Tank Level Gauge Radar

Honeywell s enraf portfolio of high end radar and servo tank gauges help in accurate level gauging for refineries tank terminals and petrochemical industries.

Tank level gauge radar.

Radar level measurement was originally developed for use on crude oil carriers because there was a requirement to be able to measure the quantity of oil by non invasive means. Tank gauging is essential for the assessment of tank contents tank inventory control and tank farm management. The level of the liquid or solid is measured by radar signals transmitted from the antenna at the tank top. Temperature pressure and gas vapors have minimal affect on radar beams.

The tank gauges are suitable for custody transfer as well as inventory control and are designed to be used in sil 3 loops. Radar tank gauging is currently one of the most popular level measurement methods used in the fuel gasoline storage industry. The motherwell tank gauging radar gauge is designed to give the best results for your specific tank. As the signal is varying in frequency the echo has a slightly different frequency compared to the signal transmitted at that moment.

The motherwell tank gauging 8900d digital tank radar level gauge is a high accuracy radar gauge designed for use in custody transfer tank gauging applications and exceeds the requirements of uk weights and measures standards for tank gauges. The 10ghz frequency modulated continuous wave fmcw radar provides accurate and reliable tank level gauging on oil product and chemical tankers. The motherwell tank gauging 8900d digital tank radar level transmitter is a high accuracy radar transmitter designed for use in custody transfer tank gauging applications and exceeds the requirements of uk weights and measures standards for tank gauges. The dielectric constant of the liquid being measured is a critical factor when considering a radar tank gauging solution.

After the radar signal is reflected by the liquid surface the echo is picked up by the antenna. Radar gauge measurement is independent of the process conditions inside the tank. Additionally the gauge is self calibrating to compensate for the effects of temperature fluctuations and aging and maintain high accuracy over its lifetime.
