Working principle and main advantages of radar level transmitter

1. Working principle of radar level transmitter

Radar level transmitter is an application of microwave (radar) positioning technology in level measuring instruments. It emits energy waves (usually pulse signals) through a device that can emit energy waves. When the energy waves encounter obstacles, they reflect and are received by a receiving device. The level change can be determined by measuring the time difference of the energy wave movement process. The microwave signal is processed by an electronic device and finally converted into an electrical signal related to the level.


2.  Main advantages of radar level transmitter


A: High precision and reliability:

Radar level transmitters can provide very high measurement accuracy and maintain stable performance even in harsh working environments. And it is not affected by temperature changes, pressure fluctuations, and medium density, so it can provide reliable and accurate readings.


B: Non contact measurement:

Radar level transmitters do not require direct contact with the measured medium and are a non-contact measurement method. This not only reduces maintenance costs (as there are no moving parts that wear out), but also means it can be applied to corrosive or viscous substances without being contaminated or damaged.


C: Wide applicability:

Radar level transmitters are suitable for various application scenarios, whether it is level monitoring in storage tanks or height measurement in natural water bodies such as rivers and lakes in open environments。

Difference Between Ultrasonic and Electromagnetic Flow Meters

Jan. 21, 2025

The biggest difference between ultrasonic and electromagnetic flow meters is that ultrasonic flow meters do not require a conductive liquid to work. They also measure gases but fare less well with liquids that contain many solids or bubbles. Ultrasonic meters are able to withstand high temperatures and high pressure.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Electromagnetic Flowmeter

Jan. 21, 2025

It cannot be used to detect vapor, steam and vapor containing a large amount of vapor. It can not be used to detect vapor materials with very low electrical conductivity, electromagnetic flowmeter can not detect petroleum products or organic solvents, etc.
Factors Affecting the Performance of Ultrasonic Flowmeters

Jan. 21, 2025

They have limitations in the fluids they can accurately measure. Heavily contaminated fluids and slurry flows can result in the ultrasonic waves being unable to pass though the fluid, rendering the meter incapable of accurately measuring the flow.
How Does an Ultrasonic Flow Meter Work?

Jan. 07, 2025

They use ultrasonic pulses to measure the depth and velocity of the water to be able to calculate the flow rate (flow). These systems are very easy to install due to simpler installation and can save money based on the time it takes to install the flume or weir.
