How is D.P transmitter applied to a close tank & open tank with
dry leg or wet leg?
Span = ( X ) ( GL )
HW at minimum level = ( Z ) ( GS ) + ( Y ) ( GL )
HW at maximum leve l = ( Z ) ( GS ) + ( X + Y ) ( GL )

Where :
GL = Specific gravity of tank liquid.
GS = Specific gravity of seal liquid.
HW = Equivalent head of water.
X, Y & Z are shown in fig (1.1)

Example :
Open tank with X = 300 inches
Y = 50 inches
Z = 10 inches
GL = 0.8

HW at minimum level = ( 10 ) ( 0.9 ) + ( 50 ) ( 0.8 ) = 49 inches
HW at maximum level = (10 ) ( 0.9 ) + ( 50 + 300 ) ( 0.8 ) = 289 inches
Calibrated range = 49 to 289 inches head of water

Close tank with wet leg:


Span = ( X ) ( GL )
HW at minimum level = ( Y ) ( GL ) – ( d )( GS )
HW at maximum level = ( X + Y ) ( GL ) – ( d ) ( GS )
Where : GL = Specific gravity of tank liquid
GS = Specific gravity of tank liquid
HW = Equivalent head of water
X, Y and Z are shown in fig.
