The Tank Gauging People

Accurate temperature gauging pays back very quickly! Enraf introduced a line of very rigid and accurate temperature gauging devices. The Multiple Thermo sensor Thermometer The Spot temperature thermometers **) Temperature changes in liquid alter level, volume and density. These potential changes make temperature gauging very important. For example each 1 C (1.8 F) uncertainty causes a deviation of more than 0.1 %. For a storage tank holding 50,000 m3 (300,00 bbl) this results in an uncertainty of 50 m3 (300 bbl). Enraf temperature measurement is the result of almost 40 years of innovation.

The answer to complete liquid temperature information Enraf temperature measuring systems make use of proven technology and offer the highly efficient temperature parameter for total inventory control. Our Multiple Thermo Sensor Thermometer (MTT) provides: Accurate product temperature Accurate vapor temperature Temperature profiles In combination with SmartRadar and Servo level gauges, and as part of Hydrostatic gauging systems, we provide you with accurate on-line information including: Liquid levels Water/product interface level Volume Mass Alarms

All measured and calculated data and parameters are available to higher level systems (DCS, SCADA, MIS, etc.) by means of an extended number of communication protocols.

Outstanding accuracy The inventive use of thermosensors, in combination with a high class reference resistance, provides outstanding accurate measurements. Temperature measurements ensure that temperature differences can be detected to within 0.1 C (0.18 F). Weights & Measures Enraf developed its temperature gauging systems in full compliance with international standards. MTT has received full certification from Custody & Excise and official Weights & Measures authorities. It meets all international requirements for custody transfer. Unique safety features Enraf MTTs are approved and meet all international safety standards for use in hazardous areas. Among its many safety features is a unique lightning protection system to avoid damage during thunderstorms.

INDUSTRIAL TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT? Temperature measurement is particularly important for facilities that store liquids and want stock quantification either by volume or by mass. Automatic temperature gauging is safe and labor cost saving. A unique differential measuring technique The accuracy of the MTT is assured by a unique differential measuring technique. Instead of measuring the absolute temperature, Enrafs MTT measures the difference compared with a precision reference platinum RTD located near the bottom of the assembly. As a result we achieve a measuring accuracy better than 0.1 C (0.1 8 F). Each MTT incorporates 16 equally spaced temperature detectors which, combined with the multiple temperature interface and selector, provide a true average temperature. As a unique feature, determination of temperature profiles is possible! The MTT also provides the temperature of the vapor area which can be useful in case of gas storage. Sturdy nylon (Polyamide) or corrugated stainless steel protection tubes with special top and bottom fittings seal the temperature detectors completely from the atmosphere. Advanced techniques continuously monitor and/or correct for the influence of terminal and resistance changes, thermal voltages and temperature drift.

How to measure temperature? There are several systems for temperature measurement available. Spot temperature measurement Spot or single point, temperature measurement is commonly done with an RTD probe of a defined insertion length mounted from the tank wall. A spot element is, in many cases, able to do the job. The position for a single point temperature probe is very important for registering the true average product temperature in a tank. Average temperature measurement *) For the volume calculation, it is necessary to know the average temperature of the products total volume. Because most stored liquids do not have homogenous temperatures, a more sophisticated measuring system is required. For example, products loaded into the tank in different batches can have a difference in temperature. With the new Multiple Thermosensor Thermometers (MTT), Enraf supplies a robust and reliable instrument. It makes use of the most robust thermocouples available.

Mass

Level based Stock Inventory It is important to understand how the Gross Observed Volume of the product is determined in a level based tank gauging system, although temperature information is also an important parameter in Enrafs hydrostatic tank gauging systems. Starting with level, the Gross Observed Volume of the product is determined by utilizing Tank Calibration Tables which relate liquid level to liquid volume. Combining the Gross Observed Volumetric quantity with the liquid temperature measurement, a Gross Standard Volume can be calculated. The Gross Standard Volume is the volume at a reference temperature. From the Gross Standard Volume the Mass can be calculated by introducing the Reference Density. In general, Volume multiplied by density equals its mass.

Installation Mechanical A two inch entry in the tank is sufficient for the installation. The MTT can be installed either suspended in the tank secured by means of an anchor weight or in a two inch thermowell. For pressurised applications, a non-slotted thermowell is recommended. For caverns, we supply special MTTs adapted to your application. Electrical An average temperature gauging loop consists of an MTT connected to a Multi-element Interface Thermosensor converter (MIT) in most cases mounted in the MTT. The MIT is in turn connected via one twisted pair with a temperature processing board in a Enraf Servo tank gauge, a SmartRadar level gauge or a Field Display & Interface (FDI).
