Guided Radar Measurement: Measuring Principle

Levelflex works with high-frequency radar pulses which are emitted and guided along the probe. As the pulse meets the medium surface, part of the emitted pulse is reflected due to a change of the dc value (relative dielectric constant). The Time-of-Flight between pulse launching and receiving is measured and analyzed by the instrument and constitutes a direct measure for the distance between the process connection and the product surface.

Benefits

  • Reliable measurement: Unaffected by medium surfaces and tank obstacles or baffles
  • Additional measuring safety through End-of-Probe (EoP) evaluation
  • Safe measurement also during filling
