2. Float switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_switch

   A float switch is a type of level sensor, a device used to detect the level of liquid within a tank. The switch may be used to control a pump, as an indicator, an alarm, or to control other devices. One type of float switch uses a mercury switch inside a hinged float. Another common type is a float that raises a rod to actuate a microswitch.

3. Level sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_sensor

   A variation of magnetic sensing is the "Hall effect" sensor which utilizes the magnetic sensing of a mechanical gauge's indications. In a typical application, a magnetism-sensitive "Hall effect sensor" is affixed to a mechanical tank gauge that has a magnetized indicator needle, so as to detect the indicating position of the gauge's needle.

4. Sight glass - Wikipedia

   Water gauge on a steam locomotive. Here the water is at the “top nut”, the maximum working level. Note the patterned backplate to help reading and toughened glass shroud. A sight glass or water gauge is a type of level sensor, a transparent tube through which the operator of a tank or boiler can observe the level of liquid contained within.

5. Magnetic level gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_level_gauge

   A magnetic level gauge pulled out from inside the valve housing on top of a railway tank car in the United States [1]. A magnetic level gauge is a level gauge based on a float device that can experience floatation in both high and low density fluids.

6. Float (liquid level) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_(liquid_level)

   Liquid level floats, also known as float balls, are spherical, cylindrical, oblong or similarly shaped objects, made from either rigid or flexible material, that are buoyant in water and other liquids. They are non-electrical hardware frequently used as visual sight-indicators for surface demarcation and level measurement. They may also be ...

7. Water level (device) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_level_(device)

   A water level device showing both ends at the same height. A water level (Greek: Aλφαδολάστιχο or (υδροστάθμη) [Alfadolasticho]) is a siphon utilizing two or more parts of the liquid water surface to establish a local horizontal line or plane of reference.
