• Proper calibration using the weight calculator ensures consistency and reliability of the interface level transmitter over time.

Formula for the calculation

Formula for the volume of the displacer 

Volume of the displacer   V = πr²h

Where,

r = Radius of the displacer.

h = Length of the displacer.

D = Diameter of the displacer 

Formula for calculating the displacer weight loss due to process liquid

Displacer weight loss due to process liquid =Volume of the displacer X Specific gravity of the process liquid

Formula for zero apparent weight calibration 

Weight for zero calibration = Displacer Actual Weight(W) – (Displacer Actual Volume X specific gravity of the Lsg liquid)

 Where 

Lsg = Specific gravity lighter process liquid

W = Actual weight of the displacer 

Formula for span apparent weight calibration 

Weight for Span calibration = Displacer Actual Weight(W) – (Displacer Actual Volume X specific gravity of the Hsg liquid)

 Where 

Hsg = Specific gravity heavier process liquid

  W = Actual weight of the displacer 

Example calculation

Displacer and process liquid characteristics:

W = Displacer weight is 2400 Gram

D = Displacer diameter is 7.0 Centimeter 

H = Length of Displacer is 32.42 Centimeter 

Lsg = Specific gravity of lighter process liquid is 0.7

Hsg = Specific gravity of Heavier process liquid is 1.0

V = Volume of displacer.

So, 

Radius of the displacer r = 7.0/2 = 3.5 centimeters

Displacer Actual volume V = πr²h

Volume V = 3.14 × r² × h 

      = 3.14 × 3.5 × 3.5 × 32.42 = 1247.04 cubic centimeter

Zero calibration weight value calculation (0%)

Displacer weight loss due to lighter process liquid = Displacer Actual Volume X Specific gravity of the Lsg liquid

Weight for zero calibration = Displacer Actual Weight (W) – (Displacer Actual Volume X Specific gravity of the Lsg liquid

Weight for zero calibration = 2400 – (1247 X 0.7)

    = 2400 – 872.9

Weight for zero calibration =1527.1 grams

Span calibration weight value calculation (100%)

Displacer weight loss due to heavier process liquid = Displacer Actual Volume X Specific gravity of the Hsg liquid

Weight for Span calibration = Displacer Actual Weight (W) – (Displacer Actual Volume X specific gravity of the Hsg liquid)

Weight for Span calibration = 2400 – (1247 X 1.0)

    = 2400 – 1247

Weight for Span calibration =1153 grams

Weight for each 25% calibration check of linearity

Actual span weight is calculated by subtracting the weight lost by the displacer due to the heavier process liquid (Hsg) and the lighter specific gravity liquid (Lsg).

Actual span weight = 1247 – 872.9

Actual span weight = 374.1

For each 25% = Actual span weight/4

   = 374.1/4

For each 25% = 93.525 grams
