Radar level measurement Sulfuric Acid with a strong vapor
Application Problem:
Metal tank consists of Sulfuric Acid with a strong vapor. Mounting hole is only 10” away from tank’s wall, and there is a standpipe of 3 inch ID and 6 inch long.
Some radar units were used before. Those units had fixed transmit power and due to that there were a lot of unwanted echoes from tank wall and when the tank was empty, from its bottom. The stand pipe also influenced the antenna radiation causing a false reading.
ABM300-050RC2 radar solves all the problems. The radar uses minimum power and short transmit pulse to get a constant level of the received echoes from the Acid. This eliminates echoes from tank’s wall and bottom. Antenna extension gets rid of the standpipe influence on the antenna radiation.
Our confidence in radar level measurement is back.
