In addition to the list above, there are a number of
certificates or approvals for optional equipment
which can be delivered by Saab Rosemount Tank
Control. Junction boxes, pressure transducers,
water interface sensors, etc. have approvals in the
name of their manufacturers. Copies of these can be
requested from Saab Rosemount Tank Control.
Vapor Influence on Radar Measurement
For a few specific products there can be a
measurable influence on the level accuracy, if the
composition of the vapor varies between no vapor
and fully saturated vapor condition. However,
there is no noticeable influence, if the vapor
variation is small.
For these specific products it is in many cases
sufficient that the pressure and temperature is
measured. The software in the Radar Tank Gauge
then automatically corrects for the influence from
the vapor. This is for example performed when
measuring in LPG tanks.
Gases that are known to affect the transmission of
radar waves are:
Propylene oxide
Etylether
Propylether
Acetaldehyde
Propionaldehyde
Isobutyraldehyde
Acetone
2-Butanone
Methanol
One gas that dampens (or attenuates) the radar
signal is ammonia. In applications where ammonia
is involved, Saab Rosemount Tank Control should
always be contacted for evaluation of the application.
