For the measurement of the liquid level at the bottom of the atmospheric pressure tower, a single-flange level transmitter is used; should a protective box be employed?

For the measurement of the liquid level at the bottom of a atmospheric pressure tower, a single-flange level transmitter is used. Is it necessary to use a protective enclosure for it? Colleagues in the petrochemical and oil industries, could you please provide some guidance? Are there any uniform rules established within the industry or by design firms? I work in the fields of metallurgy and coal chemical engineering; previously, in such situations, no protective box was used. Thank you

Not all instruments used outside need to be placed in insulation enclosures; many of them have features such as explosion protection, water resistance, and dust resistance. The level of explosion protection varies depending on the area in which they are used. If an instrument meets the IP65 standard, then there is no need for an additional insulation enclosure

Bro, I’m asking about the protection box.

The protection box is mainly used for frost prevention; it is not necessary if the medium does not freeze

I don’t understand what’s outside the protection box~~~

Anti-freezing: By adding an insulation box, it can only protect the part around the gauge, right?

Build a small room and install air conditioning; is that necessary?

If the environment is not corrosive, there is no need for a protective box; single-flange connections are used for atmospheric pressure towers. Is the single flange you are using a diaphragm-flanged capillary type?

For current table headers, it is generally not necessary to use a protective box. It would definitely be better if a protective box could be added under certain conditions. It can protect the header from dust, rain, sunlight, and physical damage.
