Problems with glass plate level gauges in the liquefied gas tank area! !
Thread Content
In such weather! The glass plate level gauges in our LPG tank area have also frozen. It can be blown off with steam despite being melted. But it freezes again after one night. Mainly, water in the area where the level gauge is connected to the bottom of the tank tends to freeze. Is there any good way?
Wrapping it in cotton cloth might help a bit. It’s snowing here now, and the outdoor water pipes have frozen. They are wrapped in thick layers of cotton cloth to prevent them from freezing.
Liquefied gas cylinders usually have a water separator; I’m not sure if your cylinders have one, but the separator can be used to remove water
1. Adopt insulation measures. 2. Cut out the glass plate.

There is also a drain valve below the glass plate level gauge; under suitable conditions, the water inside the level gauge should be drained. In northern regions, heat tracing can be used appropriately.
In most cases, we use steam tracing in addition to water separation
Can a flap level gauge be used for liquefied gas tanks?
We have magnetic flip level gauges, water cut tanks, and steam tracing – specifically, there is a water cut tank beneath the spherical tank that is used to remove water periodically; this water cut tank is equipped with tracing, and both the spherical tank and the water cut tank use magnetic flip level gauges
