How to measure a fluctuating liquid level?

2021-05-21View Original

Thread Content

There is a oil tank that is 2 meters high and has a diameter of about 1.5 meters. When oil is discharged from it, pressure is exerted on the tank, causing fluctuations in the oil level inside. In such a situation, could pulse radar measurement result in signal loss? Can the use of a guide tube prevent this? If this solution doesn’t work, then which type of instrument is relatively reasonable and affordable for use?

Is the top-mounted magnetic float a good value for money? Double flanges would work too, right?

Are you referring to magnetostriction? Which is cheaper, magnetostrictive or low-frequency radar? They tried double flanges, but the result was not satisfactory; it’s likely due to fluctuations inside.

This still requires selecting the appropriate one based on the viscosity of the medium, for reference only.

Hexane is being measured, and the magnetic flip level was used originally, so the viscosity should not be high.

If the viscosity is suitable, then the setting of the flap is also understandable. If required, limit signals for alarm via upper and lower float switches are also needed. There’s probably no need to switch to anything else; for this type of measuring instrument, what’s suitable isn’t perfect in every way. For reference.

We have a production level gauge available: 15890954071 (WeChat)

The main issue is the inaccuracy during discharge (the customer says it’s due to pressure inside the tank causing disturbance)

This might not make sense. If it is for sales measurement, it is best to use weight as the unit of measurement. There are things one must stick to, and one should have one’s own opinions. One shouldn’t doubt everything; what others say can only be used as a reference. For reference.
