This intelligent single-flange level transmitter is a high-precision intelligent instrument product independently researched, developed, and manufactured by our company on the basis of many years of scientific research and practical experience.

      This single-flange level transmitter is a new generation of intelligent transmitter produced by adopting sensors manufactured with imported technology and integrating the advanced digital technology developed by our company. In principle, it uses a direct digital capacitance circuit to replace the analog signal amplification circuit and A/D conversion circuit, and applies digital compensation technology to compensate for temperature and static pressure, thereby improving measurement accuracy and reducing temperature drift. The transmitter features compact size, high reliability, and good long-term stability. This product offers extremely high cost performance, making it a mainstream product in the transmitter market.

      This single-flange level transmitter features a novel design principle, complete varieties and specifications, easy installation and use, and safety explosion-proof performance. It is especially known for high accuracy, compact size, light weight, convenient adjustment, good long-term stability, strong unilateral overload protection capability, and suitability for use in harsh environments. Therefore, it enjoys a very high reputation in domestic and international markets. This series of 0.1-grade level transmitters can be widely used in electric power, metallurgy, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, instrument processing, and other industries.

Installation and Use

Before installing and using the single-flange level transmitter, carefully read the product catalog and instruction manual in detail. During installation, the flange must not leak, and the measuring range and wiring must be correct. The housing of the level transmitter generally needs to be grounded, the signal cable must not be laid together with the power cable, and strong electromagnetic interference should be avoided around the transmitter. During use, the transmitter should be periodically verified according to industry regulations.

On-site fault inspection Most faults occurring at construction sites are caused by improper use and installation methods of the level transmitter. In summary, there are several aspects. 1. Pipeline blockage or incorrect installation form, unreasonable pressure tapping point. 2. Leakage or blockage of the pressure guide tube, residual gas in the liquid-filled tube or residual liquid in the gas-filled tube, and sediment in the process flange of the transmitter, forming a measurement dead zone. 3. Incorrect transmitter wiring, excessively high or low power supply voltage, and poor contact at the connection between the indicator head and the instrument wiring terminals. 4. Failure to install strictly in accordance with technical requirements, and the installation method and on-site environment do not meet technical requirements.

Any of the above faults in the level transmitter will cause abnormal transmitter output or inaccurate measurement, but through careful inspection, strict use and installation in accordance with technical requirements, and timely effective measures, the problems can all be eliminated. For faults that cannot be handled, the transmitter should be sent to the laboratory or manufacturer for further inspection.

Installation of Additional Devices

(1) In order to prevent the level transmitter from being affected by corrosion, excessive viscosity, or crystallization of the measured medium, an isolation device should be installed;

(2) In order to ensure that the level transmitter is not affected by sudden changes or pulsating pressure of the measured medium, a buffer should be installed. Especially during sharp pressure increase and decrease, the level transmitter is most likely to be damaged and scrapped, and even the isolation diaphragm may rupture, causing leakage;

(3) In order to ensure that the level transmitter is not affected by the high temperature of the measured medium, a bent tube device filled with liquid should be installed;

(5) Dedicated level transmitters are strictly prohibited from other uses, and it is also strictly prohibited to measure on devices without special reliable arrangements, and it is even more strictly prohibited to use ordinary level transmitters for level measurement of special media;

(6) For newly purchased level transmitters, metrological verification must be carried out before installation and use to prevent vibration, damage, or other factors during transportation of the level instrument from damaging the accuracy.

Routine Maintenance

1、Check dimensions. Only appropriate dimensions can avoid wear

2、Keep the flange clean

3、Select an appropriate location

4、Clean carefully

5、Keep dry

6、Avoid low-temperature interference

7、Prevent pressure overload

Solutions for Errors

1) The impulse tube should be as short as possible;

2) When measuring liquid or steam, the impulse tube should be connected upward to the process pipeline, and its slope should not be less than 1/12;

3) For gas measurement, the impulse tube should be connected downward to the process pipeline, and its slope should not be less than 1/12;

4) The layout of the liquid impulse pipeline should avoid high points in the middle, and the layout of the gas impulse pipeline should avoid low points in the middle;

5) The two impulse tubes should maintain the same temperature;

6) To avoid friction effects, the diameter of the impulse tube should be large enough;

7) There should be no gas in the liquid-filled impulse tube;

8) When using isolation liquid, the liquid in the impulse tubes on both sides should be the same;

9) When using a cleaning agent, the cleaning agent connection should be close to the pressure tapping port of the process pipeline, and the pipelines through which the cleaning agent passes should have the same length and diameter, and the cleaning agent should be prevented from passing through the transmitter.
