Radar Gauge For Level Measurement-Features

  • Compact antenna design for easy installation and maintenance; non-contact measurement ensures no wear or contamination.

  • Resistant to corrosion, bubbles, dust, and vapor; performance is stable under temperature and pressure changes.

  • High-frequency radar with short wavelength provides accurate reflection even from inclined or low-dielectric surfaces.

  • Narrow beam angle concentrates energy, enhancing echo detection and minimizing interference.

  • High signal-to-noise ratio ensures precise measurement and reliable performance for fluctuating liquid or solid levels.

  • Suitable for measuring both liquids and solids, including low-dielectric materials, over a wide range of tank sizes.

The diagram illustrates the connection method of radar level sensors between explosion-proof and non-explosion-proof zones. The FBS-2 series sensor is connected to external devices (such as a handheld device or a computer) in two different ways.

Radar Tank Level Gauge – Explosion Proof Connection

The intrinsic safety version (Exia IIc T6) features an aluminum die-cast housing with silicone rubber sealing to prevent sparks from circuit failures from escaping. It is suitable for continuous level measurement of flammable liquids under Exia IIc T6 conditions.

This instrument must be used with a safety barrier FBS-2, which serves as the power supply and ensures intrinsic safety. Key specifications of the barrier include:

  • Intrinsic safety: Exia IIC

  • Power supply voltage: 24V DC ± 5%

  • Short-circuit current: 135 mA

  • Operating current: 4–20 mA

Installation requirements:

  • All cables must be shielded; maximum length from barrier to sensor is 500 m.

  • Stray capacitance ≤ 0.1 μF/km, stray inductance ≤ 1 mH/km.

  • The instrument must be properly grounded.

  • Only approved associated devices may be used.

This design ensures reliable explosion-proof performance while maintaining precise radar tank level measurement under hazardous conditions.

Radar Level Gauges – Working Principle

1. Space Propagation Radar (Non-contact Radar)
This type of radar level gauge emits microwave pulses from an antenna mounted above the tank toward the liquid surface. The pulses are reflected back to the antenna, and the travel time is measured to calculate the level. Non-contact radar is ideal for applications where the medium is corrosive, abrasive, or has high temperature or pressure. It is not affected by vapor, foam, or dust, making it suitable for a wide range of liquids and slurries.

2. Process Propagation Radar (Guided-wave Radar)
Guided-wave radar (GWR) uses a probe—such as a rod, cable, or coaxial waveguide—immersed in the medium to guide microwave pulses along its length. The pulse travels down the probe, reflects off the medium surface, and returns to the transmitter. GWR is highly precise and suitable for interfaces, low-dielectric liquids, and applications with limited space or turbulent surfaces. It is less sensitive to tank shape, vapor, or foam than non-contact radar.

This image illustrates two types of radar liquid level sensor technologies used in spherical oil storage tanks. On the left is the Free-Space Propagation Type Level Gauge, and on the right is the Guided Wave Radar Level Gauge. Both technologies measure the oil level by sending microwave pulses and receiving echo signals. The left technology calculates the oil level using the reflected signal, while the right technology uses a guided wave probe to measure the signal reflected from the oil surface.
This image shows multiple storage tanks with explosion-proof designs, which are likely used in conjunction with radar level sensors, such as explosion-proof radar level gauges, to ensure liquid level monitoring in hazardous environments.

Application of Radar Level Measurement

Radar level gauges are high-precision, non-contact instruments ideal for continuous level measurement of a wide range of liquid media, including water, industrial wastewater, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, acidic and alkaline solutions, cement slurry, lime slurry, and various food slurries.

These instruments are widely applied across multiple industries, such as chemical processing, petroleum, water treatment, environmental protection, building materials, food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals, providing reliable, accurate, and maintenance-free level monitoring in both harsh and standard environments.

A radar level gauge is a non-contact level measurement device that uses microwave signals to continuously measure liquid or solid levels with high accuracy, even in extreme industrial conditions.

From a manufacturer’s perspective, radar level gauges are recommended because they:

  • Deliver ±1–3 mm accuracy

  • Are unaffected by temperature, pressure, vapor, or dust

  • Require minimal maintenance due to no mechanical contact

  • Support long service life (10–15 years) in harsh environments

They are a core solution for industries requiring stable, long-term level measurement.

Radar level gauges are widely used in oil, chemical, and pharmaceutical plants because they provide safe, reliable, and contamination-free measurement.

Key benefits by industry:

  • Oil & Gas: Accurate tank gauging for crude oil, fuel, and LPG under high pressure

  • Chemical: Resistant to corrosive media, solvents, and aggressive vapors

  • Pharmaceutical: Non-contact measurement meets GMP and hygiene requirements

As a manufacturer, we design radar level gauges with PTFE, stainless steel (316L) wetted parts and ATEX / IECEx certifications to meet these industry standards.

An 80 GHz radar level gauge improves accuracy by using a narrow beam angle (as low as 3°), allowing precise measurement in narrow tanks and vessels with internal structures.

Technical advantages:

  • Better signal focusing

  • Reduced false echoes

  • Stable readings in foam, vapor, and turbulence

This makes 80 GHz radar ideal for pharmaceutical reactors, chemical vessels, and high-density storage tanks.

Yes. Radar level gauges are highly suitable for energy, power, and HVAC systems where reliability and continuous operation are critical.

Typical applications include:

  • Power plants: Boiler feedwater tanks, condensate tanks

  • Energy storage: Fuel oil and cooling water systems

  • HVAC systems: Chilled water tanks, thermal storage tanks

Our radar level gauges support continuous 24/7 operation, with output options such as 4–20 mA, HART, Modbus, ensuring easy integration with DCS and BMS systems.

Radar level gauges are designed to perform reliably in high-vibration and harsh outdoor environments, making them suitable for:

  • Marine & Shipping: Ballast water tanks, fuel tanks, cargo tanks

  • Automotive Industry: Chemical storage, coolant tanks, paint process systems

  • Mining & Environmental: Slurry tanks, tailings ponds, dust-heavy silos

With IP67/IP68 protection and rugged antenna designs, our radar level gauges maintain stable signals even under shock, vibration, and dust exposure.

When selecting a radar level gauge, manufacturers recommend evaluating:

  • Process medium: Liquid, solid, slurry, or foam

  • Operating conditions: Temperature, pressure, corrosion

  • Radar frequency: 26 GHz vs 80 GHz

  • Industry certifications: ATEX, IECEx, FDA, GMP (if applicable)
