Expanding the range: Honeywell announces a new line of microwave level products
August 2008
Level Measurement & Control
VersaLevel includes guided-wave and free-space radar level transmitters for easy, accurate and efficient monitoring.
The introduction of VerdaLevel by Honeywell has enhanced the company’s expanding field device portfolio, providing customers with accurate and easy to install devices for efficient tank level monitoring. German-based Krohne will manufacture the level transmitters to Honeywell’s standards and specifications for quality, performance and reliability.
“Many manufacturers who invest in sophisticated process automation and control solutions must seek out separate vendors for specialised instrumentation like flow and level transmitters,” said Revathi Advaithi, vice president and general manager of Honeywell Field Solutions. “Adding the VersaLevel product line to our instrumentation selection gives customers the option of a single source for everything from specific instruments to enterprise software that connects the control room to the board room.”
The VersaLevel product family includes a full line of guided-wave and free-space radar level devices. Both types of devices are suited for a wide range of industries, including chemical, minerals and mining, oil and gas, petrochemicals and pulp and paper.
The guided-radar level transmitter uses sharp electromagnetic pulses to measure distances and levels for liquids, pastes, granulates, powders and liquid interfaces. The device has higher signal dynamics and a sharper pulse than conventional guided-wave devices, which results in better accuracy. It also features a user-friendly and easily accessible touch screen, which displays in nine languages.
The free-space radar transmitter is ideal for applications that require non-contact measurement in difficult process conditions, such as tanks with agitators. The device features triple barrier gas-tight protection for applications that involve dangerous gases. In addition, the free-space radar device can measure up to 80 metres and operate at flange temperatures up to 200°C.
