MultiLevel Instruction Manual Description of the Level Gauging System The filling height of each compartment is assigned a filling volume via a compartment-specific gauge table, whereby intermediate values within the table are interpolated linearly (see figure xxx). The delivery quantity corresponds to the difference between the fill volume before and after the delivery.
Page 26
MultiLevel Instruction Manual Description of the Level Gauging System Figure 6: Typical inclination correction curves The calibration limit of the absolute inclination correction values is determined by the accuracy of the angle sensor. If the correction values become too large in relation to the size of the compartment, the error due to the angle sensor exceeds the calibration limits and the compartment can no longer be calibrated.
Due to the inclination correction in particular, certain geometry requirements arise that must be adhered to. If necessary, TechnipFMC will be pleased to assist you in the planning phase. • It is essential to comply with the accuracy requirement when installing the level sensors.
