Calculation
Set range calculation Ex. STD Type
Calculate the set range using these procedures:
The following symbols are used to express density and distance.
It is assumed that the density is fixed, during liquid level measurement.
: Specific gravity of liquid in tank
: Specific gravity of liquid in high pressure side connecting pipe
l : Distance between 100% liquid level and 0% liquid level (measurement range)
h : Distance between 0% liquid level and high-pressure outlet port
d : Distance between high-pressure outlet port and transmitter

Differential pressure at 0% liquid level (Pressure on high-pressure side - Pressure on
low-pressure side) = h + d = LRV
Differential pressure at 100% liquid level (Pressure on high-pressure side - Pressure
on low-pressure side) = l + h + d = (l+h) + d = URV
Therefore, set the range as follows:
Low limit (LRV): h+ d ; High limit (URV): (l+h) r+ dr0
Example of calculation: l = 1500 mm, h = 250 mm, d = 500 mm = 0.9, = 1.0
If the above conditions are assumed, the following results are obtained:
Differential pressure at 0% liquid level = (250 x 0.9) + (500 x 1.0) = 725 mmH2O =
7.110 kPa
Differential pressure at 100% liquid level = {(1500 + 250) x 0.9) + (500 x 1.0) = 2075
