Overview

T5 series consoles with magnetostrictive probes (TSP-LL2) serial # 6XXXXX can have the Density Measurement Option

enabled. This feature measures and reports the density of product in a tank using the same probe by adding an additional

oat (called ‘density oat’) that will be located around and below the product oat (close to the surface of the product). The

Density Measurement Option can be useful to help a site determine the quality of the product deliveries that they receive

and whether or not they’ve been altered in any way.

Density is calculated based on the distance between the product oat and the density oat. Due to high accuracy require-

ments, the product oat and the density oat will be calibrated as a pair when they are shipped from the factory and must

not be separated in the eld. If either oat is damaged, both will have to be replaced at the same time. Each pair of oats will

be provided with a calibration constant that needs to be programmed into the ATG in addition to the probe gradient.

The oat set will also include a water oat, which does not affect density measurement and may or may not be installed.

All oat sets will include one of each of the following: • 3" product oat

• 4" density oat

• 4" water oat

The density oat part numbers are:

Density Measurement Option* Installation Guide T5 Series Important: The density float is very fragile. Do not to damage the float’s coating; it provides electrical characteristics to avoid static discharge and prevent product absorption (which will cause incorrect readings). Overview T5 series consoles with magnetostrictive probes (TSP-LL2) serial # 6XXXXX can have the Density Measurement Option enabled.

Installation The selection and the installation of the probe is exactly the same as in cases of regular level measurement. The only difference is in the number and sequence of the floats. To install floats: 1. Remove the E-ring and washer from the bottom of the probe shaft. 2. Install the 3" product float on the shaft. 3. Slide the 4" density float on to the probe shaft with the cylindrical cavity facing the product float and the metal ballast facing the tip of the probe. 4.

Setup Setup can be performed using either a local user interface (LCD on the console) or a web interface (remotely connecting with Tank Sentinel Anyware). In both of these cases, the sequence is the same. Refer to Chapter 6 - Level Probe Installation in the Automatic Tank Gauge/Leak Detection System Installation Guide (p/n 000-1050) for complete probe setup information. 1. Under FMS > Tanks > Tank N > Probe select Float Type as Gas Density or Diesel Density. See Figure 2. 2.

Web Interface Display Density is calculated each time product volume is calculated. Density is displayed in kg/m3 or g/cm3.

Reports The Inventory Report will display a column with density metrics.

Field Calibration Procedure Over time a float’s weight can change due to sediment deposits, which can lead to systematically inaccurate readings. These inaccuracies can be minimized with the help of periodic system calibration. Calibration can be conducted using comparison readings from the ATG and comparing it to the density obtained using a reference densitometer. In order to do this, it is necessary to take a product sample from the level near the density float.
