Are you looking for level measurement? After considering what our clients need, we can confidently state that the first prerequisite for any level measurement, level switching, indication, sensing, detection, or level control is to ask yourself the following two questions. Because of the nature of level measurement, I can assure you that your application will come under one of them.
Is The Question I Need Answering, ‘How Much?’
I.e., how much product is still in storage, or do I need to know how much product there is in order to ‘manage’ a process?
Is the question I need to know the answer to ‘when’? That is the first major decision made. That’s just the beginning. Let us now go through the other important factors and questions you should consider in order to select the proper level measuring device for your application.
Consider how significant the information that you want your new level control tool to measure is to you.
What if you didn’t have access to this information? What would happen if you didn’t have this information?
There is a spectrum of relevance here ranging from not too significant to a complete plant shutdown and environmental disaster, with the good to know somewhere in the center.
Handling The Information
How do you wish to be kept up to date on level measurement information?
You have various possibilities here since information regarding a certain level may be conveyed in a variety of ways. Who requires access to this level measurement – one person, everyone, or a small group?
This information may be shared with everyone in the organization if you want it to. Examine the list of jobs below to determine who need this level measurement information:
- Plant operators: to keep them safe and to allow them to verify the measurement as they go by.
- Drivers: to determine how much to dump,
- Employees of the central plant control system
- Production planners: to plan when future orders will be completed.
- Distribution and logistics: to ensure that deliveries are coordinated.
- Accounts: used for stock valuation.
- Purchasing: so they may be notified when re-ordering is required,
- Management may want level control data for strategic decision-making.
- Sales team: Stock levels must be known so that clients may make orders.
- Material suppliers/vendors: to plan raw material delivery.
The procedure and its circumstances must next be considered. Material compatibility, pressure, temperature, and process and product compatibility are all important considerations. Are there any unique level measurement requirements for your level instrumentation, such as safety or hygiene certification?
