Radar sensors are often used for level measuring under extreme conditions, such as temperatures above 150°C and pressures over (10 bar). The construction of the sensors is therefore mechanically elaborate and expensive.
In many applications, the temperatures are below 80°C and the pressures less than (3 bar). Radar technology would be an ideal solution here. However, many radar instruments on the market are just too expensive for standard applications because they were developed primarily for difficult process conditions.
Vega, market leader in the area of radar level measurement, has introduced a new instrument version that was specially developed for standard measurement tasks. The completely plastic-encapsulated antenna system of the VEGAPULS 61 opens up new possibilities for radar through its cost-efficient design. Most importantly, the user does not have to forego the intelligent signal processing and convenient operation which are customary with Vega products. The sensor is designed according to Vega's plics concept and is available in a number of different versions.
VEGAPULS 61 is suitable for process temperatures up to 80°C and pressures up to 3 bar. Its measuring range of over 20 m opens up a wide spectrum of applications - from level measurement in storage tanks to river gauge monitoring. VEGAPULS 61 also has approvals for use in the Ex hazardous area Zone 0.
The sensor can be mounted simply with a collar flange on the vessel process flange or fastened to a shaft wall or ceiling with a stainless steel bracket.
