b. Diaphragm box
c. Float and cable
d. Head type with differential pressure transmitter
Answer: c
2. A chain-suspended diaphragm box and pressure instrument are used to measure

liquid level in a tank which is 10 feet in diameter and 15 feet deep. The tank contains a
liquid that has a specific gravity of 0.9 at ambient temperature. The span of the pressure
instrument required is approximate

3. A pressurized tank contains a líquid, SG = 1.0, and the level measuring pressure taps
are 100 inches apart. A pneumatic differential pressure transmitter is used to measure
om
level. The leg that connects the top of the tank to the transmitter is filled with tank líquid.
