Issues with measuring media in float level gauges
Thread Content
A float level gauge designed to measure methanol level in a device – can it be used to measure the level of other liquids as well?
Sure, but it needs to be recalibrated.
Sure, modify the parameters and recalibrate
After calibration, other liquids can be measured, but the types of fluids that can be measured depend on the corrosion resistance of the gauge’s material.
The float is not useful. Calibration is troublesome.
What are the advantages of float level gauges, and can they be completely replaced by double-flange level gauges?
If that doesn’t work, modify it by turning the float into a container; install differential pressure gauges at the plug and drain outlets. Ensure proper synchronization between the control room and the field, and remember to add drain valves for both positive and negative pressures
Stop joking around – just recalibrate the float. Find a transparent plastic tube, connect it, and use water to fill it... Follow the steps to adjust the density of the medium again.
It is necessary to reset the medium density within the table and then perform calibration. Additionally, the cleanliness of the medium must be taken into account; if it is viscous, heating must be provided. Floats offer higher precision compared to double flanges, but they also have their disadvantages
