Selection of level gauges
Thread Content
Dear experts, the equipment in my unit contains materials with high viscosity, a large amount of crystalline particles, and it tends to get clogged. I would like to ask what type of level indicator would be suitable in this case?
Take a look at Siemens’ solid-state radar level gauge LR400; would you like it?
A top-mounted float level gauge should work; it’s the type where the float is inside the tank and a wire is used to transmit the signal, enabling an indicator with magnetic flip plates to display the level on the side or top.
It’s not known what the conditions inside the equipment are; if they are favorable, non-contact types can be used, such as horn-type radars or double-flange level gauges. For the flange diaphragm, a protruding type should be chosen. There is no shut-off valve, and the device can be installed directly there.
Contactless types, such as horn-shaped radars or double-flange level gauges; these are protruding types that do not come with shut-off valves and are connected directly to the equipment. It depends on the operating conditions of your equipment.
Radar level gauges, double-flange level gauges, and ray-type level gauges work too.
The ZDS-A intelligent dual-color level gauge can meet your requirements; you can inquire about it
It depends on the structure of the material storage equipment; if the conditions are met, a contactless radar is a better choice.
Can you provide the equipment structure and its operating mode (static? Dynamic? Stirring? Heat exchanger? How is material fed in and discharged? ）? Could you also provide the name of the measuring medium? Temperature? Pressure? Viscosity? Density? Operating condition parameters. . . . . . Otherwise, it’s hard to give advice
Based on the situation described by the poster, a contactless level gauge should be used. Any instrument that has direct contact is bound to experience crystallization, leading to blockages or jams.
