KUM2601 Clamp On Level Gauge_Application LPG Tank

1. Product Overview

KUM2601 Clamp On Level Gauge (hereinafter referred to as level gauge) is a kind of instrument developed by our company, which uses sonar ranging principle to measure liquid level inside of the container from the outside (bottom) of the container. This product realizes complete isolation measurement.

The liquid level gauge breaks the traditional installation method of open tank contact, and realizes the real non-contact measurement of liquid level height in sealed container. Sonar sensor (probe) is installed directly below the outer wall of the vessel under test (bottom). It does not need to open a hole in the vessel under test. It is easy to install and can be installed without stopping production. It can accurately measure the liquid levels of various toxic substances, strong acids, alkalis and various pure liquids in high temperature and high pressure sealed containers.

3.Application Scope

3.1 Medium Viscosity

In general, the dynamic viscosity of the measured medium is required to be less than 10 mPa.S. When 10 mPa.S < dynamic viscosity < 30 mPa.S, the instrument range may be reduced and the blind area increased. When dynamic viscosity > 30 mPa. S, it can not be measured. (1 mPa.S = 1 cP)

Notice: With the increase of temperature, the viscosity decreases. Most of the high viscosity liquids are more obviously affected by temperature. Therefore, temperature should be paid attention to when measuring the high viscosity liquids.

3.2 Medium Purity

• There should be no dense bubbles in liquids.
• There should be no large amount of suspended substances, such as crystals, in the liquid.
• There should be no large amount of sediment in the liquid, such as sediment.

3.3 Container

The container wall at the installation of sonar probe requires that it be made of hard material capable of transmitting signals well. For example: carbon steel, stainless steel, various hard metals, fiberglass reinforced plastics, epoxy resin, hard plastics, ceramics, glass, hard rubber and other materials or other composite materials. The inner and outer surface of the container wall should be flat. If the container wall is mufti-layer material, there should be close contact between layers without air bubble or gas inter layer. For example, vulcanized hard rubber lining, epoxy resin lining, stainless steel lining, titanium lining and so on.

 3.4 Medium Temperature Requirements

The allowable temperature range of the probe is -50 ~ 100℃. Because the probe is close to the wall of the container, the temperature of the probe is similar to that of the wall of the container. Therefore, the temperature of the medium to be measured is generally required to be within – 50~100℃.

3.5 Instrument Ambient Temperature

The ambient temperature range of the main engine of the liquid level gauge is -40 ~80℃. In the northern area, it is recommended to use instrument protection box. In the areas with strong direct sunlight, it is suggested to install the instrument in a shady place or use a sunshade, which can avoid the excessive temperature in the instrument caused by the sun exposure, and also can provide good ventilation and heat dissipation.

3.6 Explosion-Proof, Anti-Corrosion and Protection Grade

The external level gauge adopts the explosion-proof and anti-corrosion structure of aluminum alloy casting seal, epoxy spraying on the surface. It is suitable for harsh environment with explosive mixture gas, medium concentration corrosive gas and 0-95% humidity range.

Non-intrusive level gauge Explosion-proof grade: ExdIICT6.

Anti-corrosion grade: WF1 Outdoor intermediate corrosion protection Protection grade: IP67
