Have you used differential pressure level transmitters on mixing vessels? What’s the actual performance like?
It can be used; the key factor is whether the medium is prone to crystallization
This is our polymerization mixing tank for high-viscosity resins, equipped with 3-inch plug flanges to ensure stable measurement
It is possible to use a differential pressure transmitter to detect fluctuating liquid levels, but it is not recommended as it requires frequent and complicated maintenance.
Sure, all our reaction vessels equipped with agitators use double flanges for level measurement
Using double-flange types on polyesters is not very ideal, especially under high temperature and high vacuum conditions; they tend to break down over time. Many manufacturers are now switching to blow-out type level gauges
High-viscosity resins are not suitable for differential pressure level gauges. Because the resin adheres to the flange surface of the liquid phase. Over time, the measurements become inaccurate.
Check the mixing container to see what kind of mixing blades it has; it is recommended to use a radar level gauge, though don’t expect precise measurements. If accurate measurement is required, use a weighing module
