| Can you help me understand physical meaning of measuring water level by measuring differential pressure? In open water tank it's fairly easy. One side of the transmitter is open and exposed to athmospheric pressure. In such case, differential pressure is directly proportional to water level: deltap = density * g * level, and simply I can setup appropriate scale for instrument. In case if tank is closed under high pressure and temperature such ase steam boiler drum, level is measured with differential pressure transmitter. Tankage is made of steam and water, in upper part is steam and in lower part is water. One transmitter pipe (steam side - upper) has some kind of vessel whose purpose is to condensate steam int water, so practically both pipes to transmitter is filled with water. Lower transmitter pipe has direct connection to the tank. Principle is fairly easy, differential pressure that is difference in pressures between both transmitter pipes is directly related to the water level. If water level is higher, differential pressure is lower. Now in order to measure it reliably this deltaP information needs to be corrected regarding pressure and temperature in the tanke, because density of water (and steam) is changing. Can you suggest me link where can I find these informations in order to calculate level correctly? I hope, I was clear and you'd understand my question. Thanks |
