Distinguished from their shape, storage tanks are divided into lying tanks, round tanks, conical tanks, vaulted tanks, and so on; distinguished from their use, storage tanks are also divided into process tanks and metering tanks. So, if the radar level meter is used to measure crude oil in the process, and the crude oil is installed in the vaulted tank, what should be noted?
Firstly, process tank measurement should pay attention to the selection and installation of the radar level meter. Process tanks are not used for direct trading, so the accuracy requirements are not very high, but stability is an aspect that needs attention. For radar level meter selection, you can consider high-frequency radar level meters. When installing, pay attention to whether there are stirring devices or heating devices in the tank. If so, pay attention to avoiding these obstacles so as not to cause inaccurate or even unmeasurable measurements.
Secondly, the measurement in the arch tank should pay attention to the installation of the radar level meter. From the arch tank alone as a tank, the radar level meter selection is basically unaffected, but the installation needs some attention. As a rule, the radar level meter is installed in the vaulted tank, never in the middle of the filling roof, so as not to produce indirect echoes and affect the real echo.
Finally, radar level meter to measure crude oil, pay attention to the characteristics of crude oil, and choose the appropriate radar level meter model. According to the data, for a long time in the past, the level measurement of crude oil vaulted tanks, are used to manually check the ruler + steel belt level meter, the results often appear in card steel belts, card shafts,s, and other situations.
This is due to the characteristics of crude oil. Crude oil has a certain viscosity and, if a heating device is present, water vapor will also be present. When choosing a radar level meter, choose a non-contact radar level meter whenever possible.
The measured medium uses different, the choice of level meter is different; the measured medium uses different tanks, the choice of level meter is different; the measured medium has different characteristics, and the level meter type is also different.
Therefore, no matter what kind of medium is measured, it is necessary to know the working conditions, know the medium, know the use, so as to ensure that the right type is selected, the measurement can be accurate, and the liquid level meter can play its best role.
