Premium Radar level sensor provider: 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.

Product features: Large display range, wide range of use, suitable for low temperature, medium temperature, high pressure occasions. It can be matched with remote transmitter output 4-20MADC standard signal to realize remote display of liquid level guage. It can also be matched with liquid level switch to realize liquid level control. Generally speaking, the material level feedback is inaccurate and untimely, which is very prone to explosion events, and there is a greater safety risk. Therefore, the requirements for the radar level meter are very high, but the radar level meter often has abnormal material level jumps or falls, or even crashes, resulting in large errors in material level measurement, which brings trouble to production and sales.
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.
Any appreciable gain in boiler feedwater achieved through the process reduces the amount of energy (fuel) required at the boiler— in fact, every 10.8°F (6°C) rise in boiler feedwater amounts to a one percent savings in fuel cost. Inadequate level controls can inhibit the deaeration process (level too high) or reduce/shutdown feedwater flow to the boiler (level too low). The former affects hardware longevity and efficiency, while the latter risks production losses and possible damage to pumps.
In the process of cement production, material level detection and material level alarm control play an important role from mining and crushing to storage and packing of finished cement. But because of the complex working conditions of cement plant, radar level meter has no small difficulty in measuring. Today, I would like to talk with you about specific difficulties and solutions. First cement plant material for measurement in the dust under the condition of particularly large, especially some pneumatic feed bin, involves the kinds of materials, material particle size is differ, dielectric constant is different also, such as broken limestone, raw meal, clinker, fly ash, coal, cement, the level of the bunker, it is very difficult to accurately measure Especially fly ash bin with low dielectric constant.

In the measurement circuit of the radar level gauge, when there is additional DC current and voltage, it is DC interference. In severe cases, the measuring instrument will not work properly. The sources of DC interference are as follows: AC interference can be divided into line-to-line interference and ground interference. Inter-line interference refers to the AC voltage between the output ends of the radar level gauge (compensation line) under external influence. This interference is also known as lateral, common mode or common mode interference. Generally speaking, the line-to-line interference voltage can reach several millivolts or even tens of millivolts.
Under many operating conditions, ultrasonic level meter and radar level meter are commonly used. Some users are very entangled in the choice of these two level meter and do not know how to choose. Today, let’s talk about the principles and selection principles of these two types of level meter . Principle and selection principle of ultrasonic level meter. Working principle: The ultrasonic pulse probe emits a beam of ultrasonic pulses to the measured medium, and the sound wave is reflected by the liquid surface. The distance between the liquid levels is measured by measuring the time difference between the emission and reflection of the sound waves. Since the ultrasonic level gauge is not a liquid, it can be used to measure corrosive, non-volatile and non-foaming places.
Radar level measurement represents a shift in the field of instrumentation. This state-of-the-art technology utilizes radar waves to determine levels of liquids or solids, in vessels. Unlike methods that require contact radar operates non invasively by emitting microwaves and carefully analyzing the reflected signals. The key radar level measurement principle here is time of flight measurement- accurately measuring the time it takes for a radar pulse to travel from a transmitter, bounce off the surface of the material and return to a receiver. This temporal data is then converted into an accurate level reading.
If the radar level meter is unreasonably selected, the interference echo cannot be handled well, and the reliability of the instrument will be reduced. Therefore, the following factors should be considered when selecting a radar level meter: Conductivity and dielectric constant of the measured medium. The measured medium is a conductive liquid or a liquid with a dielectric constant above 4. Generally, a common radar is selected. Liquids with small dielectric constants (dielectric constants below 2) and some conductive solids often use precision radars or guided wave radars due to the large amount of interference echoes.
