Drilling Mud Density Measurement Solutions

Posted on 21/11/11, under Application News, Applications, Density, Level Measurement, Offshore Oil & Gas, pressure · RSS · No Comments

VEGA have, for a number of years, been supplying solutions for measuring the density of drilling mud for the offshore industry. There are many solutions on offer using a range of highly robust, yet accurate pressure sensors to measure density through differential in hydrostatic pressure. This is acheived with their VEGABAR abd VEGAWELL series of hydrostatic level sensors, which utilise a highly abrasion and shock resistant ceramic measuring cell. Other options include combining a hydrostaic based level sensor with a time of flight based device to derive density as well as a level measurement unaffected by density change. VEGA do some really useful guidance notes on density measurments, how they can be made and calculations needed to make them with single or dual sensor systems, depending on your application. If you would like a lunch and learn session on this topic let us know!

Replace your float switch with a safer alternative

IMG00206 20110321 0814 rev 300x224 Replace your float switch with a safer alternative

This is a typical mobrey float switch and flange

Float switches are installed on various critical applications and there is always a concern regarding whether they will operate when needed. The possibility they may become stuck through corrosion or build up is a real one, and testing them in situ to prove they will operate when required, is difficult without raising the product or process level, which has its own hazards. A vibrating tuning fork liquid level switch provides a fail-safe design, and a reliable alternative to float switches.  This is due to the way they operate they generate a fault condition should process build-up on the switch or there is a fault or failure of any kind.

The VEGASWING tuning fork  has SIL 2 capabability and has one of  the best PFDav reliability figures in the market for level switches,  thus ensuring maximum reliability. Many sites have a significant installed base of old ‘Mobrey’ style float switches with the ‘A’ type flange fixing in these critical high level applications.  

To make the upgrade of these devices as straight-forward as possible, the VEGASWING can be ordered with a ‘Mobrey A’ flange fitting as standard This will provide a direct replacement for this float switch, with a smaller element that is unnafected by changing density, pressure and temerature. VEGASWING also doesn’t require any set-up ur tuning to the product level.  The VEGASWING fitted with an A type flange as a direct fitting to replace a mobrey level switch, it can also be supplied with a replacement chamber.  For more information, email us for a brochure all about VEGASWING products and applications.

Bypass Level Indicator systems for safety

Posted on 12/07/11, under Application News · RSS · No Comments

VEGA have added new designs and variants to their range of bypass level indicators which combine guided radar and magnetic level indicators into the same assembly. These system come ready assembled, commissioned and tested, fully documented, enabling the user to bolt the systems  up, test and go. Minimising the need for downtime and working in hazardous areas. A magnetic level indicatorin a bypass tube is a very traditional idea, offering the user a local, mechanical level indication requiring no power supply. The guided radar VEGAFLEX offers a system with no moving parts which measures directly the liquid level, unaffected by density change and has no float to potentially clog or sink. The two systems combined offer safety through diversity and use an externally mounted bypass arrangement, for both local and remote level indication.
