Small process fittings extend the area of application for radar
Previous radar sensors required process fittings with a minimum size of 1½" to achieve adequate signal focusing. For that reason it was virtually impossible to use radar
sensors on very small containers with their typically small mounting sockets. The process fittings on existing equipment that are actually of a sufficient size, are often already occupied by filling pipes or other sensors, modification here is virtually impossible in practice.
The solution
VEGAPULS 64 operates with a transmission frequency of 80 GHz. This corresponds to a factor of 3 compared to the technologies used until now. For that reason, the antenna system and the process fitting can have correspondingly smaller dimensions. That makes radar measurement technology more interesting for a much wider range of applications. Existing vessels with small process fittings can be equipped with radar sensors without first carrying out costly modifications.
The benefits
- Easy retrofitting of existing facilities, without modification
- Threaded, flange and hygienic fittings for widely different areas of industry
- The advantages of radar technology can now
VEGAPULS 64 expands the application range of radar sensors considerably – from very large storage tanks in the petrochemical industry to small filling systems in the pharmaceutical industry.
Although very small process fittings are possible with the new radar sensors, it is still recommended that the largest possible sensor connections and antenna should be used wherever possible. This increases the signal strength and the focusing – and therefore the reliability of the measurement.
