2.2 FUNCTION HTG uses product hydrostatic pressure measurements to derive both specific<br />

gravity and liquid level. A typical HTG system uses three pressure<br />

transmitters: one near the bottom of the tank, another above the first, and a<br />

third at the top.<br />

calculation<br />

Comparison of the pressure readouts from the two submerged transmitters<br />

are used to calculate the specific gravity of the liquid thus generating mass<br />

and density. The liquid level can be determined by comparing readouts from<br />

the transmitter above the liquid level (which measures the vapor pressure in<br />

the tank) and the transmitter at the bottom.<br />
