Level gauge selection
Thread Content
The viscosity of the material in the tank is similar to that of asphalt; stirring takes place there, and there are also solid particle impurities. Everyone should pay attention to choosing the right type of level gauge. The radar level gauges currently used by the company are not accurate enough, and even those provided by manufacturers have proven ineffective.
It is recommended to use isolated level gauges. Our company faced a problem with measuring the asphalt level in an extraction tower, and this issue remained unresolved for a long time; last year, isolated level gauges were used for measurement, and the results were very good. The plan is quite complex; you need to contact yhkj_zym@sina.com by email
The viscosity of the material in the tank and its temperature are important; without sufficient information on these process conditions, it is not possible to select the appropriate model, including factors such as whether the medium is corrosive and what the pressure is
A radiation level gauge commonly used in gasification units is employed
At high temperatures, the viscosity is not very high, around 100 cp; the material contains 10% salt particles, and the presence of agitation in the tank interferes with the measurement by the radar level gauge
Whether the pressure fluctuations are significant, the amount of particles present, and the size of those particles – these are the key factors
How was it resolved later? I’d like to learn that too
The particles are not large; there is a high content of them, and they are very fine salt particles
