Applications

For use in inventory management applications, the 8920 Loop Powered Transmitter (LPT) is a precision transmitter designed to relay level or level & temperature information via field communications to the control room. Changes in liquid level and tank temperature are output to a 4-20 mA signal, or via HART (pending). The 20-to-48 DC voltage required for operation may be supplied by the user or through an optional 85-to-305 VAC on-board power supply. Two or four cam-operated switches that can be utilized for indication of alarms or relays are also available as an option.

 

 

On Your Tank

The 8920 LPT is easy to install. It mounts directly to most mechanical tank gauges (Varec, GSI, L&J, Sakura).

 

 

Complete Tank Gauging System

The 8920 LPT integrates ancillary equipment, and sensors, and provides the first steps to automation and control. It provides an on‐board 3‐wire RTD temperature input. It can activate alarms, SPDT cam-operated outputs, and software-driven contact outputs.

 

 

 

Training and Support

The 8920 LPT is available to ship today. Every transmitter is supplied with detailed user instructions, but sometimes you need to see how it’s done. If you need direct support, we offer standard training and service programs that we tailor to your staff, and your facility.

NMS80 Proservo Tank Gauge

The NMS80 Proservo Tank Gauge (PTG) is an intelligent tank gauge for high accuracy liquid level measurement and is suited for both custody transfer and inventory management applications employing the latest microprocessor technology.

 

  • Overview
  • Specifications
  • Options
  • Resources
  • Related Products

Designed for Industry

The NMS80 PTG is suitable for atmospheric and high pressure applications with a maximum reliability accuracy level of up to ±0.4 mm (±0.016 in). To make sure it fits your existing tank fittings, we have a wide variety of process connections to choose from.

 

True Multi-Measurement

In addition to level measurement, the NMS80 PTG can determine the interfaces between three liquids, specific gravity of these liquids and tank bottom. This allows the instrument to provide spot density measurements, profile the liquid density throughout the tank, or profile the stratified upper layer.

 

Proactive Safety Diagnostics

In the event of an abnormal measurement condition, the NMS80 PTG outputs a maximum level value to the local display and system software, thereby causing an alarm to warn your operators.

 

Compatible Communications

Output signals include industry standard RS-485 (MODBUS), as well as popular tank gauging protocols, such as V1 and HART. You are also able to connect a spot or average temperature probe directly to the instrument.

 

 

 

Industry Approval

The NMS80 PTG has FM, ATEX and IEC Ex and NEPSI approval for use in hazardous areas. It is also NMi, OIML and PTB approved for custody transfer applications and SIL2 certified for overfill prevention.

 

Simplifying Maintenance

Small features make your operators’ lives easier and safer; intelligent diagnostics provide advance warning of required maintenance, such as replacement of worn wire. Wetted parts are completely separated from the electronic circuit and the built in calibration window allows operators to ensure the correct position of the displacer before service work is underway.

NRF81 Tankside Monitor

The NRF81 Tankside Monitor (TSM) is used in combination with Varec radar gauges for bulk storage applications at tank farms, terminals and refineries. It is designed to integrate and collect tank gauging data and provide detailed information for storage and process applications.

  • Overview
  • Specifications
  • Options
  • Resources
  • Related Products

Operational Process

4-Wire Communication Diagram for Radar GaugesThe NRF81 TSM is typically installed at the bottom of the tank for ease of access and allows access to all connected tank sensors. collects the measured values and performs several configurable tank calculations. All measured and calculated values can be displayed at the on-site display. Also, through a field communication protocol, the NRF81 TSM can transfer the values to an inventory control system like FuelsManager.

 

 

Easy to Read, Safe and Simple to Operate

Mounted within a flameproof enclosure,the NRF81 TSM has a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) with touch control that ensures safe operation even in hazardous areas.

 

 

Versatile Tank Gauging

In addition to connecting to the primary radar tank gauge, the NRF81 TSM also integrates  HART® compatible devices using intrinsically safe connections, such as temperature and pressure transmitters for hybrid and hydrostatic (mass) applications.

 

 

Accurate Results

The NRF81 TSM fulfills the exacting demands of tank inventory management, inventory control, custody transfer, loss control, total cost saving, and safe operation. For volume calculation it will accept an input from either an average temperature probe 453x ATC series of temperature devices (via twisted pair cables, HART protocol) or via spot temperature element (via 2/3/4-wire RTD signal).

 

 

Worldwide Approvals

The NRF81 TSM is approved for use in explosion hazardous areas to ATEX, FM and IECEx standards.

6600 Liquid Level Indicator

The 6600 Liquid Level Indicator (LLI) is an economical, non-powered, easy to install measurement device utilizing a float inside the tank that is connected to an indicator in a clear tube mounted outside of the tank.

Economical, Durable Design6600 LLI Close Up

The 6600 LLI is one of the simplest measurement product on the market today. A float inside the tank is connected to an indicator in a clear tube mounted outside of the tank. The indicator moves up and down based on the level of product in the tank. With its bright orange indicator, level can be determined safely from the ground and from a distance.

 

Easy-to-Read Display

The indicator displays liquid level (product image) to an accuracy of 1″ (25 mm). Designed for use on mobile tanks, the 6600 may be installed on both in-service and out-of-service tanks.

 

 

6600 LLI IllustrationOn Your Tank

Changes in the liquid level of the tank raise or lower the float, which moves the indicator cable. Cable movement drives the indicator up and down the gauge tube on the side of the tank. The liquid level in feet and inches or meters and decimeters is shown by the indicator position on the gaugeboard.

2910 Float & Tape Level Switch

The 2910 Float & Tape Level Switch (FTLS)  is a precision instrument designed to mount directly to most mechanical float and tape tank gauges to provide a switch driven indication of alarms or relays.

 

NOTE: There are no communications capabilities in the unit; it is a limit switch only unit. See the 2920 FTT if communications are needed. 

  • Overview
  • Specifications
  • Options
  • Resources
  • Related Products

Absolute Accuracy and Reliability

The 2910 FTLS is a cam-operated switch designed to mount directly to automatic tank gauges. The two, four, or six switches may be used to operate lamps, relays, motors, or solenoid valves providing the load does not exceed ½ HP at 250 volts AC. What’s more, the precision direct-drive gearing requires no service, no battery back-up and contains parts designed to last a lifetime.

 

Automation and Control

The 2910 FTLS provides the first steps to automation and control. It can activate alarms or relays using SPDT cam-operated outputs. The switches can be selected for normally closed or normally open operation. They are mechanically operated directly from the main drive gearing and can be independently configured to switch at any desired tank level. These switches can be used to maintain a safer working facility and provide basic automation and control.

2910 Float and Tape Level Switch on Tank Illustration

 

On Your Tank

The 2910 FTLS is easy to install. It mounts directly to most mechanical tank gauges (i.e. Varec, GSI, L&J, Sakura).

 

 

 

 

Rated For Safety

The 2910 FTLS is explosion proof and approved for use in hazardous-classified locations, making it particularly suitable for bulk storage applications found in the oil and gas industry.

 

Supported Worldwide

The 2910 FTLS is available to ship today. Every transmitter is supplied with detailed user instructions, but sometimes you need to see how it’s done. That’s why we also have a YouTube channel with basic how-to-videos. If you need direct support, we offer standard training and service programs that we tailor to your staff and your facility.
