How to choose between 80GHz radar level gauges and 26GHz radar level gauges: 1. Situations where an 80GHz radar level gauge is the preferred choice: Complex processes: The tank contains obstacles such as agitators, heating coils, and ladders. Container miniaturization: reaction kettles, small storage tanks, process containers (with a diameter of less than 1 meter). Complex dielectric properties: prone to foaming, volatilization leading to condensation, or being liquids/solids with low dielectric constants. High-precision measurement is required: for trade settlement, accurate batching, etc. Installation conditions are limited: the length of the short connector is insufficient, or it is not desired/possible to install a waveguide. Measurement of solid materials, especially particles and powders with low dielectric constants. 2. Situations where a 26GHz radar level gauge is the preferred choice: Standard large-scale storage tanks, such as reservoirs, crude oil storage tanks, and sewage tanks, which have simple internal structures. The cost budget is limited, and the operating conditions are simple, with no special challenges. It measures conventional liquids (water, oil, acids, bases, etc.) and slurries with high dielectric constants. Your existing maintenance team is very familiar with this technology, and you wish to maintain technical consistency. Overall, the 80GHz radar level gauge is becoming the preferred choice for an increasing number of applications, thanks to its excellent focusing capability and resistance to interference, especially in the process industry and under complex operating conditions. It reduces lifecycle costs through smarter installation and more stable measurements. As a mature and reliable technology, the 26GHz radar level gauge remains highly competitive due to its cost-effectiveness in a large number of standard and simple level measurement applications. When making a choice, it is necessary to take into account factors such as the complexity of the operating conditions, precision requirements, installation conditions, properties of the medium, and the project budget, in order to select the most appropriate option.
