VEGA GrieshaberVEGAPULS 64 radar level sensor

VEGA Grieshaber has released the VEGAPULS 64, a radar level sensor that measures at a frequency of 80 GHz, which allows better focusing of the radar beam. With this instrument, measuring is claimed to be easier and more reliable, even under difficult conditions, such as tanks fitted with heating coils, baffles or agitators.

The sensor can be used in vessels with internal installations or heavy build-up on the walls, as its focused microwave beam simply avoids these obstacles.

Media with very poor reflective properties, such as a low dielectric constant, can now be measured with more certainty than previous radar sensors. Even foam, turbulent product surfaces, condensation or build-up on the antenna are no problem.

It has an accuracy of ±2 mm, even with a measuring range of 30 m.

The VEGAPULS 64 is suitable for use in the pharmaceutical and food industries because of its hygienic materials and design. The relevant approvals for this sector, such as 3A and EHEDG, are available at launch.
