What type of level gauge is suitable for liquefied gas cylinders?

2013-12-31View Original

Thread Content

I’m working on a project recently and discussing the issue of level gauges for liquefied gas spheres. Based on the spheres currently in use, radar-based level gauges have a high failure rate; could you recommend some reliable level gauges? Currently, radar-based level gauges are highly affected by temperature changes. Double-flange level gauges and magnetic flap level gauges are also affected by temperature.

Liquefied gas tankers are usually over 10 meters in height, and a double-flange level gauge is not suitable for such heights; magnetic flap level gauges or glass tube level gauges are recommended for on-site indication. For remote monitoring, it is best not to use magnetic flap level gauges. The factory previously used radar level gauges, which did not perform satisfactorily; it later switched to servo motor-based level gauges. At first, there were some issues with accuracy and performance, but after improvements, these gauges now operate smoothly. They require little maintenance or repair, and their performance is quite good.

Servo, radar, guided-wave radar, and differential pressure level gauges are the mainstream. I’m not sure about the specific reasons why the radar isn’t working well for you

I’m not sure why it’s prohibited for gods and demons; it seems to be because the temperature on the steel cables is low and frost forms there

We use E H’s. Partially yes

Servo, radar, guided-wave radar, and differential pressure level gauges are the mainstream. Professional liquid hydrocarbon storage tank facilities mostly opt for servos.

Generally, two or more level gauges are used

Servos, radars, guided-wave radars, and differential pressure level gauges are used quite frequently

The design uses servos; we are using a director’s radar, and its performance is excellent.
