How Is D.P Transmitter Applied To A Close Tank & Open Tank With Dry Leg or Wet Leg?

The document discusses how differential pressure transmitters are applied to open tanks with dry legs and close tanks with wet legs. For an open tank, the transmitter span is calculated using the height (X) and specific gravity of the liquid (GL). The minimum and maximum head of water levels are also calculated using heights (X, Y, Z) and specific gravities (GL, GS). For a close tank with a wet leg, the span and minimum/maximum head of water levels are calculated using heights (X, Y) and specific gravities (GL, GS), with the minimum level also accounting for the depth (d) and specific gravity (GS) of the seal liquid. Examples of calculations are provided for an open tank

How is D.P transmitter applied to a close tank & open tank with
dry leg or wet leg?
Span = ( X ) ( GL )
HW at minimum level = ( Z ) ( GS ) + ( Y ) ( GL )
HW at maximum leve l = ( Z ) ( GS ) + ( X + Y ) ( GL )

Where :
GL = Specific gravity of tank liquid.
GS = Specific gravity of seal liquid.
HW = Equivalent head of water.
X, Y & Z are shown in fig (1.1)

Example :
Open tank with X = 300 inches
Y = 50 inches
Z = 10 inches
GL = 0.8

HW at minimum level = ( 10 ) ( 0.9 ) + ( 50 ) ( 0.8 ) = 49 inches
HW at maximum level = (10 ) ( 0.9 ) + ( 50 + 300 ) ( 0.8 ) = 289 inches
Calibrated range = 49 to 289 inches head of water

Close tank with wet leg:


Span = ( X ) ( GL )
HW at minimum level = ( Y ) ( GL ) – ( d )( GS )
HW at maximum level = ( X + Y ) ( GL ) – ( d ) ( GS )
Where : GL = Specific gravity of tank liquid
GS = Specific gravity of tank liquid
HW = Equivalent head of water
X, Y and Z are shown in fig.
