    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a transmitter assembly for a hazardous environment. The transmitter assembly includes a transmitter that includes a transmitting unit and a probe. The transmitting unit is configured to be positioned in a first area and includes an intrinsically safe circuit. The probe is configured to be positioned in a second area that is more hazardous and has a higher equipment protection level than the first area. The probe is electrically connected directly or indirectly to the intrinsically safe circuit. The transmitter assembly also includes a separation assembly positioned between the transmitting unit and the probe and including a hermetic seal configured to be electrically connected to the transmitting unit and the probe and a nut defining a tunnel sized to receive the hermetic seal therein. The exterior threads of the nut are complementary to threads on a partition wall positioned between the transmitting unit and the probe.

    Abstract: A network of wireless nodes which collect data from a sensor on a fluid tank and uploads the data to the cloud or Internet. The network allows for a temporary node to integrate into the network such that technicians can access the network without access to the cloud or internet. Further, local data is compared to data over a greater region in order to determine the difference between the specific location of the fluid tank and the larger region to produce predictive fluid tank parameter data. Then the fluid tank parameters are adjusted based on the predictive data so the environmental effects on the fluid tank are better managed.

    Abstract: A liquid level detector includes a casing, a float, a magnet body, and a switch mechanism. The casing includes a tube section. The float is displaced upward or downward along a gravity direction. The magnet body is held by the float. The switch mechanism is accommodated in the tube section and is switched between an on-state and an off-state. The casing includes a first casing part and a second casing part. The first casing part includes the tube section, a first locking section that is formed radially outward of the tube section, and a first guide section that is formed at a tip of the tube section in an extending direction. The second casing part includes a second locking section and a second guide section.

    Abstract: A modular gas level measuring device in a liquefied gas tank includes a plurality of modular float assemblies releasably connecting together. Each of the plurality of modular float assemblies includes a float. A sensing assembly releasably connects with the plurality of modular float assemblies and includes a biasing member subject to weights of the plurality of modular float assemblies and with an original length. The biasing member deforms from the original length thereof and has various deformed lengths with respect to displacements of the plurality of modular float assemblies.

    Abstract: The invention is a process tank containing a direct level magnetostrictive measurement system disposed directly in the tank, where the level system preferably communicates to a remote location. One embodiment of the invention embodies an internal well guide chamber, which exactly replicates the actual vessel's internal conditions (pressure and temperature), and also prevents the float from being affected by turbulence from a two phase condition, such as might occur if boiling or flashing is present inside the vessel. The process tank should have a fluid temperature different by more than 50° C. from the ambient environment, or alternatively, be a flashing tank.
