Function and system design

Measuring principle

NMS8x is an intelligent tank gauge for measuring liquid levels with high precision. The system is based on the principle of gauging displacement.
A small displacer is accurately positioned in a liquid medium using a stepping motor. The displacer is then suspended on a measuring wire which is wound onto a finely grooved wire drum. NMS8x counts the rotations of the wire drum and to calculate the traveling distance of the wire and obtain the liquid level change.
The drum is driven via coupling magnets that are completely separated by the drum housing. Outer magnets are connected to the wire drum, with inner magnets connected to the drive motor. As the inner magnets turn, their magnetic attraction causes the outer magnets to turn, as well, causing the entire drum assembly to turn. The weight of the displacer on the wire creates torque on the outer magnets generating change of magnetic flux. These changes generated in the drum assembly are detected by a unique electromagnetic transducer on the inner magnets. The transducer transmits the weigh signal to a CPU using a non contact principle (patented). The drive motor is actuated to keep the weigh signal constant at set value defined by the operating command.
When the displacer is lowered and touches a liquid, the weight of the displacer is reduced by liquid buoyancy force, which is measured by a temperature-compensated magnetic transducer. As a result, the torque in the magnetic coupling changes, and this is measured by six hall sensors. A signal indicating the weight of the displacer is sent to the motor control circuit. As the liquid levels rise and fall, the displacer position is adjusted by the drive motor. The rotation of the wire drum is continuously evaluated to determine the level value using a magnetic rotary encoder. In addition to gauging the level, NMS8x can measure the interfaces between up to three liquid phases, and the tank bottom, as well as spot and profile densities.

following density measurements are supported: single-point (spot measurements), as well as profile measurements of all liquid(s) in a tank.
The choice of the most suitable displacer depends on the liquid conditions and measurement functions. These can be classified as follows:
• Single measurement value only, e.g. level, interface, or density
• Multiple measurement application, e.g. level, interface, and density

Product level
In general, larger diameter displacers have better accuracy under similar conditions.
Interface level(s)
Cylindrical-shaped displacers, with rounded top and bottom, reduce resistance while moving through liquid(s). This provides smoother movement and faster interface measurements compared to flat­faced displacers, particularly in density profile measurements that span the full tank height.
In order to move a displacer down through liquids, the displacer density (weight divided by volume) must be higher than the liquid density.
Tank bottom and datum plate level
Endress+Hauser 13
70 mm (2.76 in) and 50 mm (1.97 in) displacers reduce resistance while moving through liquids. This provides smoother movement and faster interface measurements.
Proservo NMS80
Density
Since the density is the calculated result of two measurements, a displacer with higher volume will usually yield the most accurate density measurement. In most cases we recommend our 50 mm (1.97 in) diameter displacer for density measurement.
For non-viscous applications (e.g. white oil, LPG/LNG), the 70 mm (2.76 in) displacer also works very well.
Level and density
When an application calls for equal emphasis on measuring both level and density, the 50 mm (1.97 in) and the 70 mm (2.76 in) diameter displacers will give the best all-around performance.
Custody transfer
The 50 mm (1.97 in) displacer or larger is the choice for requirements per NMi.
The 110 mm (4.33 in), conical 316L displacer is the choice for requirements per PTB.
Material compatibility
Displacers are available in three different standard materials. Material compatibility should be confirmed to ensure safe operation and optimal NMS8x performance.
316L
Stainless steel is a highly versatile industrial material that provides good compatibility with a wide range of chemicals, including most white and black oils.
Alloy C
This high-performance material is harder than 316L, and provides excellent resistance to many of the harshest corrosive chemical applications.
PTFE
One of the most well-known and versatile polymer materials, this high-performance material has one of the lowest friction coefficients. It provides excellent performance in viscous/sticky liquids, and also has excellent chemical resistance to a wide range of corrosives.
Process connection size
The process connection defines the tank process entry, and may affect the displacer size. The standard NMS8x process connections start at 3”/DN80 and fit most tank gauging applications. Accordingly, most applications can be covered with one of the 50mm or 70mm displacer options. Smaller diameter displacers are available when the process connection is smaller.
When the 110 mm (4.33 in) diameter custody transfer approval (PTB) displacer is selected, a separate calibration and maintenance chamber is recommended between the NMS8x and tank process connection.

Measuring system

• From single tank level measurement to the largest oil refinery applications, Endress+Hauser tank gauging devices are an integral part of tank farm management solutions. A wide variety of data output protocols are available for seamless integration into many commonly used systems.
• A primary example is Tankvision from Endress+Hauser. Tankvision is a scalable system offering local tank management for multiple loops via Modbus or V1 protocols. Accumulated data is available to DCS and other plant management systems via a Host Link.

Level measurement Measured variable

Proservo is primarily a highly accurate level measurement gauging instrument, with the added ability to measure interfaces and densities. The following level measurements are supported: liquid surface level and interface level(s) between different liquids, as well as finding tank bottom or datum plate. The following density measurements are supported: single-point (called “spot” measurements), as well as profile measurements of all liquid(s) in a tank.
Measuring range
• Level and interface: Max.36 m (118 ft)(longer range is possible as special product)
• Density: 0.430 to 2.000 g/cm The level and interface measuring range depends on the measuring wire and material compatibility
to measured medium. Measuring wires are available in three different standard materials. Material compatibility should be confirmed to ensure safe operation and optimal measuring performance.
