Magnetrol® offers best-in-class radar instrumentation that packs a powerful punch. Eclipse® 706 Guided Wave Radar and Pulsar® Model R96 Non–Contact Radar transmitters provide measurement performance that far exceeds traditional level control technologies. From very light hydrocarbons to water–based media, MAGNETROL radar instrumentation is versatile enough to handle a wide range of processing applications.
Radar technology has revolutionised level measurement in a variety of process industries since the introduction of 4-20mA loop powered, radar-based transmitters in the 1990s. Both guided wave radar (GWR) and non-contact radar have numerous advantages over older, more established level measurement technologies.
Both guided wave radar and non-contact radar have the same general principle of operation (microwave time of flight) and no moving parts. Because of this, users can retrofit these radar transmitters into various process applications and see improvement in efficiency and accuracy, including applications that use these technologies:
- DPs, due to SG shifts, installation cost, and leak points
- Buoyancy, due to SG shifts, moving parts, calibration issues, and cost
- RF Capacitance, due to cumbersome calibration, dielectric shifts, and coating issues
- Ultrasonics, due to vapor effects, turbulence, and foam.
Guided wave radar and non-contact radar are related technologies, and together they are a powerful combination that can cover the majority of your continuous level control needs. A very similar user interface and quick disconnect electronics means that, if you know how to use one, you’ll know how to use the other.
