Selecting the Measuring Range
When selecting the measuring range it is important to consider the tank height, vent pipe
height, the tank type and the specific gravity (SG) of the tank contents.
The transducer measures the height of the fluid from the transducer diaphragm to the sur-
face of the fluid, including the fluid in the vent pipe.
To ensure measuring accuracy a transducer type within the range no. 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 is rec-
ommended.
Guidelines for selection of transducer measuring ranges are set out in the following.
Basic Rules
1. The selected measuring range must be larger than the tank height.
2. The selected measuring range must be larger than: (tank height + vent pipe height) / 2
Example:
Tank height = 6 m
Vent pipe height = 14 m
1. The selected measuring range must be larger than 6 m due to the height of the tank.
2. The selected measuring range must be larger than (6 + 14) / 2 = 10 m due to the total
height of the tank and the vent pipe combined.
Select a transducer with a measuring range of 16 mH
2
O as this is the next measuring
range larger than 10 m.
Turn the range select switch on the amplifier to range No. 7.
Normally the selection of transducer, range select and calibration are done by Marine Tank
Management.
Special consideration applies to e.g. forepeak tanks and draft measuring when selecting
the measuring range of the transducer.
