I have a lot of tanks that currently do not have any way of measuring the level, a few have sight glasses rigged up but these are a pain to CIP & ideally id like to have the level in the PLC.
The product is beer & the tanks are pressurized, around 1-2 bar head pressure applied. From looking around and speaking to people using pressure transducers at the top & bottom will be my best bet for this application.
Now onto my questions:
1. Can i install the pressure transducer in the pipe on the tank outlet rather than in the tank?
2. Will the reading be stable enough if i install a pressure transducer in the nitrogen/co2 supply pipe (the supply to provide the head pressure)?
My reasoning for this, it is going to be a nightmare to get to the top of each of the tanks to install each of the pressure transducers then inside to polish, clean & re-certificate the pressure vessel. If i can install in the pipe i dont need too. The costs for walkways, scaffolding, internal scaffolding all starts to mount up with around 100 tanks :S
Cheers,
Ash
