35 psig to 150 psig supply pressure at control inlet. (Minimum supply pressure should be at least 20 psig greater than anticipated maximum liquid head pressure.)

Pressure above 300% nominal range (overrange) will result in damage to the transmitter (200% may cause a shift in calibration). Burst pressure is 200 psi and will cause catastrophic and physical failure of the pressure element.

Indication is then provided directly as the total weight or volume of liquid in the tank.

Unit incorporates differential air flow regulator with flow control orifice. Fixed differential set to nominal 10 psid. Output is 1:1 pneumatic pressure (hydrostatic force equivalent). Includes an integral differential pressure (D/P) transmitter converting pneumatic pressure into 4 mAdc to 20 mAdc electronic output.

A precision pneumatic control valve which will instantly close bubble-tight when subjected to a pre-set pressure. It is used to prevent over pressuring an indicator.

When purged with compressed air, liquid within the downpipe is displaced by air pressure equal to the hydrostatic force of liquid in the tank. If carefully regulated at a low rate of flow, air pressure will constantly maintain equilibrium against the force of the liquid. Air escapes out through the bottom of the pipe unless needed to increase pressure as liquid force (depth) increases.

The primary sensor element is typically 3/4 in. diameter pipe purchased from a local source. Always select piping material for compatibility with the tank contents. Downpipe purge systems can be used to measure virtually any type of liquid product including resins, asphalt or corrosive materials. Output is proportional to liquid depth and can be transmitted as an electronic 4-20 mA signal or pneumatically as a direct 1:1 pressure signal.

LiquiSeal™ D/P purge control is a fully integrated air purge regulator and level transmitter. Operation is based on the control regulating a continuous 1 cfh (cubic foot per hour) flow of compressed air into the tank downpipe. An internal differential pressure sensor element converts resulting pressure into a 4-20 mAdc two wire signal.

An all-pneumatic version of the LiquiSeal™ purge control is available. It provides a 1:1 pressure signal to a compatible indicator or external transducer through 1/4 in. airline tubing.

All LiquiSeal™ purge controls feature an internal isolation diaphragm. Backpressure created by the continuous purging of the downpipe is applied to this internal diaphragm. Working as a pneumatic transmitter, an equivalent pressure is generated on the gauge side of the diaphragm. This process effectively isolates downstream components from contact with the liquid or vapor releases.

Purge Control or LiquiSeal™ Control provides air pressure signal to an external transmitter or compatible indicator (with integral transducer). Typically, 1/4" poly or soft copper tubing is used to convey the pressure signal up to 1000 feet from the tank.

Control regulates compressed air flow to pipe extending down toward tank bottom. Depth of liquid causes air pressure to increase or decrease proportionally. A differential pressure (D/P) transmitter provides a 4-20 mA signal that can be used for remote indication or process control functions.

The downpipe sensor and pneumatic components are fully compatible with explosion hazard environments. This makes pneumatic the sensible alternative for hazardous areas without the cost and complications of intrinsic safety barriers or explosion-proof products. Assumes only pneumatic components are situated in explosion hazard zone.

The KING-GAGE® D/P Transmitter is also offered in a hybrid version combined with an air flow control for pneumatic sensors or downpipe (bubbler) systems. These combination units allow for direct 4-20 mA signal from the tank using the integrated differential pressure transmitter.

D/P Sensor Controls are designed for use with KING-GAGE® pneumatic diaphragm sensors. The air control portion of these units creates a 1:1 pneumatic pressure directly proportional to liquid depth in the tank. Acting as a force balance, the pneumatic pressure offsets the hydrostatic pressure exerted against a diaphragm at the tank. The electronic transmitter then converts this pressure into a 4-20 mA output signal.

D/P LiquiSeal™ Controls and D/P Purge Controls are used in conjunction with a downpipe (or bubble tube) extending down through the liquid contents of the tank. This type of sensor also acts as a force balance. A continuous purge of compressed air into the pipe displaces the liquid and creates a pneumatic pressure equivalent to hydrostatic head pressure. The transmitter converts this pressure into a 4-20 mA output signal.

Purge Controls

• Continuous level measurement
• Reliable, proven sensing technique
• Simple to install and maintain

A downpipe is the simplest type of liquid level sensor, often referred to as a “bubbler." This is merely a length of open ended pipe that extends downward into the tank. LiquiSeal™ or Purge Control differential pressure air flow regulators are highly refined versions of the basic bubbler air control.

D/P Sensor Control

• Piezoresistive element for less frequent recalibration
• 4 mA to 20 mA two wire output for monitoring or control
• Better than ±0.02% span repeatability

Liquid level gauging demands a high degree of accuracy and repeatability. This is especially true for quality control in batch processing operations. That is why KING-GAGE® D/P Transmitters are specifically designed to provide optimal performance in tank gauging applications. They utilize a precision piezoresistive sensor element that provides longer term stability. Guaranteed accuracy is within ± 0.2% F.S. and repeatable to within ± 0.02% of calibrated span.

All KING-GAGE®, a NOSHOK Company products are guaranteed to be free from defects in material and workmanship for one (1) year from the date of purchase.
