Measure Level of Diesel Fuel in a Tank
The Problem:
Take a quick drive, and you’ll probably pass a diesel tank. From private farms, to industrial
sites, to shipping vessells, storage of diesel fuel is necessary everywhere. Many
times, critical equipment depends on having fuel available, so knowing the level of fuel
inside these closed tanks is essential. From sub-base tanks to day-tanks, AMETEK STC
has trusted a level measurement solution.
The Solution:
An Ametek Model 575 intrinsically safe submersible level transmitter and a Model
DDMC meter/controller can continuously monitor the fuel level in the tank. An AMETEK
Model 575 with optional conduit
adapter is used in the tank and an
electrical conduit protects the cable.
A Model DDMC meter is used
to power the Model 575 through
approved electrical barriers. The
DDMC meter provides a continuous
display of the level in the tank.
