Selection of level gauge for concentrated sulfuric acid storage tank
Thread Content
This post was last edited by FORREST_GUMP on 2015-6-18 at 10:10. For 98% concentrated sulfuric acid in a 10m3 carbon steel tank, which type of flow meter would be most suitable and help reduce the risk of leaks? Please advise.
Should the poster choose a “level gauge” or a “flow meter”?
A regular float-type level gauge will do for the level meter! Isn’t that the case?
I was wrong. It is a level gauge. It’s not a flow meter
I just think that the float-type design isn’t very good, as there can be leaks at the flange connections. I was wondering if there’s a better option
A flow meter can be used for that. I’m not sure if there are any particles; if there aren’t any particles, ultrasonic testing can be tried.
It won’t leak; my company has been using it for a long time without any leaks. Could it be that it wasn’t installed properly in your case?
What about using ultrasonic or magnetic level gauges instead?
Radar level gauges with PTFE lining – easy to use; the only issue is the price
We all use magnetic flap level gauges
