Off topic, but I know you guys deal with all sorts.
Basically, I have got a tank, that I need to measure level in.
I don't really want to put a radar, or ultrasonic probe in the top, I would prefer to use hydro-static pressure.
That means having a pressure transmitter in the top, and one in the bottom.
Now the problem is the one in the bottom. I would prefer to not have to cut into the tank, so that means installing the bottom transmitter in the outlet pipe.
I have tried this, and when I start to empty the tank (30,000 l/hr) i am pulling a vacuum on the pressure transmitter meaning I am getting a 0 reading for my level.
Has anyone successfully fitted a pressure transmitter into a pipe and got it to measure level in a tank?
The transmitter I am using is an IFM PI2794.
Cheers
