
For type BR13-G51, the ASME rating is an indication only.
10
The nominal passage diameter in the BONETTI level gauges

is 10 mm, if not otherwise indicated. Only the gauge bodies
type BR25 and BT25 have a large chamber with 40 mm
inside diameter and are usually used where the medium boils
surges.
Types BR26, BR27, BT26, BT27 are manufactured for ASME

600 rating. Anyway the operating conditions must take into
consideration the vessel project, the welding difficulties on
the vessel of the level gauge body and especially that there
are no shut-off fittings.
11
The ASME ratings and the operating conditions shown in Fig.

864 refer to size 9. For smaller sizes the operating conditions
an be higher. See diagrams on each description page or
apply to us.
The type BTV-GP11 is equipped with a glass transparent

tube. Because of its brittleness this level gauge can be used
with dangerless fluids only, although in presence of glass
protector.
12
In case the level gauge must be fitted directly on a steam

boiler drum, please state it clearly.
13
Most of Figures show the level gauges fitted with the Sets
type GP11, GP12 (Fig. 834 page 29). They can also be fitted
with Sets G41, G42, GS41, GS42 (see pages 30 and 31). In
the latter case the level gauges identification tag changes
after the hyphen, e.g. from BR24-GP11 to BR24-G41. The
maximum operating conditions, ratings and applications are
a function of the gauge body, therefore Fig. 864 and 706 are
still valid.
14
In case of fluid corrosive for the glass, please refer to our

Technical department to define maximum allowable tempeature and glass protection.
The classification shown in the column ASME ratings

could be modified by temperature operating condition, due to
the maximum limit temperature suitable for the glass
according DIN
7081/199-05. As shown in the Table
of Fig. 864 the maximum operating conditions are generally
higher than those of ASME rating. Apply to us for further
information.
The ASME ratings and the operating conditions shown in Fig.
864 refer to standard materials as carbon steel, stainless
steel, Hastelloy and to standard glass joints. When special
materials (Monel, Nickel, Ebonite, PVC, etc.) and/or special
joints (pure PTFE, Kel-F, etc.) are required, the maximum
operating conditions have to be verified.
In Fig. 706 are indicated the main Material schedules
currently manufactured. Boldface are given the ones of major
diffusion.

Connections between gauge and valves are made by end tues

and stuffing boxes.
According to the position of the shut-off valves compared with

the gauge body, the level gauge is named right-handed or
left-handed. Fig. 836.1 shows a left-handed gauge. Each
level gauge can be assembled right-handed or left-handed.
Usually two level gauges (1 right and 1 left) are installed on
steam vessels.
According to some Steam Boiler Regulations, the visible

length of the level gauges installed on steam boilers must be
not shorter than a fixed length. Therefore the suitability of the
smaller sizes must be checked.
When ordering a level gauge please state:

Centre to centre distance between connections (CC)
Standard, Size and Finishing of connections
Whether right-handed or left-handed.
Flanges are finished to customer prescriptions. Please state:

Standard
Size
Pressure class
Finishing
The inside passage through the gauge is 10 mm.
Instead of flanges, connections can be delivered with
threaded ends. Standard is 3/4 NPT, union. Other Standard

These gauge bodies are suitable for welding directly on the

vessel. Therefore, no valves can be fitted between vessel and
gauge, and incase of glass breakage, the fluid flowing from
the vessel cannot be stopped.
It is necessary to control the suitability of the vessel wall, on
which the gauge body is to be welded as this must not be
excessively weakened by the holes or communicating window
with the gauge. Steel plates to strengthen the vessel wall
should be used whenever this is possible.
During the welding operation, be careful to not expose the

gauge body for long time to high temperatures, as this might
damage the flatness of the glass sealing surface.
For BR26 the connecting lip is provided to facilitate the welding operation.
When enquiring or ordering BR27 please state the external

radius (R) of the vessel on which the gauge must be welded.
For visible lengths over 320 mm two or more single gauge

bodies will have to be welded on the vessel. In this case it is
advisable to fit the gauge bodies not along the same vertical
line, but offset.
BR26 and BR27 are fitted with reflex glasses type B (see page
38).

Type BTV-GP11 level gauges are equipped with a transparent

glass tube of 16 mm outside diameter. The limitation of the
operating conditions is due to the glass tube, while the valves
type GP11 are suitable for higher pressure and temperature.
As the glass tubes are usually found on sale up to a maximum

standard length of about 2000 mm, when the centre to centre
distance is longer than this size, the installation of several,
cascade disposed level gauges or the application of an intermediate support with stuffing-boxes are necessary. In the latter case the length of each glass tube will be half the centre to
centre distance minus 17 mm.

Type BT25-GP12 level gauge is LARGE CHAMBERED. The

gauge body is machined from a tube having thick wall and
internal of about 40 mm. Large chamber level gauges
should be used where the medium boils or surges.
Connections between gauge and valves are made by NPT

screwed nipples. Minimum CC distance, shown on table is
referred to 1/2 NPT connections. On request 3/4 NPT connection can be supplied.
03 According to the position of the shut-off valves compared with

gauge can be assembled right-handed or left-handed.

When large chamber body is required with butt-welding end

caps, length of body (B) and minimum C. to C. (CC min) have
to be increased of 40 mm.

Type BC24 - BC28
Design and working principle

BONETTI bicolour level gauges are made of:
1 metallic centre piece containing steam and water of which
level is to be measured;
1 or more flat transparent glasses (long or circular) on the
front face of the gauges;
an equal number of identical glasses on the back face of the
gauge;
1 or more front covers and an equal number of back covers
holding the glass assemblies against the centre piece;
1 illuminator case containing LED lamps of two colour (normally green and red);
1 set of shut-off valves for connection to boiler or tank.
Fig. 825.1
Type BC33
Fig. 825.2
Type BC32
For the same operating conditions, we produce both transparent and bicolour level gauges, (see Fig. 824, 825.1 and
825.2).
Dimensions (Body length, C to C Distance according to the
different type of valve sets, etc.), Description and Maintenance Instructions of the Bicolour Level Gauges are identical
to those of the corresponding Transparent Level Gauge.

The bicolour level gauge has a trapezoidal body and consequently the front and the back glasses are non-parallel.
They form a small angle. This special assembly and the different
index of refraction of water and steam allows that the red and the
green light of the illuminator entering the gauge passes through
the gauge itself and is seen by the observer as follows:
RED in correspondence of STEAM
GREEN in correspondence of WATER.
Application
Bicolour level gauges are manufactured by our Company since
more than 70 years. At the beginning only port-hole level gauges
were produced (that is with small circular glasses) suitable for
high pressure water/steam, up to 225 bar (see BONETTI level
gauges type BC1-G55). For these severe conditions the small circular glasses are absolutely necessary and cannot be substituted
by other types of glasses.
In the recent year bicolour gauges have been very much appreciated because of the brilliant and sure reading they give and therefore they are more and more requested for low and medium pressure water/steam also, for which long glasses can safely be used.
In case of combined level gauges, with the bicolour reading it is
not necessary to use side bodies for the uninterrupted visibility,
allowing a simplification of the instrument.

In particular the circular glasses appear:

- RED in correspondence of STEAM
- GREEN in correspondence of WATER
The level can be:
- read by observer standing directly IN FRONT of the level
gauge, at the same height of body,
or it can be outfitted with:
- special periscope mirrors able to transmit the signal to the
control station by means of a simple periscopic
arrangement with mirrors. The mirrors (both top and bottom) adjustable to assist alignment,
- closed TV circuit, also transmitting a 420 mA signal
- Red Cherry optics-fiber system: this system can transmit
the red and green light signal to the control station by
means of fiber-optic remote viewing device.
Ask for peculiar bulletin. Needs of each plant should be known
before stating supplying
The standard illuminator is explosion-proof and consists of a

stainless steel box containing red and green LED lamps, is
suitable for the number of port holes and is suitable for 110240 V AC @ 50/60Hz or 18-36 V DC power supply. The illuminator is slotted so as to fit into the level gauge centre piece.
The red line of LED lamps must be placed in correspondence
of the narrow side of the gauge body; the green line on the
wide side. In this way the view of red steam and green water
will be produced. We recommend to use only original
BONETTI illuminator as spare.
We manufacture BC1 gauges with adequate number of port

holes on one single centre piece. Shorter or longer visible
length than those listed in the table can be supplied on
request.
Centre to centre distance (CC) shown on table are referred to

bodies with holes having standard pitch of 73 mm. To meet
special visibility request, different pitch length can be supplied.

According to the right or left position of the handwheel of the
stop valves on the gauge body, the level gauges are named
right-handed or left-handed. Fig. 860 shows a left-handed
level gauge. Usually two level gauges (1 right and 1 left) are
installed on steam vessel.

- Centre to centre distance between connections (CC)
- Standard, Size and Finishing of connections
- Whether right-handed or left-handed.
This level gauge consists of one gauge type BC1, and one set
of valves type G55. It MUST be installed with the gauge body
in vertical position. G55 set is connected to a vertical pipe,
which links upper and bottom gauge parts. It avoid condensate to flow through gauge body therefore granting better visibility and longer life of glasses. Gauge body is connected to
pipe/valve assembly through two flanges and can be easily
removed for inspection and service.

The inside passage through the gauge is at least 12,5 mm.
Instead of flanges, connections can be delivered with welding

ends (Socket welding or Butt welding). Please state connecting dimensions, size and Standard.
This gauge consists of a central body type BC1 and a certain

number of covers attached to the front and the back of the
body: the covers contain small circular glasses. Central body
is manufactured of stainless steel for a longer life of the whole
instrument. The illuminator is fitted and has bicolour LED
lamps, half red and half green. The illumination of the gauge
is based on the difference of refractive indexes of steam and
water. The light source projects its rays through the adjacent
coloured filter and in the steam and water spaces these
coloured light rays are refracted to a different degree depending upon the refractive index of the medium. This permits only
one colour of light to emerge from each medium, the other
being absorbed in the wall of the gauge.
10 BC1 gauges are fitted with transparent glass discs (Dia. 31,6
x 12,7 mm). Dimensions of joints and mica and Maintenance

These gauge bodies are suitable for welding directly on the

vessel. Therefore, no valves can be fitted between vessel and
gauge, and in case of glass breakage, the fluid flowing from
the vessel cannot be stopped.
It is necessary to control the suitability of the vessel wall, on
which the gauge body is to be welded as this must not be
excessively weakened by the holes or communicating window
with the gauge. Steel plates to strengthen the vessel wall
should be used whenever this is possible.
During the welding operation, be careful to not expose the

gauge body for long time to high temperatures, as this might
damage the flatness of the glass sealing surface.
For BT26 the connecting lip is provided to facilitate the welding operation.
When enquiring or ordering BT27 please state the external

radius (R) of the vessel on which the gauge must be welded.
For visible lengths over 320 mm two or more single gauge

bodies will have to be welded on the vessel. In this case it is
advisable to fit the gauge bodies not along the same vertical
line, but offset.
BT26 and BT27 are fitted with transparent glasses type B (see
page 38).

General information
These are the classical cocks for level gauges having a cylindrical plug
with soft tightening packing sleeve.
The advantages of this design are:
- circular through flow passage;
- very long life of body and plug, since the elastic packing sleeve is
interposed between this two pieces;
- no sensitivity to changes of temperature;
- no possible plug seizure;
- best performance at high temperature;
- possibility to restore tightness during service by compressing packing
sleeve;
- complete interchangeability of worn pieces.
Fig. 737-738
Type G11/G12
Each set is usually supplied with or without some optionals according to its original
design and its main application.
EXTERNAL HEATING has electrical or steam tracing, installed on job site.

By INTERNAL HEATING gauge body is inside traced for heating fluid.
All sets can be supplied with INTERMEDIATE SUPPORT fitted on the vessel in the
middle between top and bottom valve in case of very large C. to C. distance.
Intermediate support usually clamps the gauge bodies only and is not in connection
with the vessel inside.
Optionals for gauge bodies on pages 36 and 37.
Offset Valves type G11 and G12

suitable for ASME 300 and PN 40 (type G11)
suitable for ASME 900 and PN 160 (type G12)
These set are suitable for:
- type G11 (connection to gauge by stuffing box) Fig. 737;
ASME Class 300 and PN 40
- type G12 (connection to gauge by screwed nipples) Fig. 738
ASME Class 900 and PN 160
Handles and plug are made so that each handle face downward when
the gauge is in service, that is when shut-off (top and bottom) are open
and drain cock is closed.
According to the right or the left position of the shut-off cocks handle,
the set (and therefore the level gauge) is named right handed or left
handed.
Centre to Centre distance
When these sets of cocks are chosen for the level gauge, the value of
the minimum vessel C. to C. distance is given from the formula:
- type G11: min. C. to C. = Length of body + 101 mm
(CC min. = B + 101 mm); exceptionally CC min = B + 92 mm
- type G12: min. C. to C. with 1/2 NPT nipples = Length of body + 50 mm
(CC min = B + 50 mm)
Optionals
- Double ended handle for chain operating;
- Automatic safety ball check with removal device for bottom ball

suitable for ASME 2500 and PN 400
General information
These sets of valves consist of metallic seating valves.
Each set is generally composed by:
- 2 shut-off valves sized 1 (1 top and 1 bottom)
- 1 drain valve sized 1/2.
The Set of valves fully comply with the main international
Standard and specifically with ASME Code Section I, when applicable. The shut-off valves are bonnetless type, operated by handwheel with rising non-rotating stem and stroke indicator.
- The Body (1) is forged of carbon steel or stainless steel and is
the only valve part under pressure. Seat is integral of Stellite
deposited with highly specialized and automatic procedure. The
Backseat ring (46) is threaded into the body and can be easily
replaced.

has structural functions only and is not under pressure.
Threaded outside the body and kept in place by means of one
welding tack that can be easily removed and remake for inspection or maintenance.
- The Disk (3) is of alloy steel whit seating surface Stellite. When
backseated, disk is pulled against bonnet with axial (not rotating) movement.
- The Stem (4) is of stainless steel, heat treated. Threads are
ACME. Being designed rising and non-rotating insures a lower
driving and closing torque and less wear of packing rings.
- The Yoke Bushing (11) is usually of special aluminium bronze
and is kept in place by two Antifriction Rings (43) and form a
Locking Ring (39).
- The Packing includes one Bottom Ring (5), one Graphite

Maintenance
Following optionals can be supplied:

- Vent valve on top valve,
- Safety ball-check on bottom valve, vertical,
- Safety ball-check on top valve, horizontal with removal device.
These sets of valves do not need particular maintenance.

We would suggest to use good quality packings in the stuffing-box
and to follow up the bolts of the packing gland from time to time.

Service maintenance
Before putting in service, check the bolting torque as recommended on top of this page. Tighten the bolts alternatively,
starting from centre of gauge. To avoid glass thermal shocks during start-up, the gauge temperature must gradually increase in order
to allow both the metallic structure and the glass to reach the
operating temperature. Proceed as follows: close bottom shut-off
valve, completely open drain, partially open top shut-off valve to
allow a minimum flow outlet of steam. Maintain flow outlet until
proper temperature is reached, then close drain valve; the condensate coming through top valve will fill the gauge column. At this step
completely open very slowlybottom shut-off valve, then completely
open top shut-off valve.
In case during operation fluid impurities affect glass, proceed to
gauge washing as above described
Important notice
Maintenance must be made immediately when:
- leakage appears, even if very small. In this case: shut of and cool
down the gauge. Tighten the gauge nuts at the recommended
bolting torque;
- the glass appears opaque or slightly white specially in the steam
area;
- grooves of the reflex glass show sign of corrosion and/or erosion and the reading of the level is not clear.
The lack of maintenance and the lack of replacement of the deteriorated parts can cause the breakage of the glass with all the relevant
consequences.

Sight Glasses for BONETTI Level Gauges

Standards and Quality
Glasses fitted in our level gauges and spare glasses comply with the
following Standards:
- DIN 7081
- ONORM M 7354 - MIL G 18498 B
- TGL 7210
- OMV H 2009
- Esso Eng. Spec. 123
- BS 3463
- JIS B 8211
- S.O.D. Spec. 123
Physical and chemical features:
- Resistance to bending strain: >150 N/mm2
- Mean coefficient of linear expansion (30 C to 300 C):
5,0 . 10-6 . K-1 - DIN 52328
- Transition temperature: 550 C - DIN 52324.
- Hydrolytic resistance: Class 1 - DIN 12111 and ISO 719
- Alkali resistance: Class 2 - DIN 52322 and ISO 695
- Acid resistance: Class 1 - DIN 12116
Material is always borosilicate glass pre-stressed and optically tested.Pre-Stressed, hardened, extra hard and similar definitions
are perfectly equivalent.
We never use soda-lime glasses, since they have quite insuffi-cient
features.
Special attention shall be paid to length, width, thickness and
especially flatness tolerances. From the latter point of view BONETTI sight glasses have very strict tolerance values, definitely lower
than most of the ones on the market. What above ensures less
stress and longer life of glass and joints.
Reflex or transparent glasses
There are two types of sight glasses:
These glasses have both smooth faces.

- Each sight glass is usually supplied with 2 joints (1 sealing joint +

1 cushion joint).
- Length and width of joint are the same as those of the respective
glass.
- Reflex glasses type A-BR13 - for fitting in reflex gauges type BR13
- need special sized joints. See maintenance instructions.
- Transparent glasses type A-BT12 - for fitting in transparent gauges
type BT12, no more in production - need special sized joints. See
maintenance instructions.
Protection for glasses

When glass protection against corrosive fluids is to be taken in consideration (including boiler water pressured over 35 bar), you must
remember that only smooth surfaces can be shielded by smooth
sheets having same length and width as sight glass.
Therefore:
- reflex glasses: only external face can be shielded by mica sheets
or other materials against corrosive environmental agents,
- transparent glasses: both faces can be shielded by mica or transparent polytrifluorochloroethylene (Kel-F) sheets. Protection of the
internal glass face in contact with fluid is usually sufficient.
Mica sheets inside level gauges are always recommended for application with water steam: thickness of mica sheets is usually 0.15 to
0.20 mm.
Non-frosting Blocks
Frost on gauge obstructing level reading could develop when level
gauge operates at fairly low temperature.
In such cases non-frosting block of transparent acrylic resin must be
fastened and sealed outside the gauge body.
This block shall protrude according to the thickness of the frost (see
Fig. 773 and 829).
Recommended protrusion:
