Open Tank Level Transmitter Calibration

Here you have two cells one for high pressure and one for low.

Open tank level transmitter calibration.

Open tank level measurement using dp transmitter the figure above illustrates an application where the level value is inferred from a pressure measurement. Note that δp is measured in inches of water column in wc. In fact the basic equation is easy but it gets more complex once we start layering in factors like installation type of differential pressure transmitter and more. When the level is at the same elevation point as the measuring instrument atmospheric pressure is applied to both sides of the pressure transmitter and the measurement.

When you re looking for a transmitter to mount on one of your tanks you need to determine the right fit calibration range for the application. In above example transmitter installed point and tank zero percentage level are different. In this closed tank application with a dry leg condition if the level transmitter is mounted at the base of the tank then it can be calibrated with the 0 level 4ma and the 100 level 20ma. Closed tank level measurement calculation is a recurring question and a dp differential pressure transmitter is one of the best tools for it.

With level measurement based on hydrostatic pressure the high pressure cell goes at the bottom of the tank. Level transmitter zero scale above hp tapping point. Range 11 to 55 inh2o. First we need to talk about how differential pressure transmitters work.
