we have LPG spherical Tank and we want to install DP Xmtr
for level measurement.below are the physical measurements
Total height of tank is 1850 mtr but 0% level is 1000mm
above bottom and 100% level is 450 below upper side.What is
the LRV and URV and please mention the formula .The SG of
LPG is 0.53 and Wet Leg method will be used.

Answer / bill arbour
If the height of this spherical tank is 1850 meters, then
it has got to be the biggest spherical tank in the world.
It would be almost 2 Kms high. Check your numbers.

Answer / jabi
suppose the total height of tank is 18.5 mtr
LRV= 1mtr above from ground
URV= 14 mtr above from the ground(4.5mt below the top heigt)
Low pressure side total height= 13mtr
Differential pressure at LRV:
P(high)= height x SG
= 1 mtr x 0.53
= 530 mmWC
P (low)= 13 mtr x 0.53
= 6890 mmWC
LRV is equal to P(high)-P(low)
= 530-6890
= -6360 mmWC
Differential Pressure at URV:
P(high)= 14mtr x 0.53
= 7420 mmWC
P(low)= 13 mtr x 0.53
= 6890 mmWC
URV is equal to P(high)-P(low)
= 7420-6890
= 530 mmWC

Answer / ghalib
first the question is not clear,the total height of the
tank given in mtr(1850)but the 0% is above 1000mm,ok,but
100% level is 450 below upper side,(this 450 is in what-mm
or meter,pls make it clear

Answer / chinna babu
LRV=(1m * 0.53) -(18.5 m *0.53)
URV= (14 m * 0.53)- (18.5 m *0.53)

Answer / nestor
let us consider at 100% 450meters upper side so the wet leg measures:
1850 - (450 meter + 1 meter) = 1399 meter
so height(specific gravity) = 1399 (0.53) = 741.47 meter
span = URV-LRV
LRV = 1 meter(0.53) = 0.53 meter
so URV = span+LRV = 741.47 + 0.53 = 742 meter

We have a Yokogawa Micro-XL DCS, which is having around 300 I/O, but whenever there is any wire gets grounded in field, the 24v supply to all loops gets dipped & all the indications at DCS goes to IOP(shows input open), at present we have fixed 500mA fuses in all the lines but which does not working. Does it required to replace with lower amps fuse, then how much or is there any other solution for this.

Technician A says that a fuel tank sending unit will have a high resistance only when the tank is full. Technician B says that its resistance when the tank is full depends on whether the sending unit is designed for use with a bimetallic gauge or with a magnetic gauge. Who is correct?
why we connect digital multimeter in series for dc current measurement and parallel for dc voltage measurement.
Why does a pressure gauge installed on reactor, doesn't have any vent line below to release the pressure? Is it any kind of designing mistake or it actually does not require any vent line? And if it does not require any vent line below it then how we are gonna release the pressure built inside the pressure gauge?
