What type of level gauge is suitable for a 2-cubic-meter methanol tank?
Thread Content
For a methanol tank with a capacity of 2 cubic meters, what type of level gauge is suitable under normal temperature and pressure conditions? It’s usually a magnetic flap level gauge, but I’ve heard that these types of gauges tend to break easily It’s either a differential pressure transmitter, which calculates the pressure to determine the liquid level; or perhaps the piping for taking pressure readings also needs to be designed? I also have an idea: installing only a pressure sensor at the bottom of the tank probably won’t work, right?
Sure, we’re also using the 5000-liter tanks at our facility
Magnetic flap, both double flange options are available
On-site monitoring can use magnetic flap switches, while centralized monitoring can make use of single-flange transmitters, located at the bottom； A differential pressure transmitter can also be used
Magnetic flap switch – simple, durable, and not prone to failure
Magnetic flap combined with reed switch – low cost (inductive integrated level gauge is also an option)
A magnetic flap level gauge is required on-site, and a differential pressure transmitter can be used at the bottom
