VEGA VEGAPULS 64 radar level sensor for liquids

VEGAPULS 64 is a radar level sensor for liquids, operating at a frequency of 80 GHz. The product features high dynamics and good-quality focusing, enabling media with poor reflective properties, ie, low dielectric constant, to be measured.

Due to the improved focusing, the beam simply passes by internal tank installations or build-up. Interfering signals, which previously had to be filtered out with false signal suppression, now play hardly any role in the measurement process. Moreover, VEGA offers process fittings with an antenna diameter of only ¾″.

The technology also allows precise measurement of the level very close to the tank bottom. This opens up perspectives in determining the level in small containers used in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, as well as determining the amount of fuel left at the bottom of large fuel tanks. Measurement accuracy is ±2 mm, even with a working range up to 30 m.
