3. Core Selection Elements and Steps
3.1 Five-step Selection Method (Ensure Accurate Matching)
Step 1: Medium Characteristic Analysis (Key First Step)
Dielectric Constant (εr): For media with low dielectric constant (εr<1.8, such as liquefied gas), 80G high-frequency radar must be selected for strong signal reflection.
Corrosiveness: For highly corrosive media (such as acids and alkalis), 316L stainless steel + PTFE antenna material should be selected.
Viscosity: For high-viscosity media (>1000cP), non-contact type is recommended to avoid material hanging affecting measurement.
Temperature/Pressure: Confirm whether the working temperature and pressure of the medium are within the product parameter range; customization is required if exceeding the range.
Step 2: Working Condition Environment Evaluation
Interference Factors: Severe steam, foam, dust → 80G high-frequency radar is preferred for its strong penetration ability.
Agitation Condition: If there is a stirrer → select the model with beam angle ≤2° to avoid the stirring paddle.
Installation Space: For narrow space → select miniaturized antenna that supports side-mounted installation.
Explosion-proof Requirements: For flammable and explosive places → explosion-proof rating of Ex d IIB T6 or higher must be selected.
Step 3: Confirmation of Measurement Requirements
Accuracy Requirement: For trade settlement and precise measurement → select the model with ±1mm accuracy.
Range Calculation: Actual liquid level height + 20% margin (e.g., 10m tank → select 12m range).
Output Signal: Select 4-20mA+HART, RS485, etc., according to the control system.
Communication Protocol: Ensure compatibility with DCS/PLC.
Step 4: Installation Method Selection
Installation Method | Applicable Scenario | Selection Points |
Top-mounted Flange | Vertical storage tanks, reactors | Flange specifications: DN50/DN80/DN100, pressure rating PN16/PN40 |
Side-mounted Thread | Horizontal storage tanks, small tanks | Thread specifications: G1½", NPT1½", confirm that there is no blind zone at the installation position |
Waveguide Installation | Strong interference, low dielectric constant media | Use with waveguide to improve measurement stability |
Step 5: Additional Function Configuration
Display Function: On-site display and button operation → select the model with LCD display.
Alarm Function: High/low liquid level alarm → configure relay output.
Remote Monitoring: 4G/NB-IoT wireless transmission → suitable for smart factories and unattended scenarios.
Explosion-proof Certificate: Explosion-proof certification corresponding to the hazardous location must be provided.
3.2 Selection Taboos and Precautions
Avoid Selection Errors:
Selecting low-frequency radar (6GHz/26GHz) for low dielectric constant media → weak signal reflection leads to inaccurate measurement.
Selecting guided wave radar for high-viscosity media → material hanging is easy to affect measurement accuracy.
Selecting radar with large beam angle for narrow space → signals are easily reflected and interfered by the tank wall.
Key Parameter Verification:
The range must be ≥ actual liquid level height + 20% margin.
The working temperature/pressure shall not exceed the rated value of the product.
The explosion-proof rating must match the hazard zone classification of the use site.
