Model 924A Probes
CAUTION: CANNOT BE MULTI-DROPPED ON
VSMART.
The Model 924A Probe utilizes magnetostrictive
technology to derive accurate product and water levels. It
is primarily used in underground storage tanks for
inventory and leak detection. Two floats can be fitted to
the probe shaft; the product float sits on top of the product
and the water float (optional) sinks through the product
and sits on top of the water at the bottom of the tank.
Five temperature sensors reside in the probe shaft for
measuring product temperature at different levels in the
tank. They are located at positions of approximately 20%,
40%, 60% and 80% of the tank’s volume. The sensors
feed the data of the temperature of the fuel to the console.
The console software is then able to make the
calculations to produce a net corrected product volume.
