How to accurately determine the liquid level in a storage tank
Thread Content
In my work, it is necessary to calculate the daily production volume, but the liquid level readings can be inaccurate. Do any of the more experienced colleagues have any good methods for determining the actual liquid level, so as to compare it with the measured values and see if there are any differences? Thank you
There are quite a few products available for measuring liquid levels. . .
{:3_49:} For something like this, you can just ask the instrumentation team at your company. Differential pressure level gauges are generally accurate, and radar gauges work as well too. If the material you’re dealing with is quite clean, installing an online cumulative flow meter might also be a good option
Aren’t standard storage tanks equipped with two sets of level gauges, precisely to prevent the situation where one of them gives inaccurate readings?
This can only rely on the equipment; if that’s not allowed, use two sets and cross-check them with each other.
