In the world of industrial storage and measurement, accurate monitoring of material levels in containers is crucial. Among them, floating roof containers are widely used to store volatile liquids such as petroleum products due to their unique design features.
In this application field, radar level meters have become an ideal choice due to their high accuracy and non-contact measurement advantages.
The purpose of this article is to explore why radar level gauges are suitable for measuring level in floating roof vessels.
Floating roof containers have the following salient features: Variable volume: The top of the floating roof container is floating and moves up and down as the stored materials increase or decrease, thereby reducing the gas space and reducing the evaporation loss of volatile substances.
Reduce losses: Since the floating roof is close to the liquid surface, the surface area of the liquid is greatly reduced, effectively reducing the evaporation and oxidation of the liquid, which is especially suitable for the storage of volatile media.
Complex structure: The design of the floating roof is relatively complex and usually includes multiple mechanical components, such as floating plates, sealing devices, guide rails, etc., which increases the difficulty of maintenance.
High safety requirements: Since flammable and explosive liquids are often stored, the safety performance requirements of measuring equipment are extremely high.
Taking into account the special structure of the floating roof container and the characteristics of the storage medium, the radar level meter becomes an ideal choice.
Firstly, the non-contact measurement method of the radar level gauge means that it does not interfere with the natural floating of the floating roof, nor does it cause inaccurate readings due to fluctuations in the liquid. Secondly, due to the complex internal structure of the floating roof vessel, traditional measurement methods may not be able to adapt.
However, the radar level meter can be installed outside the vessel to avoid conflict with the internal structure. In addition, the high accuracy and stability of the radar level meter ensures reliable measurement data when storing volatile liquids, thus ensuring safety and economic benefits.
To sum up, the combination of radar level meter and floating roof container is undoubtedly an efficient monitoring solution.
Radar level meters not only meet the high standards of measurement technology required for floating roof vessels, but also provide a safe and reliable measurement method.
