Speed of sound (P024)
This is for entering the speed of sound of the gas above the liquid surface (ullage gas) in a closed
tank at 32
F (0
C) (see
).
A new speed of sound is then calculated for the ullage gas at the temperature and humidity level
in the tank (see calculated Speed of Sound on
). The correction for temperature effects
is made using the parameter Temperature (
) and assumes the entered Speed of Sound
(P024) value is valid at 32
F (0
C).
For systems monitoring aqueous liquids with air (or nitrogen) as the primary gas in the ullage
space, the entered Speed of Sound (P024) value should be 1088.6 ft/s (331.80 m/s). This is the
most accurate setting for temperatures in the range of 32 to 104
F (0 to 40
C).
If the tank vapor space is filled with a different gas, a revised Speed of Sound (P024) value should
be entered. Gas mixtures have speed of sound values calculated as an average according to the
proportion of the gases present.
