Iran-Made Level Gauge Sensors Meet Needs of Refineries

“In a company active in the field of oil and gas, we reverse engineered one of the key equipment of the oil industry. The complex equations that were used in the design of this equipment required a combination of several different parameters to achieve a final result. Relying on the knowledge and expertise of our team, we managed to discover and solve these equations,” said Monireh Parsa, the managing director of the knowledge-based company.

“This equipment is a level gauge sensor that works by immersion and using a trig tube. As one of the methods of measuring the height of the fluid, unlike the buoyancy model, the submersion method is very complicated, but its low sensitivity to density and lack of influence from fluid vapors has made it one of the most widely-used methods in the oil, gas and petrochemical industries. The immersion sensor made by Shahrah Mechatronic Pars company is suitable for the market and application,” she added.

“This product has been manufactured for the first time in Iran and at present, it is used in refineries, petrochemicals and other industries,” Parsa noted.

Level gauge indicators are devices used in the measurement of the level of fluids in various industrial applications. These devices are used to determine the level of liquid in tanks, and drums, pressure vessels etc..

There are many level indicators to suit the needs of different applications. Normally, fluids are used in many forms in highly commercial industries. Without proper devices, it will be very difficult to find the quantity and level of fluid stored.

Also, in certain situations where the nature of the fluid is dangerous or the place in which the liquid is stored is of such a nature that it is manually impossible to find the level, then the level indicators are of utmost importance.

Depending on the type of application used, the type of level indicator should be selected. For example, in the process industry, tubular level indicators or magnetic level gauges are used for better visual liquid level indication. If it is for non-contact type level measurement, then radar type indicators or ultrasonic type indicators are to be used.
