A metering tank is typically a storage tank with metering and storage functions. Generally, it doesn’t have heat – exchange capabilities, but can be designed with functions like heat exchange, agitation, and mixing as required. There are multiple metering methods for metering tanks, such as liquid level metering, weighing metering, and flow metering. Each metering method has various implementation ways. For example, liquid level metering can be done via glass tube liquid level display metering, hydrostatic level gauge metering, differential pressure level gauge metering, etc. For weighing metering, some use electronic scales, while others adopt weighing modules. It is recommended to use different metering methods for different materials. Custom – made non – standard metering tanks are welcome.
Most metering tanks are single – layer vertical ones, used to supply quantitative raw materials for batching. The most common type is a single – layer vertical tank with standard elliptical heads at the top and bottom. A level gauge is installed on the tank, or a weighing module is attached to the support feet/ears. This kind of metering tank can realize manual operation, automatic operation, and the switch between manual and automatic modes. Fully automatic metering is convenient and accurate, allowing for timely and quantitative preparation of sufficient raw materials, with material shortage alarm prompts and automatic valve closing when the quantity is sufficient. The metering tank has a simple structural form but powerful functions. A multi – functional metering tank not only has a metering function but also agitation and heat – exchange functions, enabling fully automatic processes like agitation, liquid preparation, and metering. The metering tank is made of stainless steel S30408 or S31603. Nozzles on the tank are configured with inlet/outlet ports, cleaning ports, metering ports, etc., as needed. Depending on the industry of use, different polishing treatments can be applied to the tank body, such as acid pickling passivation, wire drawing treatment, and precision polishing.
