Buoy-based boundary measurement
Thread Content
The float level gauge sets the zero point when the measuring cavity is filled with a light medium. How should I understand the phrase “filled with heavy medium for calibration”? Please help!
When the float is filled with the light phase, it reads 0%; when it is filled with the heavy phase, it reads 100%. The zero point and full scale are adjusted accordingly
When using floats to determine the interface level, for example to find the boundary between gasoline and water, gasoline has a lower density and is therefore a less dense medium; it floats on the surface of water. Water, with its higher density, is found below the gasoline, and in this case water is the less dense medium. The float is filled with gasoline and contains no water; in this case, the level is 0%. When the float is filled with water and contains no gasoline, the level is 100%.
Thank you; it was explained in a very intuitive and thorough way. You’re amazing – thank you so much
