EStadhouders Posts: 5 Rating: (0)	I want to install a new analog sensor to measure the level in a tank. The measurements of the tank are: 6 meter high, 4 meter wide en 2 meter deep. I want to know which type of sensor I could use best for this tank. My requirement for the sensor is to measure with 2 decimals after the point. Can anyone help me with this?

Tank is open or closed. Regarding Electrical Connection, Whats is your PLC IO - 4-20mA, Profibus ?? Can you put more details ?

Hello, Level Measurement Sensor Selection Key questions to ask before selecting a level measurement sensor: Are you measuring a liquid or solid? What are the application's temperature and pressure ranges? Is point level or continuous measurement required? Is the measured material electrically conductive? Will the material coat or build up on surfaces? Does turbulence, foam, or vapor occur at the surface of the liquid? Will you need contact or non-contact level measurement?

Hello, The best levelsensor in this application is radar or ball sensor. We specify the type of sensor after knowing all the properties of liquid and tank. Best regards,,,,,

MHasan Posts: 63 Rating: (4)	May be differential pressure sensors can be a good idea. Like SITRANS P transmitters for level

At page 11 is a complete chart for the brewing process listed. http://www.automation.siemens.com/mcms/infocenter/dokumentencenter/sc/bl/Documentsu20Brochures/E20001-A180-P780-X-7600.pdf Additional, here a casestudy for the TDR LG240 in a malt extract production with much foam. https://www.automation.siemens.com/mcms/sensor-systems/CaseStudies/malt_production_lg_en.pdf Cheers !
