Abstract

See full text

A calibration system for a level meter comprising a tank having a sidewall and a bottom defining a tank interior, and a stilling well coupled to said tank, said stilling well having a sidewall, proximal and distal ends and a stilling well interior, and the distal end in fluid communication with the tank interior near the tank bottom, said proximal end of said stilling well being sealingly coupled to said level meter, said stilling well having a calibration fluid path allowing fluids to flow out of said stilling well interior; said stilling well having a vent opening that is sealingly closable near said proximal end; and a source of pressurized gas connectable to said stilling well interior, said stilling well having a measurement configuration where said vent opening is opened allowing said proximal end to vent gases in said stilling well interior, and a calibration configuration, where said pressurized air source is connected to said stilling well and flowing into said stilling well interior, where said pressurized gas may exit said stilling well interior only at said calibration flow path.
