Help: Experts, how many liquid level gauges are there for oil tanks?
Thread Content
Recently, our facility was inspected by the parent company, which stated that our oil tanks only have one level gauge (remote type), and that two different types of level gauges are required. But the design documents show that only one unit is specified. Dear experts, are there any standards in this area?
Yes, it is necessary to use both remote transmission and on-site comparison. Is it stated in Order No. 40 on work safety that this is related to the Seio level of your system?
What is the capacity of your company’s oil tanks, and do they qualify as major hazard sources? Typically, oil tanks with a capacity of over 100 cubic meters are equipped with an on-site level gauge, in addition to another level gauge that has remote transmission capabilities. Currently, no standard requiring the use of two level gauges is seen.
During design, two types of level gauges are generally considered: those for on-site use and those for remote monitoring, mainly to facilitate on-site viewing and comparison
Thank you for your help. I would like to ask if there are any mandatory standards regarding the use of two types of level gauges Both local and remote level gauges must be installed simultaneously.
