Figure 1 - Graph of Transducer Accuracy vs. Tank Depth
The pressure transducer you select must have sufficient range to measure the full height of the
liquid column of a full tank. The table in Figure 2 below shows the maximum depth that can be
sensed by each pressure transducer type. This table assumes that water level is being
measured. The maximum depth of diesel fuel can that can be measured varies from these
figures slightly depending on the density of the diesel fuel.
Transducer Maximum tank depth
PT-0-3PSI-01 (0-3 PSI) 83.04” (2.11m)
PT-0-5PSI-01 (0-5 PSI) 138.4” (3.52m)
