Sensors & Measurement
Radar level
Non-contact level measurement using radio waves.
IN ONE SENTENCE
The sensor measures the return from the material surface to calculate distance and level.
In normal English
Radar is often less affected than ultrasonic by temperature, vapour and pressure and can work well on difficult liquids and solids, depending on frequency and antenna design.
Why would I use it?
Use it where reliable non-contact level measurement is needed in demanding conditions.
THINK OF IT LIKE…
Radar looking down into the tank instead of across the sky.
