General Approach to Tuning

But we can predict the rate of change of level from the working volume of the vessel  

Combining Equations (4.42) and (4.43) enables us to predict the process gain. If F is 

To calculate tuning constants we also need the process deadtime (0). For most level controllers this will be small. Choosing a value of a few seconds will result in controller tuning that will give a performance similar to that given in Equation (4.14). 

However, whether this level control strategy should be selected requires careful consideration. The process dynamics will restrict how tightly the level can be controlled
