LPG spherical tank
Level and pressure monitoring in liquid gas tanks
Process data
Measuring task:
Level and pressure measurement
Measuring point:
Sphere
Measuring range up to:
20 m
Medium:
LPG
Process temperature:
-10 … +45 °C
Process pressure:
+1 … +3 bar
Special challenges:
Low temperature, low dielectric constants
Application
LPG tanks are usually only accessible for service and maintenance work every few years during shut-down periods. In addition, the containers are mostly installed underground or covered with earth. The solution is a process independent measuring system that delivers safe and reliable readings despite low dielectric constants and low temperatures.
Your benefit
Reliable
High measuring accuracy despite low dielectric constants
Cost effective
Maintenance-free operation
User friendly
Sensor replacement even during operation thanks to cut-off valve
