Get instant, clear, and safe level readings from your Ammonia tanks —without ever cracking a fitting.
Working with ammonia storage tanks requires a constant balance between operational efficiency and strict safety protocols. Your operators aren’t just thinking about inventory levels; they are thinking about staying safe.
Every time a crew member has to pull a bung, use a dipstick, or break a connection just to check a level, they risk exposure to toxic, irritating gas. It’s a hazardous, time-consuming process that increases the chance of leaks and mistakes.
There is a safer way.
Krueger Sentry Gauge provides plastic ammonia level gauges designed for a single purpose: to give you a reliable, at-a-glance reading from the outside. We help you keep your people away from open fumes so they can do their job with confidence.
Why Facilities Trust Krueger Sentry for Industrial Ammonia Tank Gauges
We believe you shouldn’t have to choose between safety and accuracy. Our level gauges are built to resolve the specific headaches of ammonia storage.
- Safety First: The most effective way to prevent exposure is to keep the vessel closed. Our gauges allow operators to verify levels from a safe distance without ever opening the tank.
- Simple & Mechanical: No power? No problem. Our mechanical float design provides continuous ammonia tank level readings without wiring, batteries, or complex electronics that can fail in harsh environments.
- Chemically Compatible: We use specific plastic wetted components designed to handle ammonia, avoiding the corrosion and metallurgy issues that plague standard metal gauges.
- American-Made Reliability: We build our gauges in the USA, supporting customers who prioritize domestic quality control and durable construction.
Solutions for Every Ammonia Tank or Drum Storage Size
Whether you are managing bulk storage or portable drums, we have a configuration that fits your footprint.
For Bulk Storage: The PD Series
Stop settling for “close enough” estimates. The PD Series is designed to adapt to your specific tank infrastructure.
- Versatile Range: Handles tank depths from 6 inches up to 110 inches.
- Custom Configurations: We can build the gauge to accommodate double-wall tanks and pipe risers, ensuring you are measuring the true liquid level, not just the riser height. Accuracy is key in tank level measurement.
- Inventory Control: Great for aboveground tanks, giving operators immediate visual confirmation before transfers, loading, or maintenance begins.
For Drums & Barrels: The PB Series Barrel Gauges
Small containers often get overlooked in safety planning, but ammonia in a drum deserves the same caution as ammonia in a bulk tank.
- Standard Fits: Available for 55, 30, and 15-gallon drums.
- Zero Contact: Operators can read the drum level instantly without pulling the bung or “sticking” the drum.
- Standardized Safety: Apply the “never open if you don’t have to” rule to your entire facility, from the largest vat to the smallest barrel.
Ready to Upgrade Your Safety Standards?
To get the right gauge for your facility, we just need a few quick details:
- Application: Are you gauging a Tank or a Drum?
- For Tanks: What is the depth from the top fitting to the bottom? (Anywhere between 6 inches and 12 feet). Do you have a double wall or riser?
- For Drums: What is the size? (55, 30, or 15-gallon).
Don’t let your crew take unnecessary risks. Contact Krueger Sentry Gauge today to specify a gauge that keeps your team out of open tanks and fully in control of your inventory.
We also have solutions for: Chlorine Tank Level Gauges, Sodium Hydroxide Storage Level Gauges, Sulphuric Acid Level Gauges, and Hydrochloric Acid Tank Level Gauges.
Frequently Asked Questions About Ammonia Tank Level Gauges
Do these ammonia tank level gauges require electrical power? No. All Krueger Sentry gauges are purely mechanical. This makes them ideal for outdoor applications, remote areas, or facilities where running conduit for power is difficult or expensive. They work 24/7, regardless of power outages.
Will the ammonia corrode the level gauge? We specifically manufacture our ammonia gauges with plastic components that are chemically compatible with ammonia. This avoids the pitting and corrosion often seen with incompatible metals, ensuring a longer service life and safer operation.
My ammonia storage tank has a tall riser pipe. Will the gauge read accurately? Yes, but only if configured correctly. We can build the gauge specifically for tanks with risers so that the reading reflects the actual liquid in the tank, not the empty space in the pipe. When ordering, just let us know the dimensions of your riser.
Can I install this on a double-wall tank? Absolutely. The PD Series is fully configurable for double-wall containment systems.
