The document discusses different level measurement principles and techniques such as differential pressure measurement, interface level measurement, dry leg and wet leg systems, level compensation methods, and different styles of level transmitters.

A differential pressure transmitter measures the pressure difference between two tapping points which is calibrated to read the liquid level in terms of units like water column. The differential pressure is directly proportional to the liquid height as per the hydrostatic pressure formula.

The document discusses open tank measurement, closed tank measurement, interface level measurement using overflow nozzle, dry leg system, wet leg system.

LEVEL TRANSMITTERS
LIQUID HEAD MEASUREMENT Principle

• The hydrostatic pressure at the base of the vessel containing


liquid is directly proportional to the height of the liquid

• A differential pressure transmitter measures pressure


difference between tapping points and is calibrated to read the
level in terms of water column or any other unit.

• Mathematical relation
Hydrostatic Pressure p=ρgh

p-Pressure
ρ-Density
g-acc. due to gravity
h-Height
OPEN TANK MEASUREMENT

 Pressure at HP side = Patm + ρgH


 Pressure at LP side = Patm
 Differential pressure ΔP = P(HP) – P(LP) = ρgH

4-20 mA
CLOSED TANK MEASUREMENT

 Pressure at HP side = Pgas + ρgH


 Pressure at LP side = Pgas
 Differential pressure ΔP = P(HP) – P(LP) = ρgH
INTERFACE LEVEL MEASUREMENT

Overflow Nozzle
