Float Tank Gauge LT5 3 Installation

3.2 Installation Location


Be sure to perform the following operation prior to installation of LT.

WARNING
• LT series should be installed in a place where meter can be easily read.
• The float must be installed so it is positioned near the tank sidewall.
• In a spherical tank, the float must be installed so that it is positioned in line with the center of the
tank.
• When installing LT on tanks that have a dome roof with a steep incline, the float must be installed
so it is positioned in line with the center of the tank.
• Use an appropriate gasket on flange connection to maintain airtightness.

WARNING
The float should be positioned as far from the tank inlet or stirrer as possible, so that the waves, which
caused by liquid inflow, do not directly impact the float. If there is no choice but to position the float
near an inlet or stirrer, install a wave guard to protect the float. If liquid flows into the tank abruptly,
the float line may be severed.

3.5 Guide Pipe

3.5.1 Guide Pipe Material and Installation

Most LT installations will require the use of guide pipes, excluding tank top or underground applications.
Pipe supporters are generally used in three sections (gauge head to elbow, elbow to elbow, and elbow
to tank roof). However, Endress+Hauser does not supply a pipe supporter.

These must be supplied by the customer.

Figure 7: Attachment of Guide Pipe

CAUTION
Galvanized carbon steel pipe is recommended for use as guide pipes.
When application is for extremely corrosive gas, using stainless steel or hard PVC pipe, containing a
resin inner lining is recommended.

Float Tank Gauge LT5 3 Installation

3.5.2 Guide Pipe Connection

NOTICE
• Use a PTFE sealing tape or gasket to maintain airtightness against gas or rain.
• Be sure connection between the guide pipe and the union is secure so that rain water does not enter
LT from the union connection.
• Be sure that threaded connections are properly threaded to avoid a distorted or bent connection,
and be sure that welded connections are straight with no burrs left on the inside.

3.10 Guide Wire Installation


Installation Procedure

CAUTION
• Be careful not to bend the guide wire [3]
• Two guide wires should be arranged in parallel to one other and perpendicular to the tank floor.
• Check two packings (for top anchor and tank flange) on which slip washers are used, before setting
the guide wires.
• Repairing the guide wires and anchor hooks, once the tank is full, can be very difficult. Be sure to
inspect their hardness before filling.
1. Open the cover of the top anchor located in the top of the tank.
2. Straighten the guide wire, and lower it from the center hole in the top anchor, then temporarily
attach the end of the wire to the top anchor.
3. Insert the guide wire into the guide ring [10] on the float at the bottom of the tank then, secure
the guide wire to the anchor hooks by using two bolts [2] and nuts.
4. Cut and bend the end of the guide wire to prevent it from getting caught in the float.
• Place the guide wire against the surface of inside anchor hook B and insert it through the
anchor hook hole. Wind the end of the guide wire so that the excess is within dimension A.
• Wind the wires 1 to 2 times each, on both the B and C sides. Adjust the number of times wound
as needed.

Pointer Setting and Scale Reading Procedure

NOTICE
When calibrating (pointer setting) to authorized value as calculated value or measured value, calibrat-
ing procedure will depend on which display type is used. Use the dial type display when tank height is
20m or less, and use the counter type display when tank height is 20m or more.
1. Remove the indication cover and loosen the cap nut.
• The long indicator needle (white) can be turned freely, whereas the short one (green-yellow)
can be freed by pulling it.
2. Align the short needle with inner scale (1mm/one scale), as it corresponds to lower value in liquid
level.
3. Align the long needle with the outer scale.
• As one scale notch corresponds to 100mm, the outer scale is aligned visually, according to the
lower two digits in liquid level value.
4. After aligning the needles, tighten the cap nut firmly.
• Long indicator needle (outer scale): 10000mm, 1000mm, 100mm values; Short indicator nee-
dle (inner scale): 10mm, 1mm values.
This completes the setting and reading procedure.

Counter Display Procedure
1. Remove the indicator cover.
2. Loosen the screw at the center of the scale plate.
• The scale plate can rotate freely (1 scale notch is equivalent to 1mm.).
• The counter changes one digit for every notch (100 mm) the scale plate moves.
3. Rotate the scale plate and align the numerical value of the counter to the three upper digits values
of liquid level.
4. Align the scale plate to the pointer which corresponds to the two lower digit values in liquid level,
then tighten the scale plate screw.
• If the pointer is indicating a range of between 97 and 03 on the scale plate, as in the figure
below, the counter will not change instantly. As it changes gradually, keeping constant the
relation between the rotation of the scale plate and numerical change, the counter will display
half values. Thus, in order to rule out incorrect reading, the counter window and parts of the
scale plate are correlated by color.
This completes the counter display procedure.

4.3 Indication Adjustment


Following are the three universal procedures for indicator adjustment:
• Fill the tank with actual liquid and calibrate the indicator to measured volume.
• With the tank empty, calibrate the indicator using formulaic calculations.
• Fill the tank with water and calibrate the indicator to measured volume.

4.3.1 Calibration Using Actual Measuring Liquid


In order to obtain a reliable value, measure the liquid level two or three times, using a measuring tape
which has been officially tested accurate to within ±0.3 mm/m (±1.2mm/10 m). Calibrate to the val-
ues only after accurate data has been gathered.

4.3.2 Calibration through Calculation for Empty Tank


1. When the tank is empty, calculate the liquid level Lƒ using the following formula and set indicator
to the determined value.
2. When liquid reaches to the value of Lƒ, the float gains buoyancy and LT will show proper liquid
level.

4.3.3 Calibration Water Filling Procedure


When LT installation is complete, the water filling test is generally performed. Since measuring for
level is usually more difficult with other liquids, calibrating to water is recommended. The indicator will
be calibrated one again when the tank is filled with a commodity liquid. Using the following formula,
calculate the difference between where the float gains buoyancy in both water and commodity liquid.
Then correct the indicator value with water in the tank (refer to Graphs 1 and 2) before filling it with
a commodity liquid.

    LT5-4/LT5-6

ƽ: Density of actual liquid (g/cm3)
Q : Half of float volume (cm3): 9600cm3

After setting the LT indicator to the measured value for water, determine LB in the formula
above. If the value of LB is a positive integer, add that value to the determined indicator value. If
the value of L is a negative integer, subtract that value from the determined indicator value. This
will be the final indicator value.

4.3.5 LT startup and Handling Precautions for Water and Airtight-


ness Test
If misshapes occur, such as the damage to measuring tape while inside spherical tanks (i.e. tanks for
liquefied gas), tank operation and recovery costs can be extensive. It has been our experience, that
most issues involving measuring tape failures arise during test operation or in initial operation of the
tank. To prevent such incidents, be sure to complete the following procedures. By taking these preven-
tive steps, misshapes can be avoided early on.
1. For high pressure tanks, be sure to keep the plug gate valve open and set the tank level gauge to
measurement mode. Failure to open the valve may result in measuring tape failure.
• If the valve is not open while filling tank with water, drain the water or remove the sheave
elbow cover. Then, stop the measuring tape by hands, open the valve gradually and reel the
measuring tape to LT.
2. For the water test, open the water-feed valve partially and supply water to a depth of 500 to
1000mm.
3. Large amount of water may damage the measuring tape. If the float is in close proximity to an
inlet, install the wave guard so float is unaffected.
4. If test for airtightness is performed while opening the gate valve, make sure the following com-
ponents are firmly tightened.
• Drain plug on the bottom of LT
• Rear cover bolts
• Gland of gauge head rear cover
• Sheave elbow covers
If these items are not secure, large volumes of air may discharge from the system, causing
vibrations that will damage the measuring tape.
5. When opening LT rear cover upon completion of airtightness check test, confirm that the inner
tank is either at atmospheric pressure or that the gate valve is closed before opening LT.
• Do not open LT or sheave elbow covers to abruptly discharge compress ion built up by the air-
tightness check test. This will damage the measuring tape.
6. Be sure to open the gate valve when filling tank with commodity liquids such as liquefied gas.
• Closing the gate valve must be restricted almost exclusively to the emergencies or to period of
maintaining liquid level.

5 Operation Float Tank Gauge LT5

5 Operation

5.1 Check Handle


This is used in order to check that a gauge operates properly.

CAUTION
• Checking gauge performance using the check handle, only after filling the tank with liquid.
• The check handle is not a float hoisting handle. Do not forcibly hoist the float using the check han-
dle.
• Refer to "5.2 Handling of Hoisting Handle" for details on using the hoisting handle.

Check Handle Using Procedure


1. Push the check handle, attached to the bottom of LT, inside LT.
2. Push while rotating the check handle to the right.
3. Rotate the check handle to the left when indicator is approx. 4 to 5mm over scale.
4. Check the LT indicator.
This completes the check handle using procedure.

Float Tank Gauge LT5 5 Operation

5.2 Hoist Unit (LT5-1)


The hoist handle is used to hoist up float when not in use. This helps to add life to LT when utilized for
tanks with a stirrer and/or for tanks containing corrosive liquid.

CAUTION
• Do not release grip on hoist handle, when hoisting or lowering the float. Doing so may cause float
to fall resulting in severe damage to float.
• When lowering the float, do not continue rotating handle after it reaches liquid surface.
• When handle reaches the A position, shown in Figure 50, the float is freed from the handle. Remove
the handle while float is in use.

Hoist Up Procedure
1. Secure the handle [4] to the knob [3], using the wing bolt [2].
2. Push the knob while pulling the handle [5]. Release the handle when the knob is pushed into
position B.
3. After confirming that the knob is secure in position B, rotate the handle counter clockwise for one
rotation, within 2 seconds.
4. To stop in the middle of hoisting, push the stopper [1] to the deepest possible depth and secure
the win bolt [6].
5. Put the handle back slowly and push the stopper against LT body.
• The float will not fall by releasing handle.
• Remove the handle when hoist operation is complete.
This completes the hoist procedure.

Hoist Down Procedure


1. Insert the handle into the knob and fix it as shown below, rotate it counter clockwise, and then
loosen the win bolt [6]. Secure the stopper with the win bolt after returning the stopper to original
position.
2. Rotate the handle clockwise.
• When the float reaches the liquid surface, the handle decreases suddenly and the LT indicator
will stop. Do not rotate the handle any further.
3. After completion of lowering float, pull the knob, pulling the handle [5], and release the knob
when the knob is in the condition A.
4. Remove the handle when lowering operation is complete.
This completes the lowering procedure.

5.3 Hoist Unit (LT5-4/LT5-6)


The hoist handle is used to hoist up float when not in use. This helps to add life to LT when utilized for
tanks with a stirrer and/or for tanks containing corrosive liquid.

CAUTION
• Do not release grip on hoist handle, when hoisting or lowering the float. Doing so may cause float
to fall resulting in severe damage to float. If the handle must be released when hoisting float, lock
the handle first.
• Do not tilt the handle over 90 degrees or more toward its axis. This may cause the damage to the
float, measuring tape, or conster.
• Do not continue rotating the handle after float reaches liquid surface.

Hoist Up and Down Procedure


1. Remove the lock chain [1].
2. Slowly rotate handle in smooth circles (refer to A to B in Figure 46).
• The tape drum gear and the hoist shaft gear will begin to engage at 90 degrees.
3. Rotate handle to position B, turn handle counter clockwise, and hoist or lower float.
• After hoisting float, do not leave hand. Be sure to secure it with the lock chain first (refer to C
in Figure 46).
4. Remove lock chain when lowering float.
5. Rotate handle clockwise to lower float.
• When float reaches the liquid surface, the indicator or counter will stop at current liquid level.
6. After lowering float, rotate handle 180 degrees against shaft to enable liquid to be measured.
7. While the float in service, loop lock chain 1 to 2 times around crank handle and place chain hock
on the loop nearest the screw (refer to A in Figure 46).
This completes the hoist and lowering of float procedure.

8.3 Return
1. The following procedure must be performed before returning NAR300 to Endress+Hauser e.g. for
repair or calibration.
• Remove all residue.
• Pay special attention to the gasket grooves and crevices where fluid may be present. This is
especially important if the fluid is corrosive, poisonous, carcinogenic, radioactive, or otherwise
hazardous.
• Always enclose a duly completed "Declaration of Hazardous Material and De-contamination"
form. Only then can Endress+Hauser transport, examine, and repair a returned device.
• Enclose special handling instructions if necessary, for example a safety data sheet as per EN
91/155/EEC.
2. Additionally specify:
• An exact description of the application
• The chemical and physical characteristics of the instrument
• A short description of the error that occurred (specify the error code where possible)
• Operating time of the device
A copy of the “Declaration of Contamination” is included at the end of this operating manual.

WARNING
• Hazardous materials may be attached to damaged parts of LT5 or its plastic material. Unless haz-
ardous materials are completely removed from LT5, no repair request is accepted.
• Incomplete cleaning of the instrument may result in waste disposal or cause harm to personnel
(burns, etc.). Any costs arising from this will be charged to the operator of the instrument.

8.4 Disposal
In case of disposal, separate the various components according to their materials.
