Application Data*
Liquid Level: Closed Tank
Determine the minimum and
maximum pressure differentials to
be measured (Figure 18).

Where:
Minimum level at 4 mA
Maximum level at 20 mA
a = distance between bottom
tap and minimum level
b = distance between bottom
tap and maximum level
d = distance between taps
