80GHz Radar for High Temperature Tank and Reactor Levels

For reactors, buffer knockout tanks and similar process equipment, operating temperatures tend to run high, and steam together with condensate commonly appear within the vessel gas space. When carrying out level measurement for such units, our preferred instrument option is the 80 GHz radar level transmitter. Regular grade 80GHz radar devices cover process temperatures from -40°C up to +200°C. Custom high-temperature variants can handle process temperatures as high as 1000°C, making them well-suited for hot-wall vessels where steam and condensation occur simultaneously. Below we go through the......

Guided Wave Radar vs Pressure-Based Level Sensors

Guided wave radar and pressure-based level sensors are common contact-type instruments used for liquid level measurement in industrial storage tanks. Pressure-based level sensors represent a more traditional measurement method; they offer consistently stable performance and are highly trusted by users. Guided wave radar level transmitters utilize newer measurement technology, providing high accuracy and suitability for a wide range of complex operating conditions. The choice between guided wave radar and pressure-based level sensors should be determined based on actual operating parameters. RF......

Non-Contact Level Measurement for NaOH Caustic Tanks

For a project involving level measurement in a sodium hydroxide (NaOH) storage tank, the client had previously used pressure-based level transmitters. Given the corrosive nature of the strong alkaline medium, we recommended an 80 GHz non-contact radar level transmitter; compared to ultrasonic alternatives, this instrument offers superior corrosion resistance and effectively handles in-tank condensation issues. Below is an in-depth comparison between non-contact radar level meters and ultrasonic level meters, covering practical measurement principles, applicable working conditions, and real-wor......

RF Capacitance Level Transmitters for Turbine Oil Tanks

For a turbine oil tank level measurement project, the client specified an RF capacitance level transmitter with a 700mm coaxial rod probe and PTFE insulation. The operating conditions are 200°C and 24 bar, with a 4–20 mA + HART output and a 1.5″ BSP threaded connection. An assessment based on application experience confirms that an RF capacitance level transmitter configured with a coaxial probe and PTFE insulation is suitable for these 200°C operating conditions. However, the signal output and thread size require final verification before project implementation. Below, we outline the co......

Guided Wave Radar Level Transmitters: Alternative to Other GWR Brands

In industrial tank level measurement applications, high-performance guided-wave radar level transmitters—such as the Eclipse 706-512B-320—have become the ideal choice for many high-precision operations due to their stable measurement performance. The 316 stainless steel model, in particular, meets the measurement requirements for the majority of standard industrial media. Unlike the simple selection process for general-purpose instruments, accurately selecting a guided-wave radar level transmitter requires a comprehensive assessment based on actual on-site operating conditions. Four key factor......

PSI to Feet of Head Conversion (Feet of Water to PSI): Formula, Chart & Calculator

A water pump is a device used to transport or pressurize liquids. Pump head refers to the height to which the pump can lift water; pump head is directly proportional to pressure. Based on clear water at 4°C (39.2°F), density 1000 kg/m³: 1 psi = 2.31 ft H₂O = 0.703 m H₂O; 1 ft H₂O = 0.433 psi; 1 m H₂O = 1.422 psi = 9.81 kPa = 0.0981 bar. For other liquids, divide by the specific gravity (SG). Next, let us examine in detail the relationship and conversion between head (feet or meters) and pressure (psi, bar, or kg/cm²).
