The Tank Gauging People

The answer to complete liquid temperatureinformation

Enraf temperature measuring systems make use ofproven technology and offer the highly efficienttemperature parameter for total inventory control.Our Multiple Thermo Sensor Thermometer (MTT)provides:

Accurate product temperature Accurate vapor temperature Temperature profiles

In combination with SmartRadar and Servo levelgauges, and as part of Hydrostatic gauging systems,we provide you with accurate on-line informationincluding:

Liquid levels Water/product interface level Volume Mass Alarms

All measured and calculated data and parameters areavailable to higher level systems (DCS, SCADA, MIS,etc.) by means of an extended number ofcommunication protocols.

Accurate temperature gauging pays back veryquickly!

Enraf introduced a line of very rigid and accuratetemperature gauging devices.

Temperature changes in liquid alter level, volumeand density. These potential changes maketemperature gauging very important. For exampleeach 1 C (1.8 F) uncertainty causes a deviation ofmore than 0.1 %. For a storage tank holding50,000 m3 (300,00 bbl) this results in an uncertaintyof 50 m3 (300 bbl).

Enraf temperature measurement is the result ofalmost 40 years of innovation.

Continuous development means:

INDUSTRIAL TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT?

Temperature measurement is particularly importantfor facilities that store liquids and want stockquantification either by volume or by mass.Automatic temperature gauging is safe and laborcost saving.

How to measure temperature?

There are several systems for temperaturemeasurement available.

Spot temperature measurement

Spot or single point, temperature measurement iscommonly done with an RTD probe of a definedinsertion length mounted from the tank wall. A spotelement is, in many cases, able to do the job. Theposition for a single point temperature probe is veryimportant for registering the true average producttemperature in a tank.

Average temperature measurement *)

For the volume calculation, it is necessary to knowthe average temperature of the products totalvolume.

Because most stored liquids do not havehomogenous temperatures, a more sophisticatedmeasuring system is required.

For example, products loaded into the tank indifferent batches can have a difference in

temperature.

With the new Multiple Thermosensor Thermometers(MTT), Enraf supplies a robust and reliableinstrument. It makes use of the most robustthermocouples available.

A unique differential measuring technique

The accuracy of the MTT is assured by a uniquedifferential measuring technique.Instead of measuring the absolute temperature,Enrafs MTT measures the difference compared witha precision reference platinum RTD located near thebottom of the assembly. As a result we achieve ameasuring accuracy better than 0.1 C (0.1 8 F).

Each MTT incorporates 16 equally spacedtemperature detectors which, combined with themultiple temperature interface and selector, providea true average temperature.As a unique feature, determination of temperatureprofiles is possible! The MTT also provides thetemperature of the vapor area which can be usefulin case of gas storage.

Sturdy nylon (Polyamide) or corrugated stainless steelprotection tubes with special top and bottom fittings

seal the temperature detectors completely from theatmosphere.

Advanced techniques continuously monitor and/orcorrect for the influence of terminal and resistancechanges, thermal voltages and temperature drift.

Mass

Level based Stock Inventory

It is important to understand how the GrossObserved Volume of the product is determined in alevel based tank gauging system, althoughtemperature information is also an importantparameter in Enrafs hydrostatic tank gaugingsystems.

Starting with level, the Gross Observed Volume ofthe product is determined by utilizing TankCalibration Tables which relate liquid level to liquidvolume.

Combining the Gross Observed Volumetric quantitywith the liquid temperature measurement, a GrossStandard Volume can be calculated. The GrossStandard Volume is the volume at a referencetemperature.

From the Gross Standard Volume the Mass can becalculated by introducing the Reference Density. Ingeneral, Volume multiplied by density equals itsmass.

Installation

MechanicalA two inch entry in the tank is sufficient for theinstallation. The MTT can be installed eithersuspended in the tank secured by means of an anchorweight or in a two inch thermowell.For pressurised applications, a non-slottedthermowell is recommended. For caverns, we supply

special MTTs adapted to your application.

ElectricalAn average temperature gauging loop consists of anMTT connected to a Multi-element InterfaceThermosensor converter (MIT) in most cases mountedin the MTT. The MIT is in turn connected via onetwisted pair with a temperature processing board ina Enraf Servo tank gauge, a SmartRadar level gaugeor a Field Display & Interface (FDI).

*) For installation already equipped with MultipleResistance Thermometers (MRT) we will be gladto advise for a change to MTT.
