What is the difference between ultrasonic level meter and radar level meter?

Published On: February 26th, 2024

What is the difference between ultrasonic level meter and radar level meter? Today to give you a brief introduction, the main difference lies in its working principle.
The working principle of ultrasound is: the principle is to measure the time required for the entire process from the issuance of an ultrasonic pulse to the return. The ultrasonic level meter is vertically installed on the surface of the liquid, it sends an ultrasonic pulse to the liquid level, after a period of time, the sensor of the ultrasonic level meter receives the signal reflected back from the liquid level, the signal is selected and processed by the transmitter circuit, and the distance from the liquid level to the sensor is calculated according to the time difference between the ultrasonic level meter and the ultrasonic wave.
Because of its principle, the ultrasonic level meter can only be measured under conditions of no pressure, no dust and no steam.

The working principle of the radar level meter is that the radar level antenna emits a narrow microwave pulse, which is transmitted down through the antenna. After the microwave touches the surface of the measured medium, it is reflected back to be received by the antenna system again, and the signal is transmitted to the electronic circuit and automatically converted into the level signal (because the microwave propagation speed is extremely fast, the time taken for the electromagnetic wave to reach the target and be reflected back to the receiver is almost instantaneous).
Due to its working principle, the AL1000 radar level gauge can be used to measure water and liquid storage tanks, acid and alkali storage tanks, slurry storage tanks, solid particles, and small oil storage tanks. All kinds of conductive, non-conductive media, corrosive media. Such as coal bunker, ash bin, oil tank, acid tank and so on.

Radar Level Meter

It can be seen from the above two differences that the radar level meter can completely replace the ultrasonic level meter, which is not afraid of strong dust, high pressure, high temperature, steam and foam conditions.
However, the price of the radar level meter is twice that of the ultrasonic level meter, because the simple working condition can be completely used with the ultrasonic level meter, which can save costs.
