NAKAKITA AIR PURGE NS-967F
NAKAKITA
New product
The NAKAKITA SEISAKUSHO NS-967F Air Purge Unit is a specialized marine instrumentation device used as part of an air purge type ballast tank level monitoring and draft gauging system. Based on the product identification visible in the supplied image, the equipment is clearly marked as NS-967F AIR PURGE UNIT manufactured by Nakakita Seisakusho Co., Ltd., Japan.
The NS-967F is designed to provide reliable tank level and draft measurement by utilizing compressed air purge technology. In marine applications, accurate ballast tank level information is critical for vessel stability, cargo operations, trim management, draft calculations, and safe navigation.
Industry references indicate that the NS-967F is commonly installed within ballast tank level monitoring systems and draft gauge arrangements onboard merchant vessels. These systems use air pressure generated through purge tubes to determine liquid levels inside ballast tanks while avoiding direct immersion of sensitive electronic components in the tank environment.
Ship owners, operators, chief engineers, and technical managers rely on such equipment because it provides dependable measurements even under harsh marine conditions where corrosion, contamination, and vibration are constant challenges.
The NAKAKITA NS-967F Air Purge Unit forms part of a complete tank level monitoring architecture. The system operates by continuously supplying a controlled flow of air through a purge pipe extending into a ballast tank or draft measuring point.
As the air exits the purge tube, the back pressure generated corresponds directly to the liquid head within the tank. This pressure signal is then transmitted to associated transmitters, indicators, monitoring panels, or integrated vessel automation systems.
Because the measurement principle is based on air pressure rather than submerged electrical sensors, the system offers excellent reliability in dirty, corrosive, or difficult tank environments.
The NS-967F is commonly integrated with:
Marine operators appreciate this technology because it minimizes sensor exposure inside tanks while maintaining stable and accurate level readings.
The NS-967F uses proven air purge measurement principles, eliminating many of the problems associated with immersed sensing devices.
Marine ballast tanks are exposed to corrosion, moisture, sediment, and contamination. Air purge technology helps maintain measurement integrity under these challenging conditions.
The system supports draft gauging applications, enabling officers and engineers to monitor vessel loading conditions accurately.
The unit can be integrated into centralized monitoring systems, alarm systems, and automation platforms commonly installed on commercial vessels.
Nakakita Seisakusho products are widely recognized throughout the marine industry for their durability and dependable performance.
Since sensitive measuring elements are isolated from direct contact with tank liquids, maintenance requirements are generally reduced compared with certain submerged sensor technologies.
