  • Tank gaging system
    Patent number: 4627281
    Abstract: A high-accuracy system for gaging liquid height in storage tanks. A pair of standpipes are arranged to be pumped to several accurately predetermined liquid levels to enable zero and sensitivity calibration of a differential-pressure transducer which normally monitors the pressure head of a column of liquid in the tank. The entire system is filled with tank liquid (eliminating condensation and vapor bubble problems encountered if the transducer is vented to atmosphere), and sharp-edged standpipes provided to minimize meniscus error when one or both standpipes are completely full.
