How to install high frequency radar level meters in different shaped storage tanks

The RD90X series 26G HF radar level has a small antenna size for easy installation; non-contact radar, no wear, and tear, and no contamination. Virtually unaffected by corrosion, foam, atmospheric water vapor, temperature, and pressure changes. Severe dusty environments have little effect on the operation of HF level meters. 

Shorter wavelengths for better reflection on inclined solid surfaces. Smaller beam angles and concentrated energy enhance the return capability while helping to avoid interfering objects. 

Smaller measurement blind spot, which gives good results even for small tanks. The high signal-to-noise ratio for better performance even in fluctuating conditions. High frequency, ideal for measuring solids, and low dielectric constant media.

 

The installation should be carried out according to the site’s working requirements. The ideal installation position is at 1/4 or 1/6 of the diameter. If the tank is conical and the top of the tank is flat, it can be installed in the middle of the top of the tank, which can ensure the measurement to the bottom of the cone. 

When the measuring medium is a solid stockpile, the antenna should be aligned vertically with the material surface. If the material surface is not flat, an inclined solid surface can cause problems with echo attenuation and even loss of signal. 

Therefore, large pile angles must be adjusted using a universal flange to align the horn as closely as possible to the material surface. Care must be taken not to install the horn above the material inlet.

Installation of radar level meters in storage tanks should be in accordance with different shapes, the actual situation in the tank, in accordance with different locations, to ensure that the measurement achieves results, real and reliable data.
