Selection of liquid level gauges for propylene spheres
Thread Content
Current tank specifications require the use of two different types of level gauges; I wonder how everyone makes their choices? How is it working? Can a differential pressure radar be used? Or do the two radars meet the specifications?
For your information, our company has an acrylic spherical tank with a capacity of 2,000 cubic meters, and the diameter of the sphere is approximately 16 meters.
Differential pressure and radar are great; that’s how our unit is equipped.
Our facility uses radar and contactless ultrasonic level gauges; there is also a high-level switch on top of the spherical tank! 2400 cubic meters, diameter 16.5 meters, used for storing ethylene!
Differential pressure and radar – this configuration is quite good: lol
External-mounted level gauges and servo level gauges can be considered
To avoid interference, contactless methods are avoided in stadiums and storage tanks; guided wave radar level gauges are recommended. Although they are contact-based, they offer high measurement accuracy and good resistance to interference. Moreover, since the dielectric constant of propylene is relatively low, contact-based sensors are the most suitable choice
It is recommended to use a servo level gauge, as it is less affected by temperature; radar levels tend to fluctuate easily
It is recommended to use an external-mounted level gauge; the storage tank does not require any openings or flanges, there is no risk of leakage, and it is relatively safe and convenient. You can consult Mr. Liu at 15596669461
Why is ultrasound recommended for propylene tanks, which are not at normal temperature and pressure? . . . I don’t understand. . . . Those with plenty of money can use guided wave radar/radar + servo systems; those with limited funds can settle for guided wave radar/radar + magnetic flip switches
