Product Description

Function and measurement system
Measuring principle
The MGS series of guided wave radar level meters is a state-of-the-art "top-down" measurement solution employing the Time of Flight principle. By emitting high-frequency pulse signals to the probe, these signals journey along until they meet the material surface, triggering a reflection. This reflected signal retraces its path along the probe and is captured by the instrument. Ingeniously, through our unique equivalent sampling technology, the time elapsed between pulse emission and reception is ingeniously converted into the distance from the instrument's reference point to the material surface, thus accurately determining the level. This groundbreaking measurement technique is known as TDR Time Domain Reflectometry, ensuring precision in every reading.

Import
The echo pulse signal makes its way from the probe to the instrument's electronic unit where a sophisticated microprocessor picks apart the received signal to single out the true level echo signal. This is achieved through advanced intelligent software, which impeccably identifies the correct echo signal. The distance measured, D, directly correlates with the pulse's travel time, t, calculated by the formula: D = c * t / 2, with c representing the speed of light. Knowing the empty tank height, E, allows the level, L, to be calculated as L = E - D, as depicted in the reference diagram.


Output
Tailored to the specific conditions of the field, the instrument is calibrated with parameters such as the height of the empty tank (zero point) and full tank (full scale), allowing it to seamlessly adapt to the measurement environment. In alignment with the user's range settings, the 4~20mA output is configured, and communication is facilitated through the HART protocol for enhanced interoperability.

explain	· Usually, cable probes are used to measure solid particles, and rod probes are only suitable for measuring light solid particles with good fluidity in small ranges (about 4m); · Rod or coaxial rod probes are usually used to measure small range of liquids. Cable probes are used to measure liquids with a range greater than 4m or in situations where rigid probes cannot be installed on the top space; · The coaxial rod probe can measure the viscosity of liquids up to 500cst, the coaxial rod probe can measure liquefied gas, the nozzle and the internal structure of the material tank have no effect on the measurement; · When used for measuring the material level of large bins, the cable probe should be equipped with a plastic sheath to maintain the seal and prevent the cable from breaking due to side pressure; · Corrosive media should be selected for corrosion protection; · When the measured medium is a very loose material, it can be classified as a class with low dielectric constant; · The maximum range of the instrument will be reduced due to the influence of working conditions, such as: very loose surface material, adhesion caused by wet medium.

explain: 1. The top blind area refers to the minimum distance between the highest material surface and the measurement reference point; 2. The bottom blind area refers to the distance near the bottom of the probe that cannot be measured accurately; 3. Effective measurement distance refers to the distance between the top blind zone and the bottom blind zone. Only when the material is within this distance can the reliable measurement of the material level be ensured.

Tailored antenna openings make it perfect for applications such as coke level monitoring, slurry storage tank measurement, and assessing solid particle levels with precision.


Measuring Condition: Setting the Stage for Precision
• Measurement Range: The starting point of measurement kicks off where the radar beam tangibly touches the tank bottom. This becomes particularly crucial in tanks with disc-bottom designs or those adopting conical discharge ports, as levels below this contact point remain unmeasurable.
• For mediums with a low dielectric constant (Class A and B), measurement accuracy is at risk if the medium sits at a low level (depicted as Figure C). It is advisable to position the measurement zero point at a safe distance from the tank bottom to avert accuracy degradation, as the figure suggests.
• Theoretical Measurement Range: The measurement's theoretical span can extend to the antenna's tip. To counteract corrosion and adhesion effects, ensure at least a distance marked as A from the end of the measurement range to the top of the antenna, especially during condensation.
Minimum Measurement Range: The range denoted as B is intrinsically tied to the antenna type selected. Refer to the accompanying table for detailed insights.
Tank Dimensions: The tank's diameter needs to exceed D, and its height should be no less than H, as indicated in the subsequent table.

· Influence of Gas Phase: A Key Consideration
When steam graces the liquid's surface, high pressure can impede signal transmission speed. This phenomenon is steam-type specific and becomes notably accentuated in colder climates. As the distance between the measurement zero point (flange) and the material surface extends, so does the measurement error, as illustrated in the ensuing table.
