Can the 3302 measure emulsion layers?
Emulsion layers are in general hard to predict and there are three main types of layers: • DC of top layer and emulsion layer is similar (difference in dielectric constant < 10). In this case the interface level as reported by the transmitter will be the bottom of the emulsion layer. • DC of bottom layer and emulsion layer is similar (difference in dielectric constant between top layer and emulsion layer > 10). In this case the interface level as reported by the transmitter will be the top of the emulsion layer. • There is a linear transition in DC from the bottom to the top of the emulsion layer. In this case it is hard to predict where the reported interface level is. If the linear transition is over a long distance there is a risk that no interface echo is reflected back to the transmitter since the reflecting pulse is created when there is a distinct change in DC. If a linear oil water interface is very thin (<10 cm) the transmitter would probably give a good signal from the interf
