Measuring Tank

Overview

A measuring tank is generally a storage tank integrated with metering functions. While it typically does not have a heat exchange function, features such as heat exchange, stirring, and mixing can be designed as per specific requirements. Measuring tanks adopt various metering methods, including liquid level measurement, weighing measurement, and flow measurement. Each method comprises multiple implementations, for instance:
  • Liquid level measurement includes glass tube level display metering, hydrostatic level gauge metering, differential pressure level gauge, etc.
  • Weighing measurement utilizes either electronic scales or weighing modules.
It is recommended to apply different metering methods for various materials. Non-standard customization is welcome

Structural Features

Most measuring tanks are single-layer vertical types, designed to provide quantitative raw materials for batching. The most common type features a single-layer vertical structure with standard elliptical heads at both top and bottom. A liquid level gauge is installed on the tank, or weighing modules are equipped on its feet/ears. This type of measuring tank can operate in manual mode, automatic mode, or switch between the two.

 

Full automatic metering ensures convenience and accuracy, with functions including timed and quantitative material preparation, low material alarm, and automatic valve closure when the material reaches the required amount. Despite its simple structure, the measuring tank offers powerful functionality.

 

Multifunctional measuring tanks not only have metering capabilities but also integrate stirring and heat exchange functions, enabling fully automatic processes such as stirring, liquid preparation, and metering.

 

Measuring tanks are made of stainless steel S30408 or S31603. Nozzles on the tank can be configured as needed, including inlet/outlet ports, cleaning ports, and metering ports. Depending on the industry of use, the tank body can undergo different polishing treatments such as pickling passivation, wire drawing, and fine polishing.
