Set range calculation Ex. STG Type
Calculate the set range using these procedures:
The following symbols are used to express density and distance.
It is assumed that the density is fixed, during liquid level measurement.
:Specific gravity of liquid in tank
:Specific gravity of liquid in connecting pipe
l
:Distance between 100% liquid level and 0% liquid level (measurement range)
h
:Distance between 0% liquid level and high-pressure outlet port
d
:Distance between high-pressure outlet port and transmitter
Figure 5-8
Pressure at 0% liquid level =
h + d
=
LRV
Pressure at 100% liquid level =
l + h + d
= (l+h)r+ d
= URV
Therefore, set the range as follows:
Low limit (LRV):
h + d
; High limit (URV):
(l+h) + d
Example of calculation:
l = 1500 mm, h = 250 mm, d = 500 mm
= 0.9,
= 1.0
If the above conditions are assumed, the following results are obtained:
Differential pressure at 0% liquid level = (250 x 0.9) + (500 x 1.0) = 725 mmH

O =
7.110 kPa
Differential pressure at 100% liquid level = {(1500 + 250) x 0.9) + (500 x 1.0) = 2075

O = 20.35 kPa
Therefore, set the range as follows:
Low limit (LRV): 7.110 kPa{725 mmH
