Mechanical Engineering Project: Level Measurement and Sensor Analysis

This project comprehensively analyzes level measurement techniques, exploring various sensor types like floats, tape, magnetic, ultrasonic, and capacitance level transmitters. It delves into the benefits of different level measurement systems, including Siemens level measurement and the implementation of HART protocol using PLC. The project examines the application of conductivity level measures in discrete level tanks, factors influencing level measurement such as operating principles, environmental factors, and measurement range, and compares different level measurement techniques like sight glass and radar level measurement. Furthermore, it discusses direct and indirect measurement methods, providing a detailed silo diagram analysis, including volume calculations and material usage estimations. The project covers essential components of a silo and analyzes the function of level transmitters and the importance of calibration. It also discusses the advantages of ultrasonic level measurement and the significance of temperature sensors, offering a holistic understanding of level measurement in mechanical engineering.
