PVC powder level measurement
Thread Content
I would like to ask everyone: is it possible to use a radar level gauge to measure the level of PVC powder? Is there any application for this? Is it accurate?
There should be no problem; you can try using your existing radar level gauge. You haven’t provided information about the structure of the storage tank, nor whether there is a lot of dust in the powder. It’s best to use an 80G radar or a guided-wave radar.

If only high and low level alarms are required, it is recommended to use radio frequency admittance or fork-type level switches, which yield better results. To accurately display the material level, it is recommended to use a weighing silo for greater precision.
For now, this radar has been chosen for testing; updates on its actual performance will be provided later
