    The document discusses Guided Wave Radar technology for level measurement. It can measure levels of liquids and bulk solids reliably under various process conditions. It works by transmitting radar pulses through a probe and measuring the time it takes for the pulses to reflect off the product surface. Key advantages include independence from process conditions and immunity to buildup, foam, or dust. It provides accurate measurements and simple setup and operation.

    Level  l  Guided Wave Radar

    Area of application
    The GWR sensors of the VEGAFLEX series are suitable for level m
    ­ easurement
    in liquids and bulk solids. In liquids, they can also detect the interface
    ­between two products. They measure liquids reliably, even under high
    pressure and extreme temperatures. They can be used in simple as well as
    in aggressive liquids and are suitable for applications with stringent hygiene
    requirements. The sensors can also be used to measure light and heavy bulk
    solids with absolute reliability, even in the presence of dust and noise, and
    without being affected by buildup or condensation.

    Measuring principle
    High-frequency radar pulses are coupled onto a cable (bulk solids) or rod
    (liquids) and guided along the probe. The pulse is reflected by the product
    surface. The instrument calculates the level from the running time of the radar
    pulses and the entered tank height.

    Advantages
    GWR sensors operate independently of noise, pressure or temperature
    fluctuations and are also completely unaffected by changes in density,
    foaming, steam or dust. Buildup on the probe or on the container wall does
    not affect the measurement either. This allows simple, straightforward system
    design and engineering. The menu-driven adjustment routines enable simple,
    time-saving and confident setup.
