Volume Conversion
Volume conversion can be applied to the measurement, to convert level into
volume.
Note:
Volume calculation is an optional feature. MiniRangers with the volume
feature have this icon on the front: .
For this example we'll assume the following:
• the vessel is a 3 ft diameter by 15 ft long cylinder (including the parabolic
ends of 1.5 ft each).
• the maximum vessel filling rate is 1 ft per minute (slower at mid level).
• a mA output scaled from 4 mA at Full to 20 mA at Empty is required for PLC
operation.
• in the event of a measurement difficulty, failsafe operation is to be activated
in 6 seconds.
• if the difficulty doesn't subside, the mA output must immediately default to
high.
• an XCT-8 transducer is mounted in a standpipe so that the face is 18 in.
