What should an operator do when the readings from the glass level gauge and the float level gauge on a storage tank do not match? Answer: First, check whether the glass level gauge is functioning properly: close the lower and upper shut-off valves on the glass connector, and check if the glass tube is blocked or not. If it is blocked, take action to resolve the issue; after that, reinstall the glass level gauge before taking measurements again. If the readings of the glass level gauge and the float level gauge still do not match, the fault may lie with the float level gauge; the instrumentation technician should be notified to fix the issue with it. http://down.hcbbs.cc/attachment/forum/201706/10/203353z7y06fdo70r6eod0.jpg Petrochemical area —— New ideas for energy conservation: the “Creative Thinking” campaign (the second phase is in full swing). http://bbs.hcbbs.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1666758 (Source: Haichuan Chemical Industry Forum) 2017: “My Technical Upgrades” in the coal chemical industry. http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1786290-1-1.html (Source: Haichuan Chemical Industry Forum Website) Registration for chemical engineers – Experience sharing through the “Learning from Others’ Experiences” campaign. http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1808158-1-1.html (Source: Haichuan Chemical Industry Forum Website)

Re-calibrate the float level gauge and compare again. It can also be compared with liquid level remote transmission

Contact the meter technician for repair; Use the water immersion method on the glass plate to check if it is accurate
