Radar Radar is a non-contacting, continuous level technology. There are two types of radar transmission methods: Pulsed Time of Flight (PTOF) and Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW). PTOF transmits periodic electromagnetic pulses and, like ultrasonic, measures the transit time. FMCW, the method used by AMETEK Drexelbrook, continuously transmits an electromagnetic wave to the surface of the process material and compares the transmitted frequency versus the received frequency. The electromagnetic wave is constantly in contact with the process surface which results in more power applied to...

Interface Measurements RF Admittance has a long-standing reputation as a proven technology when making difficult interface measurements. Recent developments in TDR have also made this technology a viable solution for some interface applications. RF level is the time proven, best available technology for indication and control of process interface level. RF technology inherently provides the greatest accuracy and repeatability in interface measurements independent of density changes. Variations in the material make-up of upper and lower liquid phase will have no appreciable effect on system accuracy...

Operating Principle The method of using RF Admittance to measure water cut is widely successful because of the large difference between the dielectric constants of oil (k ˜˜ 2.3) and water (k ˜˜ 80). The sensing element and the pipe wall form the necessary two surfaces of the concentric capacitor. The system electronics transmit a radio frequency voltage to the sensing element that measures changes in capacitance. As the amount of water in the flowing oil increases, the net dielectric of the fluid increases which causes the capacitance to increase. The onboard electronics will compute the relationship...
