Guided Wave Radar Level Transmitter

The Apure guided wave radar level transmitter measures level with microwave pulses that travel along a probe. Choose the probe and process connection for the vessel, medium and operating conditions.

How guided wave radar measures level

A microwave pulse travels along a rod or cable probe and reflects where the dielectric properties change at the product surface. The instrument uses the return time to determine distance along the probe and converts it to level using the configured reference.

Probe and vessel checks

Provide the medium, its dielectric properties, the vessel height and nozzle dimensions, and the process temperature and pressure. Check probe clearance, buildup or bridging, and loads on the probe in moving liquids or bulk solids. Verify the usable span and the areas near the top and bottom of the probe where measurement may be limited.

These are the previously listed family values. Confirm the exact model and probe before using them for design. Check the applicable frequency, measuring span, accuracy conditions and pressure–temperature limits for the ordered assembly.
