From very light hydrocarbons to water-based media, Magnetrol’s Eclipse 706 guided wave radar and Pulsar R96 non-contact radar transmitters handle a wide range of processing applications.
Radar technology has revolutionised level measurement in a variety of process industries, says the company, particularly since the introduction of 4-20mA loop powered, radar-based transmitters in the 1990s.
Both guided wave radar and non-contact radar have the same general principle of operation (microwave time of flight) and no moving parts.
As a result, users can retrofit these radar transmitters into various process applications and see improvements in efficiency and accuracy, says Magnetrol.
This can be effective in applications that use these technologies:
- DPs, due to SG shifts, installation cost, and leak points
- Buoyancy, due to SG shifts, moving parts, calibration issues, and cost
- RF Capacitance, due to cumbersome calibration, dielectric shifts, and coating issues
- Ultrasonics, due to vapor effects, turbulence, and foam
