Working principle and main advantages of radar level transmitter

1. Working principle of radar level transmitter

Radar level transmitter is an application of microwave (radar) positioning technology in level measuring instruments. It emits energy waves (usually pulse signals) through a device that can emit energy waves. When the energy waves encounter obstacles, they reflect and are received by a receiving device. The level change can be determined by measuring the time difference of the energy wave movement process. The microwave signal is processed by an electronic device and finally converted into an electrical signal related to the level.


2.  Main advantages of radar level transmitter


A: High precision and reliability:

Radar level transmitters can provide very high measurement accuracy and maintain stable performance even in harsh working environments. And it is not affected by temperature changes, pressure fluctuations, and medium density, so it can provide reliable and accurate readings.


B: Non contact measurement:

Radar level transmitters do not require direct contact with the measured medium and are a non-contact measurement method. This not only reduces maintenance costs (as there are no moving parts that wear out), but also means it can be applied to corrosive or viscous substances without being contaminated or damaged.


C: Wide applicability:

Radar level transmitters are suitable for various application scenarios, whether it is level monitoring in storage tanks or height measurement in natural water bodies such as rivers and lakes in open environments。

Radar-based measurement systems have emerged as a game-changer in the realm of liquid monitoring, particularly in applications requiring accurate flow and level readings in open channels.
What is a Vortex Flow Meter?

Jun. 17, 2025

A vortex flow meter operates by placing a non-streamlined obstruction—called a bluff body—directly in the path of the flowing fluid. As the fluid flows past this bluff body, alternating vortices are generated on either side of it, creating oscillating pressure zones downstream. This phenomenon is known as vortex shedding.
