Calibrating a leveltrol for interface level measurement involves ensuring that the instrument accurately detects and measures the interface between two immiscible liquids in a vessel. Here's a general procedure for calibrating a leveltrol for interface level measurement:

  1. Prepare Equipment:

    • Gather the necessary equipment, including the leveltrol instrument, a reference interface level gauge (if available), and any tools required for adjustments.
    • Ensure that the vessel containing the two liquids is properly configured and ready for calibration.
  2. Establish Reference Points:

    • Identify the interface level range that needs to be measured by the leveltrol.
    • If available, use a reference interface level gauge or sight glass to establish reference points corresponding to the desired interface levels.
  3. Zero Calibration:

    • Set the leveltrol to its lowest point within the interface level range.
    • Adjust the zero point of the leveltrol to match the reference interface level at this point.
    • Depending on the type of leveltrol, this adjustment may involve adjusting a mechanical float or probe, or configuring electronic settings.
  4. Span Calibration:

    • Set the leveltrol to its highest point within the interface level range.
    • Adjust the span or sensitivity of the leveltrol to match the reference interface level at this point.
    • This adjustment ensures that the leveltrol accurately detects changes in interface level across the entire measurement range.
  5. Intermediate Calibration Points:

    • Check the accuracy of the leveltrol at intermediate points within the interface level range.
    • Adjust the leveltrol as needed to ensure that it accurately tracks changes in the interface level at these points.
  6. Verify Calibration:

    • Once adjustments are made, verify the calibration of the leveltrol by checking its performance against the reference interface level gauge or sight glass.
    • Confirm that the leveltrol accurately detects and measures the interface level between the two liquids within the specified range.
  7. Finalize Calibration:

    • Document the calibration procedure, including the reference points, adjustments made, and any observed deviations.
    • Label the leveltrol with the calibration date and any relevant information.
    • Reinstall the leveltrol in the vessel and ensure it operates correctly under normal process conditions.
  8. Regular Maintenance:

    • Schedule regular inspections and calibrations of the leveltrol to ensure continued accuracy and reliability.
    • Monitor the performance of the leveltrol over time and recalibrate as necessary to maintain accurate interface level measurement.

By following these steps, you can effectively calibrate a leveltrol for interface level measurement and ensure accurate and reliable detection of the interface between two immiscible liquids in a vessel. If you're unsure about any steps or require assistance, consider consulting the leveltrol manufacturer or a professional calibration service.
