It is really easy to use this fire suppression cylinder fill weight calculator manufactured by Coltraco Ultrasonics. While keeping the ease of clients, this company is unique to cater almost all the needs for measuring and monitoring different things in world of industries. This device is basically used as a supporting device for Portalevel Range. Whenever you are taking anything non-invasively with Portalevel Max or any other product from Portalevel, Portasteele Calculator can be used for calculating agent mass and especially it is great for calculating fire suppression agent weight.

The front screen of the calculator shows two sections, upper one with text calculator, which is its prior function and the lower box, shows the text – Database. The database allows you to take readings stored, which can help in reporting or for other general use. Once you open the calculator, a screen appears which show up the main interface. One top left, you will see the agent it can calculate such as Novec 1230, CO2 or FM 200, which is being updated with the time by Coltraco to make it more diverse. On the right top, you will see the units such as imperial or metric, which is really useful for people of America who immensely calculate measurements in imperials.

On bottom in red on the same main interface page, you can see two calculating methods. One is from actual agent mass from liquid level or we can reverse it to calculate to the level where the liquid level should be in case the cylinder is crackly filled or if there has been no leak or discharge. This is useful to the engineer who wants to make sure that his liquid level is complied to what it should be. Then the last thing on this screen is height, circumference, actual liquid level, temperature, dome height and thickness.
Let us take an example of measuring a standard cylinder of 45 kilos of CO2. So the below mentioned should be the other details.

Height
The height is taken from the base of the cylinder to the shoulder. Shoulder is the part of the cylinder where it is still straight and starts curving towards upwards. The general measurement for the cylinder should be with the height of 137cm.

Circumference
It is really an influential measurements and tape is recommended to use to get it. In this case, we are taking it as 84.5cm.

Actual Liquid Level
This has to be taken from the base of the cylinder to the liquid level. Now the modern Portalevel sensors have the marking on the sides of the sensors and that’s where you should take the measurements. We consider 104cm in this case.

Temperature
Let us take the temperature in March, which we assume to be 17 degree Celsius.

Dome Height
We are taking it to be 9cm.

Thickness
In this assumption, we cannot assume thickness but we can consider the industrial thickness with ultrasonic thickness gauge to be as 7mm.

Actual Agent Mass
After giving these measurements, the actual agent mass this calculator gives us is 45.66kg. This also shows that the cylinder has not leaked so its good according to the industrial standard measurements we have taken.
