There are two types of mounting possible in the suppression type level measurement as shown below
Non – Zero based direct mount – open tank level measurement
The level transmitter is positioned in the same level position as the HP tapping point when it is connected. But the minimum range of the level is above the HP tapping point.
Non – Zero based remote mount – open tank level measurement
In the tank, the level transmitter was installed in a location that was below the HP tapping point.
LRV Calculation
When the tank is filled with minimum level h1(0%),
DP = Patm+(SG*h)+(SG*h1) – Patm
PH.P = Patm+(SG*h)+(SG*h1)
When level is at zero h=0
= Patm+(SG*0)+(SG*h1)
PH.P =Patm+(SG*h1)
PL.P = Patm
LRV = PH.P. – PL.P
= Patm+(SG*h1) – Patm
LRV=(SG*h1)
Estimating the URV
When the tank is completely full of liquid (h), determine the transmitter’s differential pressure (DP).
PH.P = Patm +(SG*h)+(SG*h1)
PL.P = Patm
URV = P.HP – P.LP
= Patm+(S.G*h)+(SG*h1) – Patm
URV = (S.G*h)+(SG*h1)
Range of the transmitter = (SG*h1) to (S.G*h)+(SG*h1)
