Are there any fixed requirements regarding on-site level gauges – which devices must be used – or is it up to the designer’s preference?
That’s too general; there are differences between various industries, but in most cases things are standardized, such as boiler and drum level measurement, electric contacts, balance vessels, or dual-color level gauges. Storage tanks are classified by medium, such as magnetic flap, double flange, single flange, and servo type. Large design institutes are generally modular in structure, with few changes made. Owners can communicate with the design institute based on their own circumstances, and it is also possible to modify the drawings.
Take the intermediate storage tank, for example. For things like raw material tanks and reflux tanks, is it sufficient to use remote monitoring only? Are there any mandatory requirements to install on-site level gauges?
In theory, a remote transmission system is needed, as the liquid level in the intermediate tank or return tank is generally a control parameter. Either too high or too low a liquid level can affect the process, so in some cases the decision is based on the requirements of the process. In terms of design, no single element is independent; they all work together in combination.
There are no strict requirements or specifications governing which areas require on-site level gauges and which ones require remote ones; it all depends on the designer’s approach
There are no strict design specifications; generally, the design is determined based on process requirements and the practices used in the same industry. Also, nowadays design work comes with a lifetime responsibility system, so people normally don’t dare to handle it carelessly. When selecting instruments, more emphasis is placed on past performance in similar or comparable situations. The reflux tank cannot be regarded as a simple tank; here it is a basic process equipment. It’s not just a storage function. Our company has an expert in the petrochemical industry; you can contact Ma from Jinan Gaozhun at 13256706769 if you have any questions
Design firms generally require the installation of a monitoring level gauge. If you only use a remote transmission system, and something goes wrong, you’ll still be filling the tank until it’s full, which could lead to serious problems. It’s better to have an on-site level display – it’s safer and more intuitive
In terms of operational procedures, it is necessary to monitor the liquid level.
There are no requirements for general critical equipment; remote and local operation are both possible
