Experiments:
Study of Level measurement using backpressure.
Demonstrate the implicative use of pressure gauge as level measurement(indirect measurement technique).Reliable and Precise Level MeasurementThis apparatus utilizes the well-established air purge (hydrostatic pressure) method, enabling highly accurate and repeatable liquid level measurements for water and various non-corrosive liquids. With a measuring range up to 300 mm and a resolution of 1 mm, it is built to meet rigorous laboratory standards and delivers quick, consistent readings every time.
Robust and Safe ConstructionDesigned for safety and longevity, the device incorporates a shatterproof borosilicate glass tube, powder-coated mild steel frame, and an over-pressure relief system. The transparent tube and easy-to-read graduated scale make monitoring straightforward, while the included tube holder and pressure regulator contribute to both safety and ease of use in laboratory environments.
User-Friendly Operation and VersatilityThe apparatus features manual, analog control for simple operation without the need for complex digital setups. The integral needle valve ensures fine air flow adjustments, and the system comes with flexible tubing, a connection for air pump or compressor, and an instruction manual. The apparatus is suitable for a wide range of educational and engineering testing applications.
FAQs of MEASUREMENT OF LEVEL BY AIR PURGE METHOD APPARATUS:
Q: How does the air purge method measure liquid levels in this apparatus?
A: The air purge method works by introducing a controlled air flow through a tube immersed in the liquid. As air is purged, the pressure required to force bubbles out reflects the depth of immersion, allowing accurate level measurement based on hydrostatic principles.
Q: What types of liquids can be measured with this apparatus?
A: This equipment is designed for water and various non-corrosive liquids. It is not suitable for corrosive or volatile substances to ensure safety and maintain equipment integrity.
Q: When should field recalibration be performed?
A: While the apparatus is factory calibrated for accuracy, field recalibration is advisable before critical tests, after transport, or following maintenance, to maintain optimal performance and measurement precision.
Q: Where is this equipment typically used?
A: This level measurement apparatus is primarily used in engineering laboratories, research institutions, and technical education centers for instructional and testing purposes.
Q: What is the process for operating the apparatus?
A: To use, connect the flexible tubing to your air pump or compressor, adjust the pressure regulator for fine air flow, immerse the tube in the liquid, and read the liquid level on the graduated scale as the system responds instantaneously to air purging.
Q: What are the benefits of using this benchtop level measurement equipment?
A: Key benefits include simple manual operation, high measurement accuracy (1 mm), a corrosion-resistant measuring tube, over-pressure safety features, and clear visibility of results, making it ideal for educational and laboratory environments.
