June 28, 2014: What to Consider in choosing Remote Tank Monitoring

Tanks have different storage applications, and come in all shapes and sizes, and that in its self can cause issues when trying to monitor the substances in the tank. When you take into account the complexity of the type of material in the tank, the size, capacity, orientation and location of the tank, one begins to understand the need for well thought out solutions.

When considering remote tank monitoring, here are some of the variables that should be taken into consideration when planning:

· What is the shape and orientation of the tank? Angle?
· How tall is the tank and how much can it hold?
· What substance is being measured?
· Where is the tank located? Is it mobile and do you need to track it?
· What temperatures will the location experience and what temperatures will the substance be
exposed to?
· Does the substance expand or change properties with temperature?
· Does the location already have Internet access, or are cellular or satellite better choices?
· How accurate of measurement do I need and how critical is it that it be correct, i.e. what is the acceptable margin of error for the readings?
