The focusing of VEGA’s radar level sensor for liquids, the 80 GHz VEGAPULS 64, allows for more flexibility in the chemical industry, the company says.
The big advantage of radar technology is its immunity to process conditions such as temperature, pressure, vacuum and density. The main limitation in the past has been the vessel size it can work on.
With the new VEGAPULS 64 using a much higher frequency, says VEGA, it means the level and volume can be measured in applications where the process and/or structural conditions were previously not suitable for radar.
The sensor now has an antenna system integrated directly into the flush process fitting. Since no antenna protrudes into the vessel, it is possible to measure right up to the process fitting itself. This means that practically all of the container volume can be measured and utilised.
