Radar

Continuous level measurement is a very important process variable either for control, inventory or safety applications is vital information needed for your plant operation.

There are two main types of products to measure level liquids or bulks, with many different characteristics, water base, hydrocarbons, chemicals, powders, granulates, with foam presence, turbulence surface or dusty atmosphere so the selection of the correct level measurement instrument need the assistance of an expert to get the best result for your process.


Radar

Measurement Principle

These transmitters work with two technologies time of flight (TOF) and pulse and frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW). High frequency radar emit pulses by an antenna that are reflected off the surface of the product. The time elapsed between the emission of the pulses and their return reception is the magnitude proportional to the level of the product. FMCW: Works with a continuous electromagnetic wave modulated in frequency that is emitted from an antenna and is reflected on the surface of the product. The frequency change "Δf" is measured and time and distance are calculated.
