As a level gauge specifically designed for measuring liquid levels, it is also a common type of field instrument in our factory. It is primarily used to measure the level of liquid media in containers, which is why it is also very popular in the market. In actual operating conditions, we can also see a variety of level gauges, such as fork-vibration type, magnetic floating type, pressure type, ultrasonic type, sonar wave type, magnetic flap type, radar type, and so on. Since a level gauge is used to measure the liquid level in a container, it is somewhat difficult to install, and there are specific requirements for its installation. Today, the technical editor from Shaanxi HuiBo Electromechanical will explain to you what requirements need to be met during the installation of guided-wave radar and capacitive level gauges The installation of guided-wave radar and capacitive level gauges shall meet the following requirements: 1. The level gauge should be installed at the top of the storage tank, to avoid contact with any moving parts inside the equipment; when the medium inside the equipment fluctuates violently, a perforated protective tube should be used to secure the guided-wave rod (probe). 2. When installing the level gauge on the external connection pipe of the equipment, the following requirements shall be met: a) The length of the wave-guiding rod (probe) shall include the upper and lower measurement dead zones, and its end shall be at least 50 mm below the center of the lower connection port of the connection pipe; b) For wave-guiding radar level gauges using a dual-rod probe, the diameter of the connection pipe shall be no less than 80 mm; for those using a single-rod probe, the diameter shall be no less than 50 mm. 3. When using a cable-probe guided-wave radar level gauge to measure high liquid levels, the cable probe should be straightened and fixed at the bottom of the equipment; in situations where the liquid surface fluctuates severely, a perforated protective tube should be used for fixation. 4. When the temperature of the medium being measured is high, it is advisable to install the transmitter separately. 5. The installation of guided-wave radar and capacitive level gauges shall also comply with the requirements of the manufacturer. The above content covers what we are going to discuss: \"What requirements must be met when installing guided-wave radar and capacitive level gauges.\" We hope that after reading this, everyone will be able to gain a basic understanding of the installation of guided-wave radar and capacitive level gauges.
