Is a glass tube level gauge used in the sulfuric acid storage tank?
Thread Content
I currently have a 4m3 storage tank, and a glass tube level gauge is being used for measuring the liquid level. Is this meeting the safety requirements?
It certainly does not meet the requirements; even if sulfuric acid does not corrode glass, it is still not acceptable, as glass is fragile and sulfuric acid is corrosive, which increases the likelihood of causing damage.
Using a float level gauge is the most economical option; glass tubes are unreliable. With two additional valves and a glass tube, there are more points where leaks can occur
What sealing material is used in glass tube level gauges? Read the level on-site using a radar level gauge.

It does not meet safety requirements; a single-flange level gauge is sufficient for tanks of this size
