6.2.3. Interface detection The principle consists of a conductivity the liquid as well and the conductivity measurement between active electrodes associated electronic electrode and a grounded electrode. circuits modulate the coded signal to When the liquid is conductive (as water), generate the intermittent beep.
6.3. Tape The ETFE (TEFZEL) coated tape provides 3 main index is set up at the zero ullage level, the functions : reading of the tape is identical to the ullage. − It holds the sensing probe. − It contains 2 wires for transmitting the signal and the power between the display unit and the probe.
6.4. Tape protection The tape protection tube is a mechanical safety prevents closing the valve. When the tape is device which prevents the valve from being closed wound up the protection tube will stay in position as long as the sensing probe is inside the tank. until it is pushed up by the sensing probe.
6.5. Reading index Zero ullage 1200 Reference level of tank 1100 1000 Liquid level Reaction point Figure 7-9 The tape reading at the height of the reading index point of the sensing probe is positioned at the of the instrument is indicating the distance liquid level.
6.6. Tape cleaner position "DOWN": the wipers are not working, This HERMetic equipment is fitted with a tape the tape is free; cleaner that helps draining the liquid back to the position "UP": the wipers are cleaning the tank when rewinding the tape. It is very easy to tape.
6.7. Gas tightness 6.9. Housing and lid All parts are assembled together with either These parts are made in aluminium coated with gaskets or O-rings, that makes the device PA11 (Rilsan®). completely tight. The sealing of the axle holding the tape with the 6.10.
7. Examples of installation of the gauging system 7.1. General The gauging system consists of the HERMetic When designing the gauging port and to avoid instrument and the associated HERMetic valve. damaging the tape during rewinding it is advised Two types of connector can be provided as shown to chamfer or to grind all sharp edges (on pipes, on Figure 8-1.
