Radar Level Meter Range, Antenna Hanging Material And Steam Influence

When purchasing radar level meter, common problems include radar level meter range, antenna hanging material and steam influence. We will discuss the selection of radar level meter from these aspects.

Range of radar level meter

Many users think that as long as the radar level meter range exceeds the tank height, it can be used. But the actual situation is not the case. Different working conditions will affect the measurement effect. For example, a calm liquid surface may fully utilize the 20-meter range, while a rippled or stirred liquid surface may reduce the effective measurement range. Therefore, the specific working conditions should be considered when selecting the radar range, and the seller should be consulted for appropriate suggestions when necessary.

Foam

Slight foam usually does not affect the radar level meter, but a large amount of heavy foam may absorb and scatter radar waves, affecting the echo quality. In this case, you can consider using a guided wave radar level meter and consult relevant customer service.

Hanging material

In the working conditions of viscous media or steam, hanging material is easy to appear on the radar level meter antenna. Common solutions include high-pressure wind purge or adding a dust cover. At room temperature, using a plastic film cover and cleaning it regularly can also effectively reduce the problem of material hanging.

Steam

While steam itself does not usually affect the radar level gauge, in some cases, condensation can cause loss of wave. If this problem occurs, you can consider using an antenna with a purge radar function.

There are many types of radar level gauges, and understanding this information can help users choose the right equipment.
