GOVI (Gross Observed Volume of the Interface)
The total volume of the tank occupied by the interface liquid. The
GOVI is only given when measuring two liquids and is calculated by
subtracting the volume of the product from the total volume of liquid
in the tank (GOVT – GOVP).
GOVP (Gross Observed Volume of the Product)
The total volume of the tank occupied by the product liquid. When
measuring only one liquid, it is also the total volume of liquid
in the tank (GOVT). When measuring two liquids it is the total
volume of liquid in the tank minus the volume of the interface liquid
(GOVT–GOVI).
GOVT (Total Gross Observed Volume)
The total volume of liquid in the tank. When measuring only one liquid
it is equal to the volume of the product (GOVP). When measuring two
liquids it is equal to the volume of the product and interface liquids
(GOVP + GOVI).

field, calculated by density at the reference temperature multiplied by
the volume correction factor (Density × VCF).

internal icing.
NPT
U.S. standard defining tapered pipe threads used to join pipes and
fittings.
NSVP (Net Standard Volume of the Product)
The temperature corrected volume for the product liquid in the tank,
requires the transmitter to be ordered with temperature measurement
capabilities. The NSVP is calculated by multiplying the volume of the
product liquid by a volume correction factor based on temperature
(GOVP × VCF).
R
Reference Temperature
The temperature at which the density measurement is given, the
allowable values are 32 °F to 150 °F (0 °C to 66 °C).

The density ratio of a liquid to the density of water at the same
conditions.
Sphere Radius
The internal radius of the sphere that contains the liquid, the value is
used to calculate the volume along with the Sphere Offset.
Sphere Offset
An offset value that accounts for additional volume in a sphere from
non-uniform sphere geometry, the value is used to calculate the
volume along with the Sphere Radius.

Volume Calculation Mode
One of two methods use to calculate volume measurements from level

A table of measurements correlating temperature points with
correction factors for the liquids expansion/contraction. The
transmitter can contain up to 50 points.

Floats
SoClean®transmitters offer numerous floats for different applications
such as stainless steel, 3-A sanitary, Nickel Alloy C-276, FEP, and
Buna-N for both product level and interface level. To be able to
accurately detect the interface level there needs to be a difference of
at least 0.05in specific gravities between the product and interface
liquids. For detailed information about floats, refer to the ‘Accessories
Catalog’ (Part#551103).
For assistance with selecting a specific float for your application,
please contact technical support with the following information:
• Specific gravity of liquid(s) being measured
• Process temperature
• Process opening size
• Vessel pressure
SoClean®transmitters should be used with a float having an offset
weight and made of stainless steel or Nickel Alloy C-276. This allows
the float to stay in contact with the pipe to prevent the buildup of
an electrostatic charge. Non-metalic floats with a projected surface
area of less than 5,000 mm² should only be used in Zone 0, Gas
group IIA such as float part numbers 201643-2, 201649-2, 201650-
2, 201109, 251115 and 251116. All other non-metallic floats offered
by Temposonics such as, 251939, 251119 and 251120 should not be
used in a hazardous area application.
Internal electronics
All transmitters come with two electronic components of a sensing
element and a board set. Rigid sensing elements are standard on
SoClean®. Flexible sensing elements are available upon request. The
board set consists of up to three electronic boards and a display.
A temperature sensing function is optional with the SoClean®
transmitter. The temperature sensing device is a Digital Thermometer
mounted inside the transmitter’s outer pipe assembly. The SoClean®
can be ordered with 1, 5, 12, or 16 temperature points.
Display
All LP-Series liquid level transmitters are shipped with a stylus (
Part # 404108) to be used for manipulating the display. For single and
dual cavity housings, the stylus is designed to allow for programming
of the unit without removing the housing. When using the stylus make
sure to align the stylus with the shape outline around the buttons in
the same orientation. Failure to correctly align the stylus can cause the
display to not function properly. Password for entering the menu is
27513. For additional details consult the protocol specific Modbus
Interface Manual (Part #551700), DDA Interface Manual (Part
#551701), and HART®Interface Manual (Part #551702).
Accessories
Temposonics also offers a series of displays, housings, converters,
and other accessories, please refer to the ‘Accessories Catalog’
(Part#551103).
5.2 Accuracy
For magnetostrictive transmitters inherent accuracy is measured
in terms of non-linearity. Non-linearity is a measurement of any
imperfections in the waveguide that are reflected in the linearity of
the transmitter’s output. Temposonics tolerances reflect a maximum
non-linearity of ±1mm. Temposonics is able to achieve such strict
tolerances by manufacturing all of its own waveguide from a
proprietary alloy and testing 100% of all transmitters before shipping.
5.3 Warranty
Important:
Contact Technical Support or Customer Service for assistance if
you suspect that the transmitter is not working correctly. Technical
support can assist you with troubleshooting, part replacement, and
Returned Material Authorization (RMA) information if required.
All Level Plus®transmitters come with a two year limited warranty
from the factory shipment date. An additional extended warranty can
be purchased. A Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number is
required and must accompany any transmitter returns. Any unit that
was used in a process must be properly cleaned in accordance with
OSHA standards, before it is returned to the factory. A Material Safety
Data Sheet (MSDS) must also accompany the transmitter that was
used in any process.
5.4 Storage
If storage is required prior to installation, store indoors in a dry
environment at ambient temperature range not to exceed −40…+71°C
(−40…+160°F).

5.5 CRN Specifications
Below are the pressure calculations of the pressure ratings for Tri-
clamps available on the SoClean®level transmitter according to Tri-
clamp size, material of construction, and CRN calculations under
ASME B31.3-2016.

6” 293 psig 20.2 bar 325 psig 22.4 bar
Do note, that there are two pressure ratings on the SoClean®level
transmitter. One pressure rating is for use in hazardous areas and the
other pressure rating is for use in pressure vessels. Depending on the
application one, both, or neither rating may be needed. If installed in
a hazardous area then the maximum pressure rating to maintain the
hazardous area rating is 1000 psi (68.9 bar). If installed in a pressure
vessel then the calculations shown above must be followed. However,
if the pressure vessel is in a hazardous area then the hazardous area
maximum still applies.
