Questions about ultrasonic level gauges

2016-03-28View Original

Thread Content

A level gauge for measuring the limestone slurry keeps fluctuating inaccurately. Water and limestone powder are mixed into a slurry inside the tank; it has an agitator, and dust emerges from the installation port of the gauge from time to time. The tank is 4.8 meters tall, and an E+H gauge is used

Is there steam coming out? Generally, ultrasonic level gauges are sensitive to steam condensation

In such operating conditions, the use of ultrasound is not recommended. .

What was said upstairs is correct – ultrasonic level gauges are not suitable for the current operating conditions due to the presence of dust and smoke. If a top-mounted gauge must be used, no recommendation can be given; cable-type gauges will interfere with the stirring process, while magnetostrictive gauges may not function properly when dealing with viscous materials… I’m not very familiar with this aspect, so I’ll ask Brother Qiu upstairs for his recommendations regarding level measurement in cases of viscous materials

Check the installation first, configure it properly. Additionally, water vapor has a significant impact on it, causing dust to appear

Radar with purge function... I can’t think of any other suitable instruments

It’s not good to use a drop-in type for viscous media with stirring. . .

Can Pig Brother share some application cases?

But there is dust inside, so it might cause interference~
