Volume Application
In addition to simple liquid level and pump applications, volume conversions can be
included in the calibration.
Common Tank Shapes
Volume conversion is provided for 8 common tank shapes, (P-34). Dimensions are
entered using P-4, 35 and 36. Volume is displayed as 0 - 100% and may be converted
to volume units using P-37.
Note that P-4, span, must equal 100% (full) level of tank.
Example 4
The application is to measure the volume of glue in a horizontal tank with parabolic
ends. The tank manufacturer’s specifications state that the total volume is 40.6
cubic meters.
The maximum fill/draw rate is 0.35 cu. m/min. In the event of a loss of echo, the
HydroRanger I is to go into fail-safe high after 30 sec.
