The radar level meter uses the microwave pulse measurement method, which can work properly in the industrial frequency band with low beam energy.
It can be installed in various metallic and non-metallic vessels or pipes for non-contact continuous level measurement of liquids, slurries, and granular materials.
It is suitable for applications where dust, large temperature, pressure variations, and the presence of inert gases and vapors are present. Radar level meters are harmless to humans and the environment and have the advantage of being unaffected by specific gravity, dielectric constant variations, and field calibration.
It is a good choice both for industrial needs and for the economic benefit of the customer. When we use radar level meter measurement, sometimes there will be distortion, so the reasons and solutions for this situation are?
The main reasons for the distortion during the measurement of the radar level meter are as follows
①Antenna scarring, thick and wet scarring will strongly reflect microwaves, causing the measurement value of the instrument to remain at a constant high level.
②When the material is empty, the antenna or the nearby condensate will produce interference echoes.
③The fixed components in the tank cause a strong echo when the material is empty.
So, after understanding the causes of the apparent distortion of the measured value of the radar level meter, what measures should be taken to improve these factors?
Firstly, carefully clean the antenna and the attachment near the antenna, secondly, by setting the near level meter parameter distance, the instrument will set the echoes within that range as interference echoes and not measure them. Finally, through specific parameter adjustment, set to reach the degree of measurement.
Solving the problem of distortion in the radar level meter measurement is not difficult, and can be achieved by the above simple operation, I hope this article will help you to use the radar level meter.
