Set range calculation Ex. STE/STR Type
Calculate the set range using these procedure:
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 sealed liquid
l
: Distance between 100% liquid level and 0% liquid level (measurement range)
h
: Distance between 0% liquid level and lower flange of tank
d
: Distance between upper flange of tank and lower flange of tank

Differential pressure at 0% liquid level (Pressure on high-pressure side - Pressure on
low-pressure side) =
d
- h
= LRV
Differential pressure at 100% liquid level (Pressure on high-pressure side - Pressure
on low-pressure side) =
d
- (l+h)
= URV
Therefore, set the range as follows:
Low limit (LRV):
d
- h
, High limit (URV):
d
- (l+h)
Example of calculation:
l = 1500 mm, h = 250 mm, d = 2000 mm, = 0.9,
= 0.935
If the above conditions are assumed, the following results are obtained:
Differential pressure at 0% liquid level = (2000 x 0.935) - (250 x 0.9) = 1645 mmH

O
= 16.13 kPa
Differential pressure at 100% liquid level = (2000 x 0.935) + (1500 x 250) x 0.9 = 295
mmH
2
O = 2.893 kPa
Therefore, set the range as follows:
Low limit (LRV): 16.13 kPa{1645 mmH

O}, High limit (URV): 2.893 kPa {295
