What is the difference between radar level gauge and ultrasonic level gauge?

2020-04-08View Original

Thread Content

  From the name, as the name suggests, one uses ultrasonic waves, and the other uses electromagnetic waves but both measure liquid levels! This is our most intuitive difference, so what are the differences in other aspects? Application This is due to different application scenarios, due to the different principles of radar level gauges and ultrasonic level gauges. 1. The measurement range of radar wave level gauge is much larger than that of ultrasonic wave. Radar emits electromagnetic waves, which can be measured without the help of our propagation media. However, ultrasonic waves are sound waves and mechanical waves, which require propagation media for propagation. Therefore, ultrasonic waves cannot be used in vacuum, foam or steam environments. 2. The radar level gauge uses electromagnetic waves, which are affected by the dielectric constant of the material being measured, while our ultrasonic waves are mechanical waves, which are affected by the density of the medium being measured. Therefore, when dealing with substances with very low dielectric constants, the measurement effect of the radar level gauge will be affected. 3. For high-pressure process tanks, radar wave level gauges are basically used. This is because ultrasonic waves are emitted through the vibration of piezoelectric materials, so ultrasonic level gauges cannot be used in application scenarios with high pressure and negative pressure. Generally, they are only used in normal pressure vessels. For more information, please visit the company’s official website http://www.yb1518.com/.
