Radar level measurement
Our product finder helps you to search for suitable measuring devices, software or system components via product characteristics. Applicator leads you through an individual product selection via application parameters.
Radar level measurement is a safe solution even under extreme process conditions (pressure, temperature) and vapors. Micropilot can also be used in hygienic applications for non-contact level measurement. Micropilot versions are available for different industries like for water/wastewater, the food industry, life sciences or the process industry. Various antenna versions for every kind of radar applications are available.
Measuring Principle Radar with Time-of-Flight
Radar measurement: Measuring Principle
Micropilot works with high-frequency radar pulses which are emitted by an antenna and reflected from the medium surface due to a change of the dc value (relative dielectric constant). The Time-of-Flight of the reflected radar pulse is directly proportional to the distance traveled. If the tank geometry is known, the level can be calculated from this variable.
Benefits
Non-contact, maintenance-free measurement
Unaffected by medium properties like density and conductivity, in bulk solids also unaffected by filling noise and dust
Freely adjustable measuring range
For high temperatures up to +450°C/+842°F
