Is benzene suitable for measuring with radar level gauges?
Thread Content
According to the available data, the dielectric constant of benzene at 20°C is 2.3; is this not suitable for radar-based level measurement?
Yes, it’s fine as long as the dielectric constant is greater than 1.7
It is possible to choose a single-flange design if the requirements are not high
There’s no problem at all; feel free to choose it. If you have any further questions, you can consult @Qiu Gege Baqi
The manufacturers all say it’s possible, but in practice there is a huge difference in quality among different factories. When it is necessary to inspect the bottom of the tank, radar cannot be relied on either, as echoes become problematic at very low liquid levels. It is best to use it in light oil.
Hazardous media generally use dual-level gauges. . We also use guided-wave radar and magnetic flip plates for our benzene handling
But in actual use, what was mentioned on the 6th floor is also quite common; this afternoon, an older worker in our workshop said that it would be better to use a float level gauge after all. . . .
Use double flanges or a float ball.
Which type of level gauge provides the best measurement results depends on the shape of the tank as well as the installation location of the level gauge.
If you’re worried, guided wave radar is the perfect choice; for radar systems, the installation conditions need to be fairly good in order to ensure optimal signal quality.
It’s suitable, no problem; the radar performance is good
