Process Engineering Division – Instrumentation and Automation Section – Daily Topics – Topic No. 2020-11-22: Discussion question: For the product storage tanks, is it better to use radar level gauges or double-flange level gauges? (Extra points for explaining the reason)
I have installed two level gauges for the major hazard source. For double-flange types, it is necessary to take precautions against freezing; radar level gauges are relatively stable, but they are not perfect either. It is important to choose the appropriate level gauge based on the actual conditions of the fluid being stored.
If double flanges can be used, there’s no need for radar; after all, double flanges are easier to adjust and are relatively more stable. Radar sometimes encounters inexplicable problems: L
If a double-flange level gauge can be used, go ahead and use it.
We use double-flange level gauges. That’s just the way design works; radars are generally used in pits
Where possible, choose a double-flange level gauge, as it is easier to maintain and provides clearer readings; radar level gauges, on the other hand, have a higher failure rate and do not offer clear readings.
