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.
