Dynamic SVG

About Horizontal Tank Level

The Horizontal Tank Level is a high-fidelity Dynamic SVG engineered for modern industrial SCADA and HMI environments. It provides a precise 2D orthographic representation of a cylindrical vessel with elliptical heads, mounted on rigid structural saddles. Designed with a focus on clarity and depth, it utilizes multi-layer linear gradients and specular highlights to simulate brushed stainless steel, ensuring a professional aesthetic for high-end control room dashboards.

Key Features

• Accurate Hydrostatic Visualization: The internal liquid level is rendered using a specialized clipping path that follows the tank's inner curvature, ensuring the volume appears correctly from the bottom keel to the top crown.
• Industrial Aesthetic: Features realistic metallic shading, longitudinal reflections, and detailed support structures with base plates for a premium look.
• Dynamic Scaling: Includes a built-in graduated scale with markers at 25% intervals for quick operator reference.
• Performance Optimized: Pure vector geometry ensures crisp rendering at any resolution without impacting HMI performance.

Customization

Engineers can fully adapt the component to their process requirements through four primary properties. The Level property accepts values from 0 to 100, driving the vertical fill animation. The LiquidColor property allows for visual distinction between different media, while the ShellColor property enables matching the vessel to specific plant standards or material types. Additionally, the ScaleVisible boolean property allows for a cleaner interface by toggling the visibility of the graduation ticks.

Use Cases

This component is ideal for monitoring horizontal storage tanks, buffer vessels, and separators in industries such as Oil & Gas, Chemical Processing, and Water Treatment.

Compatibility

Fully compatible with WinCC Unified and WinCC V8. The component is ready for immediate deployment via standard property linking to PLC tags.
