Quality flow instrumentation factory: Radar level meter adopts non-contact measurement, and has the advantages of high measurement accuracy, not affected by process conditions, easy to install and easy to maintain, so it is widely used in offshore oil platforms in recent years. Today, we would like to take you through several actual cases in offshore oil platform to understand the reasons and solutions of the radar level meter’s measurement value jumping. The first case was an oil field where the radar level meter in the left crude tank jumped to full scale several times during production. A sealed metal cover was used to cover the main body of the sensor, and during the test, it was found by connecting the radar level transmitter that the closed metal cover would result in more false signals throughout the measurement range, and the overall noise line would rise.

The key components are made of high-quality materials, which have strong corrosion resistance and can adapt to highly corrosive environments. Low power consumption, can use solar power to supply power, no need to build water level wells, adapt to various geographical environments, no impact on water flow, and more convenient installation and maintenance. The parameter setting is convenient, and the false echo from the liquid surface to the antenna can be automatically identified by the software carried by itself to eliminate the interference.

For more accurate measurement in deaerators, magnetrol guided wave radar (GWR) is a preferred option. Since its performance and accuracy are not contingent on the specific gravity and/or inference, it can provide reliable measurements in all situations, including the difficult and turbulent process conditions of deaerators and feedwater heaters. In addition, GWR does not require external inputs or calibration to achieve specified performance. This effectively eliminates the introduction of errors during the calibration process or from external sources, i.e., pressure and temperature. With this high level of accuracy, operators can trust that their deaerators will be well controlled.

Remote Accessibility – Industrial processes often span across intricate and complex facilities. IIoT radar sensors grant operators and engineers the ability to access data remotely eliminating the need for physical proximity to the sensor. This functionality simplifies troubleshooting, reduces response times to irregularities and minimizes periods of inactivity. Predictive Maintenance – One of the advantages of IIoT-enabled radar sensors is their capability to anticipate maintenance requirements. By analyzing data patterns these sensors can forecast when maintenance or calibration will be necessary, allowing for intervention before problems escalate. This predictive maintenance feature significantly improves equipment reliability and lifespan.

We are constantly developing and innovating, our core vision – “to provide solutions that exceed customers’ expectations. In 2012, the company successfully expanded its operations both locally and internationally, achieving global success and recognition for quality fork type level switch, magnetic level gauge products and services. See additional details at kaidi86.com. Our Radar Level Meter has a range of up to 150 meters, frequency up to 120GHz and an accuracy of ±1mm, which can cope with various complex measurement conditions.

Mechanical interference, the so-called mechanical interference, means that some components inside the radar level sensor will also vibrate due to the large-scale vibration or impact of the external machine, and even undergo displacement and deformation, which may also cause the pointer of the instrument head to loosen and cause measurement. error. In this case, we usually use spacers, shock springs, etc. to cushion the shock.

Power supply and output signal, the power supply has 220 V A C, 24 VDC, and the two-wire or four-wire system can be selected according to the needs. Output signal 4 ~ 20 mA DC or digital signal, select the appropriate model according to the needs. The above are all factors that need to be considered when selecting a radar level transmitter. The essence of the details is a serious attitude and a scientific spirit. I hope that every user can choose a suitable radar level meter.

Secondly, in cement production, material level measurement encountered another difficulty is strong dust interference, especially pneumatic conveying powder silo, dust flying when feeding, low visibility, laser level meter and high energy ultrasonic level meter can not be measured, although radar level meter at this time can receive part of the surface echo. But the echo signal was also weakened. In addition, due to the uneven surface of the radar echo is refracted, will also lead to the existence of radar echo; In addition, there are some conditions from the bottom to the bin inflation, so that the material surface loose, material level measurement is more difficult.

Working principle: Working principle of radar level gauge: UHF electromagnetic waves are transmitted to the liquid level of the container under test through the cable or antenna. When the electromagnetic wave touches the liquid level and is reflected back, the instrument detects the time difference between the initial wave and the echo, thereby calculating the liquid level height. Select guided wave radar or airborne radar according to the dielectric constant and measurement length of the measured medium.

Product features: Large display range, wide range of use, suitable for low temperature, medium temperature, high pressure occasions. It can be matched with remote transmitter output 4-20MADC standard signal to realize remote display of liquid level guage. It can also be matched with liquid level switch to realize liquid level control. Generally speaking, the material level feedback is inaccurate and untimely, which is very prone to explosion events, and there is a greater safety risk. Therefore, the requirements for the radar level meter are very high, but the radar level meter often has abnormal material level jumps or falls, or even crashes, resulting in large errors in material level measurement, which brings trouble to production and sales.
