Level measurement for marine vessel tank
Level measurement for marine vessel tank is a crucial part of the ship automation monitoring system. Measure tank level is very challenging based on several factors including liquid composition, tank geometry, fill or empty rates, etc. Moreover, for measuring levels on marine vessel tanks, there is added intricacy with this non-stationary environment.
Tank radar gauges are a prime element in the cargo monitoring system. The Rosemount tank radar gauges are designed in such a way that it can address some of the challenges including condensation, interfering radar echoes, high-powered cleaning machines and the waves caused by vessel movements due to sea conditions.
In hydrostatic level measurement, the measuring cell of the pressure transmitter detects the tiny changes in hydrostatic pressure. This hydrostatic pressure enhances or decreases depending on the filling level. The acting pressure is converted into an electrical signal by the integrated electronics. Then, it is outputted as an output signal. Based on the hydrostatic principle, various types of measuring cells are used in level measurement.
Advantages
· Level management with hydrostatics is unaffected by foaming or vessel installations
· Ceramic measuring cells offer astonishing long-term stability, durability, and high overload resistance
· Metallic measuring cells also cover larger measuring ranges.
