Tank gauging is essential for the assessment of tank contents, tank inventory control and tank farm management. Portfolio of high-end radar & servo tank gauges help in accurate level gauging for refineries, tank terminals and petrochemical industries. Servo Tank Gauges are suitable for custody transfer as well as inventory control and are designed to be used in SIL-2/SIL-3 loops to prevent spillage.
The current servo level gauging technology includes the Advanced Tank Gauge (ATG) and the Xmitting Tank Gauge (XTG). The ATG and XTG series microprocessor-controlled servo gauges are compact and need only a 2″ mounting flange. The servo level gauges can easily be integrated with existing SmartRadar, hydrostatic or hybrid gauging installations.
How Does It Work?
Advanced Tank Gauge (ATG)
Designed for measuring all kinds of liquids in any type of storage tank, the series 854 ATG Servo Gauge is a reliable, versatile and accurate automatic tank gauge with minimal moving parts. The multi-functional instrument is modularly constructed. The option slot for additional features allows the connection of temperature measuring elements for spot and average product temperature, as well as product temperature profiles.
Xmitting Tank Gauge (XTG)
The 854 XTG Servo Gauge is a superior alternative to mechanical float and tape gauges or other low-cost level measuring devices. The standard field-proven two-wire correction of tank deformation, roof movement, drum deviation, wire weight and displacer fieldbus is utilized for connection to remote indicators, tank inventory systems and host systems.
What Problems Does It Solve?
The Servo 854 is equipped with a Servo Auto Test feature which increases its safety, integrity and diagnostic coverage; enabling the servo level gauge to be used in overfill protection loops to prevent spillage. The increased diagnostics detect failures inside the level gauge or in the application and report this to higher level systems for further action. Additionally, the safety proof-test interval can be extended to 5 years, significantly bringing down operational costs.
