Q: How do I check the water level in my tank?

Everyone knows that there are only two ways to detect the water level of the water tank : manually check the water level detection function realized by the guard sensor and so on. Manual review will have the disadvantages of inaccurate positioning, time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, many water tank water level control is usually solved by sensors . The water level sensor is a kind of sensor commonly used to detect the liquid level to realize the liquid level control function. It can realize the functions of water shortage protection, no water alarm, anti-overflow function, automatic water addition and so on. Extended reading: Float Switch Water Level Controller

Q: Which sensor is best for water level indicator?

Q: Do ultrasonic sensors work on water?

Yes. Measuring the level of water with ultrasonic sensors is a very common application. Remote water level monitoring is required in many places. Such as factory reservoirs, reservoirs for farmland irrigation, water towers for water supply, river water levels, etc. It is important to do a good job of remote monitoring of water levels in these areas. Ultrasonic liquid level sensor , non-contact measurement of water level. easy installation. Easy to use. Ultrasonic technology is not only used to measure level, but also can be used to measure depth. Extended reading: RF Admittance Level Sensor

Question 1

Application of butadiene

Accepted Answer

In a rubber project, it is necessary to measure the level of butadiene in a spherical tank. Butadiene is easy to self-polymerize to produce high molecular polymers. The selection of ordinary liquid level instruments is relatively limited.

According to the "Tank Farm Automation System Design Regulations", "each pressure storage tank should be equipped with two sets of independent and different types of liquid level measuring instruments". If this project chooses conventional contact liquid level gauge. Butadiene is very likely to self-polymerize at the dead corner of the detection port. Therefore, the non-contact type is given priority in the selection of the liquid level gauge.

Question 2

Application of liquid ammonia

Accepted Answer

In the design of a liquid ammonia spherical tank, the externally attached ultrasonic level gauge also has a good application.

The liquid ammonia in the storage tank is a colorless, pungent odor toxic liquid, which is corrosive to a certain extent.

Because the density of liquid ammonia is greatly affected by temperature, the differential pressure liquid level gauge is not applicable in this project. Finally, the External Tank Level Indicator is selected for detection.

Question 3

Application of high pressure storage tank

Accepted Answer

In a high-pressure hydrogenation unit, the parameters of the original level gauge on the high-pressure storage tank were unstable. The owner wants to add a level gauge to compare it with.

However, the on-site installation space of the high-pressure container is small, and the re-opening conditions are not available. After negotiation, it was decided to use an externally attached ultrasonic level gauge.

Not only avoids the economic loss caused by the shutdown of the device and hot work. It also eliminates the potential safety hazard of new leak points of pressure vessels. Simple, precise and reliable installation.

Question 4

other applications

Accepted Answer

Externally mounted ultrasonic level gauges have lower dielectric constants in some. Such as liquefied gas (dielectric constant <1.9) or the liquid surface contains a large number of bubbles and other situations where the radar level gauge is not suitable for use. Can be a good replacement for radar level gauges.

In some highly corrosive acid-base storage tanks, such as liquid chlorine storage tanks, etc. Externally attached ultrasonic level gauges are also very useful.

Common available media for externally attached ultrasonic level gauges include liquid chlorine, liquefied gas, liquid ammonia, ethylene, butadiene, gasoline, diesel, benzene, liquid bromine, hydrochloric acid, lye, nitric acid, methanol, vinyl chloride, hydrofluoric acid , ethylene glycol, propane, naphtha, ethylene oxide, dimethyl ether.
