04/12/2010 5:38 AM

I am in the process of selecting a displacer type transmitter. My vessel Total Inner dia is 1560 mm. Please tell me what should be the length of the displacer i should select to measure the level in this tank. Please tell me, it would be enough If I measure vessel level from 15% to 95%. PLEASE HELP ME OUT

Depends what you want to do with the level data. If you never need to know exactly what the level is when it's less than 15% or greater than 95%, then it would obviously be fine.

Don't want to seem insulting, but this seems to be a bit of a no-brainer.

We know the diameter. It is easy: without a height or a volume you don't need a length, since your vessel cannot contain any liquid. Please provide a height or volume.

Currently - between 15% and 100% of the 1560mm, assuming it is going in from the top. What is the height of the instrument connection above the 1560mm? Add that to the length.
