What type of level gauge is used for measuring spherical tanks
Thread Content
If a spherical tank is 15 meters high, what type of level gauge should be used to measure the liquid level inside it? I need an on-site level gauge that is easy to read, as well as one with remote transmission capabilities; I’m not sure how to choose. In my opinion, the distance at the site is too great; if the remote sensing radar cannot be installed at the center, then it will not be able to measure the liquid level at the center.
What medium? Physical and chemical properties?
If radar can’t be used, then a servo level gauge can be employed; it’s more expensive
Guided wave radar or servo level gauges: I have used Enraf servo level gauges with propylene as the medium, as well as Rosemoun guided wave radars also using propylene as the medium; the quality of these products is quite good.
Level gauges with steel strips and light guides should work, right?
Wasn’t it said that the radar can’t be installed right in the center of the top? It needs to be installed at a 1/2 radius; at that point, the bottom of the spherical tank cannot be measured. Also, help determine which type of on-site level gauge would be suitable.
Guided wave radar (cable-type guided wave radar) can be installed at the center; however, the lower end of the cable must be secured in an insulated manner. It is better to use a servo system – ENRAF or EH are both good options – and there is also an on-site display panel available
Consider the servo level gauge from Nidec Kikai Seisakusho, which utilizes technology from Tokyo Kikai Seisakusho Co., Ltd. in Japan. It has been locally produced in Chongqing, offering good cost-performance. The FW-9000CP servo level gauge was developed in the 1980s; it features stable performance and reliable measurement!
Our factory also has spherical tanks used for storing liquid ammonia, and guide radar is employed, which is very accurate
It depends on the type of medium involved: for long-distance transmission, servo systems, or radar applications. An on-site level gauge can also be used; it’s not very complicated. It is mainly used in conjunction with remote-level gauges
