1. Principle of Operation

External liquid lever sensor with sonar ranging principle,

using the temperature integrate sensor to process the sonar

signal. the sensor is pasted in the outerwall of the tank. Using the

patented algorithm to calculate the height of the liquid in the

tank and output to a remote control system(eg.DCS) through

(4-20)mA,HART, RS-485, Modbus.

According the figure right, the time is taken for the signal to

be transmitted and then received from the liquid surface. Signals

from the transducer are fed into the processor and then

processed by patented algorithm to calculate the height of the

liquid according to the formula:

H=αV(t-t1)/2

H: height of the liquid

v: velocity of sound in the liquid

t: time between transmitted and received signal

t g : propagation time in the tank wall

α :liquid compensation factor

2. Applications

LPG tanks

liquid ammonia tanks

liquid chlorine tanks

liquid propene tanks

liquid propane tanks

Fuel tanks

Acids/solvents tanks

Concentrated sulfuric acid(98%) tanks
