Installation and Calibration of Level Transmitter

This article covers the basic steps and brief guidelines for the installation and calibration of level transmitters used in the industries.

Guidelines for Installation of Level Transmitter

1. Install The Transmitter With Proper Support.

2. Use Proper Cable.

3. Keep Corrosive & Hot Process Material away From the Transmitter.

4. Keep Impulse Piping As Short As Possible.

5. Keep Minimum Joints, Bends In Impulse Piping.

6. Keep Liquid Head as always liquid filled up.

7. Avoid Sediment Deposits In The Impulse Piping.

8. Avoid Ambient Temperature Gradient and Fluctuations.

9. Check For Any Leaks in The System.

10. Provide Insulation If Necessary.

Guidelines for Calibration of Level Transmitter

1. Isolate The Transmitter Properly.

2. Drain-All The Legs and Transmitter Properly.

3. Use Valid Calibration / Test Equipment.

4. Check For Any Leakages in The System.

5. Fallow Calibration Procedure Given In Manual.

6. Check The Transmitter Output Repeatability Properly.

7. Please Update The Calibration Records.

8. Please Fill Up The History Card.

9. Take The Transmitter In Line With The Help OF Manifold & Block Valves (for DP Transmitter).

10. Properly Plug All The Drains of Impulse piping.
