Flush diaphragmpressure transmitters are commonly used to measure the level of storage tanks, but their maintenance often requires the tanks to be taken out of service.
How can you maintain your level transmitter without having to interrupt your process?

In some industries, such as food, chemicals and paper, the industrial process requires storage tanks to hold liquids, or pressure vessels for manufacturing processes.
To optimize processes and monitor production costs, it is essential to know the level of the liquid contained in the tank or reservoir. This measurement enables decisions to be made about tank supply and discharge phases.
Under these conditions, liquid level measurement must be accurate and reliable. Furthermore, the liquids measured may be aggressive, adhesive, crystallizing, corrosive or viscous.
Flush diaphragm seal pressure transmitters are commonly used to measure storage tank levels.
The diaphragm skims the surface of the tank to prevent clogging of the liquid being measured.
To ensure accurate, reliable measurement, level sensors must be periodically removed for cleaning, inspection and calibration.
Traditionally, this maintenance represents a major inconvenience: the tanks have to be taken out of service and their contents removed.
Checking the accuracy of your level-measuring instrument could mean production stoppage and the associated financial losses.
Fuji Electric's retractable diaphragm seal sensor prevents production stoppages.
Thanks to its integrated ball valve, it becomes possible to isolate, under load, the level sensor and the fluid measured on the process.
The level sensor can be removed without emptying the tank.
This means that cleaning, maintenance, sensor calibration or instrument replacement can be carried out at any time, without stopping the manufacturing process.
This unique combination consists of a flush diaphragm level sensor and a special ball valve.
It guarantees accurate measurement while allowing the process to continue without loss of production, thus increasing equipment availability.
The use of the retractable level sensor is a real boon when you consider the cost of production downtime in any industrial environment.
