Automatic Strapping Table Creation
The LSR-3D is an innovative system to measure the volume of tanks. The LSR-3D Laser is a laser distance measurement system. A high accuracy laser measuring device enters the tank performing an helical scan to detect a series of axial and radial values.
These polar coordinates when processed determine the capacity of the tank inspected. The absence of electrical components inside the inspected tank allows the use of the equipment in the presence of flammable liquids or vapours, hazard area.
The optical guide is inserted in the empty tank through the manhole or other available 2” hole and is adjusted to be vertical with respect to the position of tank. In this way the effect of any inclination in the calculation of the volume of the tank is taken into account.
How It Works
- An optical beam emitted from the laser range finder (1) crosses the measuring rod (2) suitably perforated and goes to reflect on the optical deflector (3), matching on the target.
- The angle encoder (5) integral with the plunger (2) allows to detect the coordinates of a programmed series of points.
- Positioning the screw starts on the lowest of the tank, through the motor (4) driven by the control unit of relief and control (6) is detected the 0 point of the measure.
- By advancing the rod and synchronizing the vertical movement of the same by means of threading or with cart lift on the linear guide support and recording all the detected values (angles, positions, distances) is possible to construct the volume of the cistern.
Benefits
- Safety. The process is unmanned as no operator enters the tank, limiting the health and safety risks.
- Cost. The solution is also extremely cost-effective versus tank replacement.
- Timing. The installation of the tank lining system can be completed in just a few days, reducing the station’s downtime significantly and minimising the impact on your business.
- Upgradability & Flexibility. The tank liner is suitable in various situations where a tank leak has occurred or a tank needs to be replaced, if a new product/ fuel is to be added, or if tank coating is impossible due to high internal corrosion.
