What type of level gauge is suitable for liquid gas horizontal tanks?
Thread Content
I would like to ask the experts here: based on your field experience, what type of level gauge works best for measuring liquefied gas storage tanks?
It’s better to choose those with magnetic flip plates: lol
A double-flange transmitter would be good!
Magnetic flap level gauges are used for local display, while differential pressure transmitters, double-flange transmitters, float level gauges, and guided-wave radar can all be used for remote transmission; differential pressure transmitters are the most economical option for remote transmission.
For measuring liquefied gas storage tanks, magnetic flap level gauges or dual-color glass plate level gauges are generally used for local display, while electric float transmitters or guided wave radar are used for remote transmission, to provide an intuitive indication of the gas-liquid interface level.
I think Köhler’s magnetic flip level gauge from Germany is very good and highly practical.
For horizontal tanks, any of the options mentioned above can be used; radio frequency admittance and magnetostrictive methods are also applicable. For spherical tanks, radar with multiple sensors is used
Servo motor level transmitters can also be used.
