Propane storage in bullets and spheres
LevelPressure

Overview
Propane is compressed and held as a liquid in bullet and spherical pressure vessels so it does not return to gas. Its low dielectric constant weakens the signal that level instruments depend on. VEGAPULS 6X measures level through that weak reflection while VEGABAR 83 tracks process pressure in the vessel, covering both variables that define safe storage.
