Can a single-flange pressure-type level gauge be used in pressurized containers?
We are about to do this, using a single flange in combination with the tank top pressure to display the liquid level.
What’s the principle behind this? ? Is it something like pressure compensation, namely the pressure measured by a single flange minus the pressure at the top of the tank? ?
No, a single flange is suitable for containers at normal pressure.
It has not been used on pressure vessels, but vessels under normal pressure are used frequently~~~~
A level gauge operates on the principle of a communicating vessel. Pressure difference = density * g * h; only when the pressure differences are equal will the heights be equal!
Personally, I think it should be possible. The prerequisite is to maintain stable pressure in the tank.
It is possible to maintain a constant pressure in the tank. If the pressure changes, it won’t work

In principle, single-flange pressure-type level gauges are only suitable for normal pressure conditions and not for pressure vessels.
