Selection of oil level measurement instruments for oil tanks in oil depots

I work in the oil field sector. For measurements in tank areas, radar is generally used; magnetic level gauges have limitations in terms of height and their performance isn’t very good. Pressure-based gauges can be ruled out as well. They work okay for sewage, but over time they can affect the diaphragm and thus impact the measurement accuracy. Ultrasonic gauges – I’ve never used them nor seen anyone use them. Crude oil transportation requires heating; the tank contains a large amount of water vapor and even foam, so ultrasound is not an option

I see the lightning rod; is the gauge a servo level gauge?

In terms of precision, only a few options are available, such as radar, magnetostrictive, and servo. Is it worth saving that money for better accuracy? It’s possible that hundreds or even thousands of radars were lost, costing a lot of money.

Radar maniacs, ultrasonic womaniacs – a pair of intermittent lunatics; they report full tanks as empty and empty tanks as full, with the measurement values remaining unchanged like dead dogs. 3. When it comes to measurement accuracy, certain time requirements must be met; generally, deviations are not allowed within 1 year. You can ask the metrology institute or refer to the relevant **metrological verification regulations**. So, in my opinion, those radar and ultrasonic devices are complete junk, with absolutely terrible accuracy :P OP, you might want to ask netizen Sikong from comment 2 about how imported radars work and how they’re used to climb tanks and dig around. 4. Design institutes are full of idiots and worthless people, especially those who act like Nazis’ dogs. 5. As for those idiots, it’s hard to say anything about them – they often can’t tell right from wrong, yet still have money. 6. There are over 20,000 types of sensors. I’ve been working for 30 years now, and I really haven’t seen or heard of any sensor that has better stability than pressure sensors. 7. Pressure-type level gauges have the longest continuous operation time without failures, require the least maintenance, and are the most stable type of level gauge. There is none other. Are there any objections? If there is, let’s argue about it,,, My pig’s snout is so itchy {:3_51:}

8. Some people, even though they are 50 or 60 years old, even though they have learned various things, worked in design institutes, and spent their entire lives engaged in revolutionary work, still lack an adequate understanding of the accuracy requirements for measuring liquid levels in oil storage tanks. In my opinion, they’re basically a bunch of folks who have been involved in chaotic battles their whole lives, right?:P 9. This post can help them improve their understanding, enabling them to make better decisions when selecting instruments and avoid taking actions that are counterproductive or futile. http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1391891-1-1.htm

Not deep enough? Well, let’s take a few more photos. The issue isn’t the type of watch; it’s rather whether it’s enjoyable to climb on top of containers to repair watches in such weather. . . . . Is it better to install the meter on the top of the tank or at the bottom?

It's here. . It had a feud with me in its past life, and now it’s coming to trouble me in this life. In my next life, I’ll go and mess with it! ! ! ! !

What brand of radar, model, installation location, and interface?
