Liquid level float for storage tanks

2017-09-19View Original

Thread Content

Many of our company’s storage tanks are used to hold unsaturated resins. Some float switches have been installed, but the problem is that styrene present in the resin tends to evaporate at the level of these floats, causing it to polymerize and stick there, which results in the floats becoming stuck and unable to function properly. In light of this situation, I was wondering if anyone knows of suitable level floats for tanks that use this type of medium?

Can radar, ultrasonic waves, etc. be used as level gauges?

Thank you, I can give it a try. I’m not sure about the stability of the quality – I wonder if benzene vapor will still cause curing of the probe in the same way

I think the specific details need to be finalized with the manufacturer. Furthermore, due to the small size of the emitter head, if solidification occurs, it is more likely that measures can be taken to address the issue.
