The issue of inaccurate readings from pulse radar level gauges

2017-12-02View Original

Thread Content

The level indicated by the pulse radar level gauge from Shanghai Fanyi does not match the actual level of material. We are dealing with solid materials, and there is dust as well as high humidity inside the storage tank; yet when the tank is empty, the gauge still shows the maximum level. Any technicians who have used this type of level gauge could please explain this phenomenon

The Party can’t teach him anything, the People’s Liberation Army can’t bring him under control, the police are afraid of him, and neither common dogs, wolf dogs nor Tibetan mastiffs dare to confront him – they all avoid him~~~ The power of a role model is infinite. What should you do? Can you figure it out? {:3_51:}

If the operating conditions are not optimal, the dielectric constant is low, and there are contaminants inside the tank, it is advisable to use guided-wave radar

Neither this type of range radar nor ultrasonic sensors are suitable options; let’s talk to the person on the second floor – he might have suitable products there.

If the radar in this operating condition is not purged, it will still find it difficult to operate stably

It’s likely that moisture is causing condensation on the radar

The first step in dealing with radar: check the probe, and then... there’s no second step. If it works, great; if not, it can drive you crazy!

Given the operating conditions you mentioned, radar is definitely out of the question

Consider the interference echoes at the upper part of the tank, especially at the tank opening

Well, it’s exactly what I want... c78n
