Magnetic flap level gauge with remote transmission
Thread Content
A magnetic flap level gauge for spherical tanks, with remote transmission; the remote transmission mechanism is of the reed type. Due to the cold weather, it is desired to use iron sheeting for insulation. I wonder if this will affect the performance of the magnetic flaps in terms of remote transmission. Please ask those with experience to help
It should not have an impact, but it is recommended to use aluminum foil for insulation.
It has no impact, because the metal sheet is on the outside, with insulation materials such as insulation foam inside. Wait
Try to avoid using iron sheets; aluminum sheets will suffice
There is insulation material inside, so it won’t cause any issues, but it’s recommended to use aluminum foil for insulation.
What is the range in meters? Why not choose a magnetic flip-disc level gauge for local use and a radar level gauge for remote monitoring? In this way, the data from both gauges can be compared; if one of them stops working, it won’t affect the manufacturing process. Moreover, their prices are not very different. It’s usually better to use either type for local or remote monitoring – since the float doesn’t move in either case, the data from both gauges is not useful anyway~
They probably took the price into consideration; after all, they are storage tanks for sewage and sludge oil, which aren’t particularly important.
It’s fine; that’s how it is in our company. Adding insulation foam and then a casing doesn’t cause any problems. But be careful not to let your heat tracing tube get too close to the magnetic flap, as this can affect the measurements.
Magnetic ones cannot be used! ! !
