How do you read this magnetic flap level gauge?

2016-11-07View Original

Thread Content

This is the level gauge for our torch tank; 0 centimeters is at the bottom, and 220 centimeters is at the top. From 0 to 140 centimeters, the color is colorless, while from 140 to 220 centimeters it turns yellow. So what is the current liquid level? I remember that on other level gauges, the bottom part is red or yellow, showing the exact liquid level; I can’t understand how this one on our flare tank works. Please give me some guidance

Use a magnet brush to wipe it and see if anything changes

It’s common for the float to be installed in the wrong orientation; turning it around will fix the issue.

The actual liquid level is 1.4 meters; it’s not due to the float being in the wrong position – rather, it’s because the entire row of flip columns is installed incorrectly, as the quality control during manufacturing was inadequate.

The reading is from the display interface anyway, so it doesn’t really matter

If something is placed in the wrong position, it doesn’t affect functionality; it’s possible that the design is meant to be that way. To find out for sure, one needs to consult the specifications

I brushed it with a magnet, and there were changes; now I’ve also made the yellow part on it colorless. What should I do next? Just ignore it? Will it display the level automatically once there is a liquid level?

Replying to the person above: Yes, it can be used normally from now on
