What type of level gauge are you using in the tar storage tanks, and how effective is it?
Thread Content
As the title suggests, it’s like a tank filled with viscous tar. What kind of level gauges are generally used in such situations? It seems that none of them work very well
For tar storage tanks, stainless steel float level gauges, differential pressure level gauges, or acoustic level gauges are generally chosen. Stainless steel float level gauges are typically suitable for measuring various fluids in the petrochemical industry; they can also be used for measuring the level of highly viscous fluids ； Differential pressure level gauges are suitable for measuring the level of various compressible and incompressible fluids, and they are not sensitive to changes in factors such as the viscosity and temperature of the fluid ； An acoustic level gauge is a non-contact type of liquid level measuring instrument that boasts excellent resistance to interference and high accuracy; it is suitable for measuring the level of various liquids, powders, and granular materials. Different level gauges have various advantages and application ranges, and the choice should be made based on the actual circumstances. .
Electric heating for high-temperature silicone oil double-flange gate valve
Our unit uses Rosemount single-flange pressure transmitters, and so far there have been no problems.
Emerson’s large-dish antenna radar ……
What’s the performance like? Could a slightly higher tar temperature lead to lower echo signals or make it easier for the gauge to get clogged?
It is said to be particularly suitable for applications involving tar and asphalt. According to Emerson, I don’t have any experience using it myself……
Level gauges commonly used to measure the level of viscous materials are suspended fork-type level gauges or micro-sonic radar level gauges. These two types of level gauges are suitable for measuring the level of materials with high viscosity, as they help to prevent problems such as blockages or excessive errors
It is recommended to use radar for non-contact measurement, as it does not come into direct contact with the medium and is not affected by changes in the medium’s density or viscosity! For inquiries regarding radar, please contact Engineer Peng at 15656527378 (the same number is available on WeChat)
