Tuning fork level switch in oil industry

As we all know, China is one of the fastest growing countries in oil consumption today. Since 2002, China’s oil consumption has gradually gone far beyond Japan, becoming the world’s largest oil consumer in addition to the United States.

The “China Energy Development Report” issued by the China Energy Research Association mentions that looking into the current Chinese oil consumption structure, it is found that industrial consumption accounts for the largest proportion and will continue to rise in the coming period of time. During the past “12th Five-Year Plan” period, the growth rate of China’s economy has steadily increased, and China’s oil consumption continues to maintain a relatively fast growth trend. It can be seen that the demand for instruments and meters in the oil industry has also increased year by year, including tuning fork level switches, radar level gauges, ultrasonic level gauges and other related products.




The tuning fork level switch can be said to be one of the most widely used and most used measuring instruments in the petroleum industry. The advantages of its full-featured and easy operation are that other measuring instruments are difficult to replace. Tuning fork level switch is not only suitable for liquid level measurement such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, alkali liquor, industrial wastewater, syrup, liquid medicine, etc., but also especially suitable for complex measurement occasions with foam, bubbles, viscous liquids and vibration interference. Therefore, in the oil, crude oil, gasoline, lubricants and other storage tanks, the tuning fork level switch can often be seen.

The density of crude oil is 0.83g/cm3, and the Ring-11 tuning fork liquid level switch, which is independently developed and produced, can measure the lowest density of the liquid up to 0.5g/cm3, which can realize reliable measurement and liquid level control in crude oil and petroleum. Today, most common fork level switches in the market have a fork body heat resistance temperature of 80°C, but in the oil industry, most of them are heated crude oils exceeding 120°C, but when the temperature is too high, common on the market The piezoelectric ceramic in the tuning fork level switch of the tuning fork will produce a gap, which will easily cause false alarms and affect the life of the meter. The Ring-11 tuning fork level switch also passed the intrinsically safe and flameproof double explosion-proof certification (Exxia IIC T6, explosion-proof Exd IIC T6), which can be reliably used in flammable and explosive and other dangerous occasions. It is applied to PetroChina, The trusted choice of liquid level control in Sinopec.
