Which is more user-friendly, guided-wave radar or pulse radar?

Guided wave radar is generally used to measure liquid levels in liquids that are not stirred. Anti-corrosion measures are necessary in cases where corrosion is a concern. It is typically used in applications where the height of the liquid is within 10 meters. As long as crystallization of the medium does not result in large-scale mass reflections, there is no major problem; it is suitable only for situations with mild crystallization. Guided wave radar is often used in storage tanks with small capacity ranges. As for contactless radar level gauges, they are generally used more in large storage tanks, especially in solid material silos. If there are agitator blades or heating pipes that could cause interference, it is necessary to avoid using such gauges. They are also not very suitable for applications involving volatile crystals, such as sulfur. The advantages of these gauges are their wide range of applications, easy installation, and adjustable measurement range. However, their accuracy is lower compared to guided wave radar, their blind zones are larger, and their resistance to interference is inferior to that of guided wave radar, which is a contact-type sensor. Additionally, it should be noted that most of the domestic contactless radars and guided-wave radars available on the market use pulse-type electromagnetic waves, while imported ones utilize continuously frequency-modulated electromagnetic waves.

Hello! Do you work with radar level gauges? I’d like to contact you by phone to ask some questions. Is that possible?

Answer 1: There is stirring, and the reflecting surface is unstable; radar definitely won’t work, as the measurement values will fluctuate wildly. Answer 2: There is crystalline residue, and the phase separation on the waveguide wire is unclear; as a result, the radar gives incorrect readings, leading to frequent maintenance needs. ----Divider line------------------------------- There is mixing as well as crystallization and sedimentation; for example, in the pump rooms for desulfurization lime slurry tanks, or in the slurry tanks used for natural gas drilling fracturing. It is common to use submersible level gauges and submersible density meters with sensor diaphragms that are not in contact with the liquid. The pipes inside the tanks, both at the top and bottom, are usually steel or plastic pipes with an inner diameter of around 50 mm; the probe is inserted along these pipes and hung there, so as not to end up at the bottom of the tank where it could get covered by mud. That’s it. With this method, the measurement values remain stable; the continuous operation time without failures is extremely long. It requires almost no maintenance, and even when maintenance is needed, it’s very simple – just inspect the probe visually, and the task can be completed in 3 to 10 minutes.
