I need a storage tank at atmospheric pressure that can withstand alkalis, operating at around 60 degrees Celsius; the tank’s height is 4 meters. What type of level gauge would be cost-effective and suitable for use in this scenario?
Radar level gauge. Single-flange level gauge
Local magnetic flap, remote differential pressure type.
Using a guided-wave radar level gauge, its accuracy is not affected by changes in alkali concentration (density)
Magnetic flap valves are cheaper and can be observed on-site. The single-flange design offers durability and a low failure rate.
The price of a 4-meter-high magnetic flap is also not low; the prices of the two are likely to be similar.
Guided wave radars are relatively inexpensive, and tanks with a height of 4 meters that use magnetic flip switches along with reed switches are also not cheap
If it is confirmed to be at atmospheric pressure, use a single-flange differential pressure level gauge; the negative pressure side should be exposed to the atmosphere, and care should be taken to prevent rainwater from entering. For example, those from Yokogawa and ABB are very cheap; they don’t exceed 10,000 yuan. Low failure rate, accurate measurement. When making the selection, just consider the diaphragm material.
