Basics of FloatWelcome to the world of Riko Float Technology
RF-2 Floats are easy for after-works,
and supplied to various kinds of industries.
Generally speaking, Stable buoyancy, Specific Gravity, Resistance to Heat, and Resistance to Oils, Fuels andChemicals are mostly required to floats. However, the then existing floats such as Brass, Cork and Plastic hadbeen failing in those requirements.Riko has realized the precise Specific Gravity with high brending skill and experienced know-hows of Curing Process. RF-2 Float has solved many kinds of problems in broad range of industries, and it has become an indispensable part for developing new sensors or meters.Please just try RF-2 Floats, and you will find out how good they are.
Things that float
Generally speaking, we tend to be curious about the things that happen around us.
Let’s see whether a potato
and an eggplant can float on water.
The potato sinks and the eggplant floats.
Let’s try cutting them into pieces of the same size.
Once again, the potato sinks and the eggplant floats.
So, we can see that the size has no effect on whether these items sink or float.
Let’s compare the weight of each.
Whether something sinks or floats in water depends on whether it is lighter or heavier than water.
The merit of completely closed cell
You can find the difference between completely closed cells and im completely closed cells on t he right pictures. If you cut floats with same size, the im completely closed cell float will sink, while the com pletely closed cell float will be almost no change.
Completely closed cell
Each cell is independentlyclosed, the liquid will not go into further, and the buoyancy will not be affected so much.
Imcompletely closed cell
The liquid goes through in the cells, and the float is nolonger buoyant.
“The float floats” when it is put in the water.
Desirable Specific Gravity can be achieved, and stable. Targeted S.G. or Buoyancy can be realized.
Specific gravity:0.2
Specific gravity:0.5
Specific gravity:0.8
