Publish Time: 2025-02-18
Advanced radar level transmitters achieve accurate level measurement of corrosive liquids mainly by relying on its non-contact measurement principle, high-precision signal processing technology and special material selection.
1. Non-contact measurement principle
The radar level transmitter uses the principle of radar wave transmission and reception to achieve liquid level measurement. It transmits high-frequency radar waves to the surface of the measured liquid, and the radar waves will be reflected back when they encounter the liquid surface. By accurately measuring the time from the radar wave to the reflection back, combined with known parameters such as the propagation speed of the radar wave in the air, the height of the liquid level can be accurately calculated. This non-contact measurement method avoids direct contact with the measured liquid, greatly reduces the risk of damage to the measuring equipment, and is particularly suitable for the measurement of corrosive liquids.
2. High-precision signal processing technology
The radar level transmitter is equipped with advanced signal processing technology and algorithms, which can accurately capture the reflected signal of the radar wave and accurately process it. Even if there are interference factors such as fluctuations, foam, and steam on the surface of the liquid, it can be corrected by the algorithm to ensure the accuracy of the measurement. This high-precision signal processing technology enables the radar level transmitter to maintain stable measurement performance in complex environments.
3. Special material selection
For the measurement of corrosive liquids, radar level transmitters usually use special materials to make probes and contact surfaces. For example, anti-corrosion PTFE material is selected as the contact surface. This material has excellent corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of corrosive liquids. At the same time, the overall structure of the radar level transmitter is also designed as a fully enclosed anti-corrosion structure, which further improves its corrosion resistance.
4. Comprehensive application advantages
Wide measurement range: Radar level transmitters can measure liquid levels ranging from a few centimeters to tens of meters, and are suitable for storage tanks and containers of various sizes.
High measurement accuracy: Due to the use of advanced signal processing technology and algorithms, the measurement accuracy of radar level transmitters can usually reach the millimeter level.
Easy installation: Radar level transmitters usually use non-contact measurement, so there is no need to directly contact the measured liquid during installation, which simplifies the installation process.
Low maintenance cost: Since direct contact with the measured liquid is avoided, the maintenance cost of radar level transmitters is relatively low, reducing downtime and repair costs caused by equipment damage.
In summary, advanced radar level transmitters achieve accurate level measurement of corrosive liquids through non-contact measurement principles, high-precision signal processing technology and special material selection. This measurement method not only improves the accuracy and stability of measurement, but also reduces the maintenance cost and use risk of equipment.
