7.11.15 Pressure Transmitter used to Measure Level in an Open Tank
Situation #1
The level of an open tank is to be measured using a pressure tap at the bottom of the tank. The
level measurement will be used to control the level of liquid in the tank. The maximum level at
the tank is 16 ft. The liquid in the tank has a density that makes the level correspond to a
pressure of 7.0 psi at the pressure tap (Figure 7-9).
