The simple, accurate, reliable system to measure and control liquid level

When a tank is 100% vented to atmosphere, the Uehling Tank-O-Meter® is
operated using a two-line system. Air is introduced into line "B" which will force
the liquid being measured out of the pressure pipe. The pressure created in the pipe (the
head pressure) will then return to the Tank-O-Meter's® well through line
"A" and raise the indicating fluid column to the corresponding depth of the
liquid.
When a tank is not 100% vented to atmosphere at all times, or if the tank is
buried, the Uehling Tank-O-Meter® is operated using a three-line system. Lines
"A" and "B" have the same function as in the two-line
system. A third line "C" is added to equalize the pressure or vacuum above the
air space above the indicating fluid in the Tank-O-Meter®.
...is simple, quick and trouble-free. Pressure pipe is inserted in tank; precut, tested and
fiitted tubing is connected between tank and TANK-O-METER®; NPT compression
fittings are connected at each end, and the instrument is ready for operation. No adjusting
of floats, pins, lever arms, or re-checking or re-calibration of the scale is ever needed.
If a different kind of liquid is to be measured, or the tank capacity changes, new scales are
easily adapted to the existing gauge.
Two types of ("O") Tank-O-Meter® gauges are available for open
tanks (100% Vented to Atmosphere) containing Hot Water, Hot Plating Solutions, Acids, and
similar liquids. These applications require a continuous purge system to avoid condensation
of vapors in the air lines. A minimum of 3/8" Air Line between the
Tank-O-Meter® gauge and the tank is required. An overpressure trap and
extended well are supplied as standard equipment. Continous air purge consumption is
approximately .5 SCFH.
Gauges with Bubbling Bottles (add "OLTE" to Model No.) are used with
general plant air systems. The bubbling bottle oil serves as an indication of the purge rate
in addition to removing dirt and moisture from air entering the system. When plant air has
particularly high moisture and dirt content, a combination Air Filter/Regulator/Condensate
Trap may additionally be required upstream from the Bubbling Bottle.
Gauges with a Tel-Flo meter (add "NOTE" to Model No.) are designed
for instrument air or inert gas systems. Clean dry air, instrument air, or inert gas is used
where tank content purity must be maintained. A combination Air Filter/Regulator/Condensate
Trap may optionally be required.
Two types of ("OE") Tank-O-Meters® are available
for closed tanks containing Hydrochloric Acid, Hydrofluoric Acid, Nitric Acid, Phenol
and other corrosive fuming liquids.
In order to keep vapors contained in the tank, a continuous purge system using inert gas or air
is necessary. The purge system requires either double Bubbling Bottles or double Tel-Flo meters
to segregate the tank head pressure.
Gauges with double Bubbling Bottles consume approximately 1 SCFH (double Tel-Flo's approximately
2 SCFH), require a minimum of 3/8" air line between the Tank-O-Meter gauge and the tank
and are supplied standard with an over-pressure trap.
Gauges with double Bubbling Bottles (add "OELTE" to Model Number) are
useful with general plant air systems. In some systems, a combination Air
Filter/Regulator/Condensate Trap may additionally be required upstream of the Bubbling
Bottles when plant air has particularly high moisture and dirt content.
Gauges with double Tel-Flo meters (add "NOETE" to Model Number) are used
with clean dry instrument air or inert gas where tank content purity must be maintained.
A combination Air Filter/Regulator/Condensate Trap may be optionally required.Open to atmosphere...2-line system
