Interface Displacer Level Transmitter Calibration Procedure

The document outlines an 8-step procedure for calibrating an interface displacer level transmitter. It involves calculating equivalence water levels for zero and high points using specific gravity ratios. The transmitter is then set up and filled with water to the calculated levels while settings are adjusted using a communicator to output 4mA at zero and 20mA at high. Examples are provided for single fluid and interface applications.

Interface Displacer Level Transmitter Calibration Procedure

 1. Calculate the equivalence water level

 Calculate zero level using this equation:

 (Lighter Process Fluid Operating SG / Water SG)*Transmitter Level Range

 Calculate the high level using this equation:


 (Heavier Process Fluid Operating SG / Water SG)*Transmitter Level Range

 2. Set up the Displacer Level Transmitter to column or temporary support as shown in the
calibration setup file below.

 3. Fill the level transmitter chamber with water up to the calculated equivalence zero level
above.

 4. By using handheld HART communicator set this level as zero level (see also in the LCD
display of the transmitter, it should show zero level).

 5. Read the mA output of the transmitter by using a multimeter. Adjust (if any) through the
HART communicator so that the output of the transmitter (on multimeter) is 4 mA.

 6. Fill the level transmitter chamber with water up to the calculated equivalence high level
above.

 7. By using handheld HART communicator set this level as high level (see also in the LCD
display of the transmitter, it should show high level).

 8. Read the mA output of the transmitter by using a multimeter. Adjust (if any) through the
HART communicator so that the output of the transmitter (on multimeter) is 20 mA.

 Example of equivalence water level calculation:

 Level Transmitter Level Range = 38 inch

 Water SG = 1

 Process Fluid SG = 0.84

 Equivalence high level using water = (0.84/1)*38 = 31.92 inch

 It means the displacer should show 20 mA while we fill the chamber up to 31.92 inch with water
fluid as test fluid.

 Example of Interface Application

 Level Transmitter Level Range = 38 inch

 Water SG = 1

 Lighter Process Fluid SG = 0.695

 Heavier Process Fluid SG = 0.994


 Equivalence zero level using water = (0.695/1)*38 = 26.41 inch

 It means the displacer should show 4 mA while we fill the chamber up to 26.41 inch with water
fluid as test fluid.

 Equivalence high level using water = (0.994/1)*38 = 37.772 inch

 It means the displacer should show 20 mA while we fill the chamber up to 37.772 inch with
water fluid as test fluid.
