I have a question: the specifications for purchasing this magnetic flap level gauge indicate a measurement range of 0–10 meters and a 4–20mA output, but the distance between the flanges on the side of the storage tank is actually 6 meters Can it be used? ?
It works; it can measure up to 10 meters, and 6 meters is no problem. Calibrating the 4-20mA analog signal can ensure accurate display of the percentage from 0 to 6 meters; the electrical team will handle this
Sir, with this magnetic flap, isn’t there a length of over 2 meters left at both the top and bottom? The lower flange of the storage tank’s side frame is only 50 cm above the ground – will this make installation impossible?
Sure, in fact, you can place the order by specifying the length you need.
It’s best to place a new order based on the actual requirements. If the items are already available, there’s nothing to do but to add a bend in order to increase the installation distance; however, a difference of 4 meters is too much.
In practical applications, the measurement range is determined by the distance between the upper and lower flanges; there isn’t such a large deviation. However, in real-world use there is a problem: when the liquid level in the tank exceeds 6 meters and there is pressure inside the tank, it leads to inaccurate measurements, and it becomes difficult to encode the data. The ideal situation would be to avoid this issue
There is no problem with this; if the range of the flap flow meter is not recalibrated, it is possible to indicate on the display that 6m represents the full scale. Be careful when operating it, as this can lead to errors in operation. It is better to recalibrate it according to a scale of 6m.
