Radar level sensor provider with Kaidi86: Radar level meter adopts non-contact measurement, and has the advantages of high measurement accuracy, not affected by process conditions, easy to install and easy to maintain, so it is widely used in offshore oil platforms in recent years. Today, we would like to take you through several actual cases in offshore oil platform to understand the reasons and solutions of the radar level meter’s measurement value jumping. The first case was an oil field where the radar level meter in the left crude tank jumped to full scale several times during production. A sealed metal cover was used to cover the main body of the sensor, and during the test, it was found by connecting the radar level transmitter that the closed metal cover would result in more false signals throughout the measurement range, and the overall noise line would rise.

KD-UZC-E type magnetic-sensitive electronic two-color level meter is made of high-quality stainless steel and imported electronic components. The display part adopts high-brightness LED two-color light-emitting tube, which forms a columnar display screen. The level of the measured liquid level is displayed through the red and green changes of the LED light column. High display brightness, long visual distance, clear ruler, large display Angle, adjustable brightness, the product is more visual, intelligent and other characteristics.
Measuring principle of radar water level meter: The radar level gauge adopts the working mode of transmitting-reflecting-receiving. The electromagnetic wave emitted by the antenna is reflected by the surface of the measured object and then received by the antenna. After measuring the distance from the water surface to the radar antenna, the elevation of the water surface can be calculated according to the elevation of the radar antenna. The radar water level meter adopts pulse wave technology with low power consumption. It can be powered by two-wire 24 VDC, 485 interface output, or can be directly powered by 12 VDC, SDI-12 interface output, with high accuracy and wider application range.
An important part of steam generation is the quality of the steam generated. Maintaining water quality in the boiler within design parameters ensures the highest quality steam possible while minimizing blowdown of the boiler, both of which improve energy and resource management. Continuous or manual blowdown of the boiler minimizes scale accumulation and corrosion resulting from impurities in the water. The blowdown provides a means of accommodating liquid and impurities from the boiler, with the latter facilitating energy recovery through the use of flash steam.
Secondly, in cement production, material level measurement encountered another difficulty is strong dust interference, especially pneumatic conveying powder silo, dust flying when feeding, low visibility, laser level meter and high energy ultrasonic level meter can not be measured, although radar level meter at this time can receive part of the surface echo. But the echo signal was also weakened. In addition, due to the uneven surface of the radar echo is refracted, will also lead to the existence of radar echo; In addition, there are some conditions from the bottom to the bin inflation, so that the material surface loose, material level measurement is more difficult.

Ground interference refers to one of the two output ends of the radar level gauge (or compensation line), and its AC voltage to the ground is called the ground interference voltage. This disturbance is also known as longitudinal, in-line mode or in-line state disturbance. Generally speaking, the interference voltage to ground can reach several volts or even more than 100 volts. The above is the interference of the radar level gauge we discussed. When we install or use the radar level gauge, we can also determine whether your use environment will cause these interferences to the level gauge according to the above situation. If these conditions exist, anti-interference measures must be taken to ensure that the level gauge can serve you better.
The installation of the liquid level gauge should be away from the inlet, outlet, eddy current or protrusions on the inner wall to avoid the interference of electromagnetic waves and affect the measurement. When installing the guided wave radar, make sure that the diameter of the short pipe at the flange connection is greater than the height of the short pipe, otherwise the cable will contact the short pipe wall due to shaking, and the liquid level cannot be measured accurately. How to choose a model, in the final analysis, you still need to understand your own working conditions and the characteristics of different instruments, and judge whether the two match, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort.Want to know about ultrasonic flow meter advantages and disadvantages, click here.
Radar level measurement extends its capabilities to solids silos by offering tracking of materials, powders and other solid substances. This application is crucial in sectors such as agriculture, food processing and cement manufacturing. Agitated Media- Certain industrial processes involve liquids that can present challenges for level measurement. Radar sensors, designed to handle surface turbulence, ensure measurements in dynamic settings. Hygienic Environments- Industries with hygiene requirements like pharmaceuticals and food processing utilize radar sensors with non-contact designs. These sensors guarantee product quality and safety by providing precise level data.
Measurement accuracy, the accuracy of ordinary radar is generally ±10mm, and the accuracy of precision radar is ±3mm. Selection according to the actual needs of production. Range, according to actual needs, choose the antenna size. Note that the actual range is reduced in complex environments. Antenna type and antenna size, the larger the antenna size, the larger the measured range and the stronger the anti-interference ability. The antenna types of radar level gauge are rod type, bell mouth type, paraboloid and so on.
