Applications

Digital probes feature exceptional linearity, resolution, and stability, and are used in underground and aboveground storage tanks. Two types of probes are available for the following applications:

• The leak detection probes are typically used for underground storage tanks and petroleum applications when static or SCALD leak detection is required.
• The inventory control probes are typically used for aboveground storage tanks, chemical or oil waste, or underground storage tanks that do not require in-tank leak detection.

Components

• 1. Probe head
• 2. Guides
• 3. Bottom mount fitting
• 4. Probe shaft
• 5. Product float
• 6. 2” or 4” gas, diesel or phase separation water floats
• 7. Precision or standard density float
• 8. LPG float
• 9. Chemical float

• Note: All float kits sold separately.

Operation

An electromagnetic field is created inside the probe head and forms around a long waveguide within the probe shaft when position measurements are taken. The electromagnetic field interacts with the magnetic field of the float(s) and produces a shock wave in the waveguide that travels at a known speed. When the shock wave is detected at the probe head, the probe creates a signal that corresponds precisely to the product level. Product expansion calculations are enabled by temperature sensors that are located at various points in the probe shaft.
