  • Publication number: 20080134776
    Abstract: A pressure and liquid level sensing system for a tank container or tank vehicle comprising a vessel for containing a liquid substance, such as Liquified Natural Gas (LNG), etc. The pressure and liquid level sensing system comprises a pressure sensor for measuring a gas pressure inside the vessel and a liquid level sensor for measuring a liquid level inside the vessel, the pressure sensor and the liquid level sensor comprises a first and a second pressure sensitive elements and a first and a second printed circuit boards respectively. A circuit on the first printed circuit board converts a pressure signal into an electric signal, a circuit on the second printed circuit board converts pressure signals of a gas-phase space and a liquid-phase space into electric signals of 4-20 mA or 0-10V standard. In this way, the pressure and the liquid level can be accurately measured.
