The following instrumentation is suitable to solve this
application:
• 2 pressure sensors, in order to measure the head
and bottom pressure.
• Process transmitter for the power supply of both
pressure sensors, calculation of the volume using
the pressure difference as well as the output and
monitoring the head pressure and volume.
• 2 field displays front-end indication.
Calculation of the tank volume is done in three stages:
1. Transmission of the head and base pressure to the input of
the process transmitter in pressure units. Here the scaling of
the pressure sensors is done:
2. Calculation of the differential pressure in pressure units by
the mathematics channel:
